Macro shot question with A75

[Kimlee]

How do i take macro shot of insect?

Do i get really near to it, or do i use the zoom? The 3x zoom on my A75 cannot get close enough to get a good view of the subject... E.g. really small spider... (and the subject really move fast) too near and everything blur up... :dunno: any A75 user?

You'll have to get more accessories because A75 is not capable of doing those macro shots (ie. insects) by itself.

Check out megaweb's reversed lens technique on his website.

Alternatively, you might want to just get a A75 lens adaptor and a couple of +4 closeup filters to shoot macro. The magnification will not big that much though.
