•  Comment - Not a good idea to use the camera in autoexposure for macro shots. In this case you would need a much smaller aperture for DOF. Also, it is usually required to identify the species. -- Alvesgaspar 22:30, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the advice. When I keep a smaller aperture, (higher f-number right?), the camera shake blur increases. Is there a way to reduce the blur then? Muhammad 11:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
    • A tripod can reduce the blur to a minimum. --Richard Bartz 12:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
      • A tripod is bulky. Won't carrying it around scare the butterflies or insects? Muhammad 16:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
      • You may well do without a tripode (unless you want to reach Richard's quality). A firm grip on the camera and a rule of thumb: use a shutter speed at least as high as the optics focal length. Most of my macro shots were done with speeds of 1/60 or 1/80. Another thing: high ISO's are not usually good, use ISO 100 whenever possible. -- Alvesgaspar 19:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
