Is there a macro mode?

There are two macro modes, one closer than the other. If you leave the camera in the EGR or EXR (I forget the exact name) that mode can sense how close the main object is an automatically switch the camera into macro or supermacro mode. Of course you can also do it manually.

Yes. In fact there are 2 macro modes. Macro and Super Macro. I've only had this camera for a few months now and am still just constantly amazed at the quality and feature set. I got very lucky and picked up one "like new" here on Amazon for only $250. It's a bargain. The only thing I've bought for it since is a really good FAST 8 GB card - Sandisk makes these, a spare battery (essential), and a folding lens cap that automatically opens and closes when you twist the lens to turn it on - about $11.

Yes. There are actually two macro modes -- one is a "normal" macro mode and a "super" macro mode. The latter allows you to focus to within an inch or so of the lens.

If macro mode means to take picture at close up, I think it does NOT have a macro mode. Otherwise, I don't know.

They should be, I play WoW and I have been able to set macros to them, so programming them isn't an issue.

The only way to do it is to set a macro and just set to a key on your keyboard and set the action to that key in game. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the button.

It can be used to any sort of macros, like you say the shift+F1, I special try to do it. But you need to install the Razer synapse 2.0.

I tried to find out and the answer is I don't think so but I can't say for certain. They do allow a bunch of separate profiles and macros. I really like changing the capslock to cntrl on my keyboard

Yes. And you can get even more out of it with a keyboard macro program. I use Macro Express.

This only happens, as dgdoc said, in Easy Auto mode. The reason for this is because Easy Auto mode, unlike Program or Special Scene mode, is constantly analyzing the situation to adjust to the right setting (portrait, macro, etc.). It is pretty annoying to listen to, so I usually keep it in P mode, even though the Auto Easy mode seems to work pretty well.

I own this camera, and yes it does have macro mode. Incidentally, I have owned 5 point-and-shoot cameras over the past 10 years and this one has the best image quality by far, even though it's the least expensive camera I've ever bought.

Yes, I have mine setup with Cut/Copy/Paste and Shift as the bound commands.

I got better macro results with Auto Mode.Press the round plastic thumb ring at the 9:00 O'clock position and you will see a choice for Macro Mode, but this choice isn't available in Auto or Easy Modes.

I can't help with this question. I really bought it for it's Macro function.

Absolutely. When you program a macro, you tell it when to press and when to release a special key (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, etc.)

Yes you can. It automatically switches whichever way. BUT it is pretty uncomfortable and bulky to use in that mode. :)

I am not a gamer or power user. There are 6 profiles and you can program any button to go to a specific profile to jump between setups. I use the MACRO function to define a single key for each button, in most cases. You can also make any button a fire key, 3 5 or user defined number of times. You can set up complex key combinations as macros, as well as single keys. Good luck, I can't imagine not being able to do any function you want from the various buttons.

I found the macro capability as outstanding. However to get good results you'll need to shoot in manual mode and understand some of the basic setups and lighting conditions. Different situations require using different settings.

You can adjust the "G" keys to do pretty much anything. Just download the software for the keyboard at Corsairs site. From there you can adjust each "G" key to do anything as in adding text to using macros, pretty much anything.
