Panasonic DMC-FZ20 help needed

[sailor moon]

I am trying to figure out the macro mode on the Panasonic FZ20. I have been trying all the different modes to get ready for my upcoming Alaska trip :D

 

Any insights to picture taking with this camera would be greatly appreciated :rolleyes:

 

I really like the feel of this camera and want to master it as much as possible before we leave. I only got it 2 days ago and the instuction book is less than steller :eek:

 

Help!

Very few people have a Panasonic DMC-FZ20. Try the Panasonic sub-forum at DPREVIEW.COM. This may be the best forum for Panasonic Digital Cameras in the Internet.

Seems to be some advice here about not using the macro mode:

Like deadzone says, there's lots on dpreview:

Lots of talk about adapters there. That hints it might not be a great macro camera.
