Taking shots from a close distance
cannot get the camera in focus when my subject is pretty close. I'm a newbie, so I'll just tell you what it says on the lens:
AUTO - CHINON - ZOOM - MC - MACRO - 35~80mm - 1:3.5~4.9 I could of course just take it from a father distance, then digitally crop it...but I wanna move away from digital, and there may be instances where I have no choice but to take the shot close up. __________________ CHINON CE-5 35~80mm

Re: Taking shots from a close distance
Check the min focusing distance of your lens.

Re: Taking shots from a close distance
U need a macro lens for close-ups. Perhaps your macro lens isnt doing a high enough magnification.

Re: Taking shots from a close distance
a dedicated macro lens is usually a prime lens..zoom lens are not designed as true macro lens. e.g my 24-70 has a "macro" range, but it's not true macro
