Closeup Shots? Is there a setting for closeup?

Use iA and as close as 1cm. Use a tripod or hold still. Do not block the light. This is the equivalent to a $1000 DSLR macro lens(not counting other lenses for mid and telephoto); not including the body which would be at least a D90 body, to get similar camera features. There are many pros and cons but MACRO is a FZ28 strength.

I have not tried that function as I have not found any instruction anywhere in the manual in this regard. However, others tell me that it is possible to shoot still images.

Adjust the number of shutter actautions set to "--". That will allow you to keep taking frames until you stop the timer, or your memory card fills up.

Yes, it takes high quality close ups provided that you have it on the correct setting. Be sure to read the owners manual. I believe it comes with a 1 yr warranty

It has an automatic macro mode when the object is very close. Works reasonably well when I photograph coins.

Yes you can if it's on video mode you just simply press the photo button on top though be sure to focus it so it isn't blurry. If you want advance options switch to photo mode and simply read the instructions from that point :)

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

I take close ups of all kinds of things and they come out good. There are free photo editing software you can download that will make your close ups even better. If you want, I will take some close ups of small objects and let you see if it's the quality you want. If so, I will give you my email so I can send them to you.

In the panoramic mode you press and hold the button while take a pano shot. But the result, although excellent, is a single pano photo. I believe you may be desiring Continuous shooting which is available in the "Drive" mode for Action shots. For more info you can check out the user manual (English Version) at: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/EC-ST200FBPBUS I love the camera and so does my wife. I am an experienced amateur and my wife is a good "point and shoot" photographer. Hope this helps.

Hi, the camera has settings defined for high motion scenes, plus manual settings that allow you to truly customize the camera to the fullest. To give you an idea, i take photos a hummingbird where their wings in flight are frozen in the picture. Thanks

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

I would not recommend this camera for close up photography. I use this camera for outdoor pictures only. Inside photos seem to be a little out of focus at times. I would consider the Nikon Coolpix before this camera.

I believe you want to use "Time" exposure mode, which allows you to click once for shutter open, and click again for shutter close.

Just hold down the shutter release button. The camera is able to give you up to 7 frames of bracketed shots.

The more I read about it online, the more it sounds like it's the iA 'algorithm' that is slightly flawed. Many blogs/websites all sight setting adjustments as the easy fix. Not so cool for someone like me that was hoping to rely on the iA for my day-to-day pics, but I guess it's a learning opportunity! Good luck yourself, I will say that other than this one issue I love every aspect of the camera. Will play with settings tonight to see if I can crack it.. ~Rich

I have no idea. Scrolling through the settings, I can not find where any camera setting would be selected. Sorry.
