Almost all my makeup pics are taken with my point & shoot, not my SLR.

All my photography knowledge is self-taught.

Re: ***How to take better makeup pictures with your camera***
GAH! I wish I hadn't waited so long to read this and glad I grabbed my camera while I was looking. I have a Canon PowerShot A510, too, but we must have different year models or something. My MACRO setting is on the navigation button instead of on the settings wheel.

I can't thank you enough for that Tv setting tip. OMG! I knew there was a way to make the flash less harsh; I just didn't know how to do it.

Question: when using macro, do you actually put the camera really close to your subject? Is that how it works?

YOU ROCK!

My macro setting is also on the navigation button. Yes, you put the camera close to the subject, but still at a distance where it can focus propperly.

Re: ***How to take better makeup pictures with your camera***
Thanks so much for this thread, it is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED & extremely helpful to me. I have a Canon PowerShot SD400 (5 MP) that I bought in 2005, I'm definitely going to test out all the cool features like macro when I get home!

Does it? Fantastic. The A80 did me super well so I'm hoping this one is even better. I'm squeeee! for it to get here. My husband's old camera is just...no. Not even close to what I need. *sigh*

Re: ***How to take better makeup pictures with your camera***
Quick question? Is exposure the same as shutter speed? And a positive exposure = slower shutter speed = good for makeup pictures?

Thanks so much!
