you mean when you turn on the macro, you can go INSIDE the exhibit and shoot the animal?

why don't you turn on the macro now, and see how it works.

I like the first shot the best. A little too much space on the top but composition quite good.

I have this sigma too, even if you turn on the macro there no difference since the subject is so far, except, you are stucked in the 200-300mm range (in order to switch to macro). The macro mode only allows you to focus at closer distance.
