Thanks everyone.
Closeups don't seem to be as simple with this camera, Sony, as with my previous Panasonic Lumix. Both are just compacts but the Lumix had a macro zoom setting. However, the Sony, has a tilting screen which I love; swings and roundabouts.
This bimble was also my first using viewfinder (I know, I'm well behind the learning curve) but am proud to report that I achieved a magnificent 1.8mph despite photography, lunch and church stops
