Well its here and i got it out and had a little read and play and cant get up close. I am terrified of telling Pete lol.
It has a macro setting on the dial but it doesnt have a specific macro lens, but that would cost as much as the camera did! so there has to be a way round it. I am guessing i have to twiddle with all the settings but i am completely camera illiterate, so in laymans terms setting recommendations would be very gratefully received please. and i mean REAL laymans cos i am really thick at understanding stuff at first. I am much better at it when i am shown face to face.

Its a Sony DSLR-A200K if that helps. Has two lenses with it the DT 18-70mm F3.5-5.6 and another which is longer and i guess for long distance photos.

Somebody help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee
