Ill give it a shot !

Just received one for x mas and it has some grest features but close ups like head shots isnt one of them. If you use the macro in auto mode the best you can do is around 4-9 inches without a blurr.........I found that the apeture priority is the best........Turn the dial on top to AV ...in low light you would want the apeture around 2-3 and turn the flash off. It is nice to take multiple pics with no flash........The animals stay calmer without a flasher.Then push the icon for macro until mf shows on the screen for manual focus.........Dont use the zoom wheel by the shutter release button but instead use the 4 way rocker button left aand right. Also theres a zoom seting on the menu ...........When you turn the camera to AV and turn it on to shoot push menu.........The 4th item down is point zoom .....That needs to be on, it gives you a zoomed in image for focus. Play with the apeture if there too light or dark. You can get to about 1-2 inches from subject this way. Dont try to use the normal zoom or it will be out of focus, Heres a few I took of a boa........Sorry guys the balls are busy!!!
