New Camera Problem I got a new camera a Konica Minolta DiMage Z6 as a gift and I am having the worst time trying to learn to use it. I have read the book, played with it for hours, even had all my friends work with it to figure it out. I will get one good pic (by accident I am sure) and 50 bad ones. The lighting is off, the antishake is on but the photos are blurry. I needed a camera I could take very close up pics. It says you can take macros with it but I zoom in and the pic is blurry...can anyone help me? It is a beautiful camera and I would love to become a pro at using it. Thanks, Marianne

having any better luck there marianne? in lower light or low light your camera is going to set a slower shutter speed and even anti-shake may not be enough to give you sharp pics. tha macro setting on my camera is not like a macro lens.all it does is set a smaller f/stop (aperture) so that just a few inches are in sharp focus.and if your physically too close it won't focus at all,check for your minimum focusing distance. and handheld?anti-shake is not a savior,just an assistant.where one person may be able to shoot handheld at 1/30th, another may need 1/250th. then you throw in your metering system and which sensor is picking the focus point and arrrgh. just a few things I thought of since what I read were just the cliff notes version. good luck,sam

You should talk to professionals in-person who can show you how you are supposed to photograph, like how to hold and set the camera, and to Z6 owners on how to specifically use this camera.
