Further to our chat in SMTR I wanted to ask more about macro settings on point and shoot cameras.
Its obviously much cheaper for me to buy a ''normal'' camera rather than a posh one with lots of lenses. The camera I have at the minute is a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80. I looked it up and it says the macro setting is:
Macro Focus Range: 1.57 in. to Infinity (w) / 13.78 in. to Infinity (t)
Whatever that means lol! Its all very technical to me. If I want to take fabulous photos with a normal camera what should I be looking for. I want to photograph my children and my rings.
I know that this subject has been done a lot but I really would like some fresh perspective. (roughly translated means its easier to ask again than search. I know, I am bad)
