god i suck at using my camera
where do i read up to use the manual features more?
i just use it as a point and shoot cam
likewise any tips out there, esp. macro shots without a tripod?
Sunny weather, no zoom, full manual controls, fastest shutter speed for f/2.8. I like to use manual focus for this, setting it to the shortest distance and accomodating accordingly.
One tip that I found very useful is the Unsharp Mask filter in Adobe Photoshop. It GREATLY increases image quality, eliminating the A70 inherited softness.
