How to set macro mode in lumix sz3 ?

I could not find that option in the camera menu so you should look up the subject on the instruction CD that came with the camera.

On the top left of the camera you'll see a button marked 'mode'. Hold it down and the top LCD screen will display only the current shooting mode. I'm assuming you want to change the shooting mode from program (P) mode, which is the closest setting a professional camera has to auto. Anyway, while holding down the mode button turn the top dial. As you turn it you will see the settings change to Av (aperture value or as Canon calls it aperture priority), Tv (time value or shutter speed), M (manual) and bulb.

It has both macro and super macro settings, and I think it works great, especially for this price range. Flowers? No problem. Bugs? Might be more of a problem, unless you can get them to pose for you! I often take close-up photos of toy cars, and most of the time it shows more detail in the photo than I ever see when I examine them, even with my glasses on!

I just got an Alpha 58 and put my ancient 70-210 zoom on. Not only did it work, but when I turned it to full zoom (AKA "macro" position) and focused close, the screen lit up a green "MACRO" mode indication with the little flower. So it properly recognized a specific detailed function from a 25-year-old lens!

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

HS30 has the best macro capability among superzooms. If you want maximum magnification, set the FL to 150mm then macro mode at around 3-4 inches away. If you want some flares on your jewerly, set the aperture to f/5.6-f/8.0 in program mode. Point some light on the jewerly and don't use FLASH unless you have a diffuser.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

Another good way to answer your questions is to Google "Panasonic sz3 manual". Then you can use the index to see all camera functions and options.

You cannot. All you can do is half press the shutter button to force it to become ready for the next shot. There's no option to completely turn off the feature like the older Z cameras had.

You can use the macro section separately but not the fish eye with the 58mm. You could probably find an adapter, I'm not sure.

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.

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.

the macro setting isnt exactly the best, most of the time it turns out blurry - works best about 6 inches away, but the super macro mode seems to work better - for as close as about 2-3 inches. I know this probably isn't the most helpful response, but ive only had the camera for about a few days, this is just what ive noticed.

That's a very vague question. Unlocking ISF Day and Night modes in the professional menu are the most flexible settings if you're a tweaker. Cnet's review has a calibration setting that you can try (I think it's in custom mode) as well.Enjoy!

I think you need to use the "M" manual mode to set it. Otherwise, using the "S" setting allows the camera to prioritize the highest shutter speed under the conditions with the aperture to adjust to the correct exposure. When the aperture is at the maximum, the the shutter adjusts to a slower speed for the correct exposure.

I asked pretty much the same question, but I don't have a definitive answer. Zmodo said hold your hand over the lense for about 10 seconds and it should appear in color.

Macro only. I feel it's to harsh for portraits. Makes it look like a pop up flash
