Hello AT Videographers & Photographers.
i don't often venture over here because my trusty Nikon Coolpix 990 that i paid about $990 for worked fine until recently.
so i bought the Nikon S220 (yes, the purple one ) and now i'm trying to take close-ups like i could with the Coolpix 990.
i like taking close-ups (coin, bug, soil sample, extracted tooth - normal household objects ) but i can't figure out how to get close-ups with the S220.
i read the instructions and have been using the "W" and "T" knob thing at the top. i tried taking a picture of a neighbors car, that went OK. it was about 75 yards away but i could zoom in on the license plate & get some detail.
but when i try taking a real close-up (e.g. if you were to have something the size of 2 or 3 US 25 cent coins entirely filling the field of view of the camera) i just get blurry useless images.
is there a way to get close-ups with this thing ?
any and all help getting this sorted out would be so much appreciated ! :sun:
