X30 macro mode - need help

[XtJerry]

The "manual" is not clear about the macro function.  I am an X-T1 user  so I am rather familiar with Fuji menus and functions, although I never used the macro function on the earlier firmware version of the X-T1.

 

When I use the menu to turn on the Macro function, I see the macro icon at the left; but I have minimal, if any, closer focusing in AF over having it turned off.  I have tried various focal lengths.

 

Do I have a defect or am I not doing something right?

If the X30 is like the X10 which I had, you should have two macro settings, one “ normal” and one “ super” macro

Yes, I have both functions, but it doesn't focus any closer with those settings than it does with the macro turned off.

 

Does the macro setting allow for closer focusing or does it just enable more accurate or faster focusing up close?

[milandro]

it should and I am sure that my X10 gave me some spectacular close-ups. I can’t remember if it worked also on the “ tele” setting but certainly in wide setting.

Operator Error

 

Doing a Fn button check my daughter's X30 had had the marked Macro Button function changed.

 

All is now well and working properly.

 

Thank you so much and I apologize for not checking the button function first.

Cheers, all is well what ends well. In all fairness it can all get very complex once you start doing all sorts of modifications to all the buttons of any of the X camera.

 

The super macro function of these cameras is truly spectacular and you can take some close ups which would be way more complex to take with any of the bigger brothers ( or is it sisters?).

 

I sold the X10 to buy a X-E2 but it is s great small camera.
