I have a problem that maybe someone here could help me with. I put the camera up to the bars of the cage, and put the macro on without flash. I then zoom in a fair bit so I can get a nice close up shot of the birds cere, but every photo I take zoomed in is blurry and a red light beeps. Does anyone know how I can stop this happening?

You can tell if this is the case the bars will be sharp and the bird blurry. You may be able to change your camera setting to a manual focus to get around this problem. An easier way is to change the metering to Spot Metering (for Focus) but you can also change the light meter to Spot focus and this may help too. not all cameras have these functions though. It could also be that you are too close, check in the manual the minimum recommended distance for the Macro setting from camera to subject. Make sure you have good light so that photos without a flash don't leave the lens open for to long as this will show camera shake and be blurry. Hope this helps Link to comment

The manual says 80 cm or less for macro. The bars in front are clear as crystal but the bird is blurry as anything, so I beleive you are right. I will see if I can find the spot meter or the light meter button. Thanks very much for replying. Also, if I take pictures in my breeding shed with flash on, the pictures are all very bright and all you can see is a bright light. If I dont use flash than the pictures are blurry. Is this because my shed has no light? Edited January 23, 2009 by budgie88 Link to comment

Theirs an option that you can choose, either spot metering or square metering. This camera is so wierd. Im just going to take 500 photos and hope that atleast one is good.

They are all very very wild (untame) so I'm not holding much hope. Their cage resembles the bush as much as I could get, so they get all the privacy they can. I will update. Link to comment

Not to say this chick doesn't carry any dark factors though :rofl: so he could be a grey dark green. Link to comment

The budgies tail is dark blue. So that would make it an olive or dark green. Grey greens are supposed to have black tails. I will just wait until the baby matures to find out its mutation. Thank you all. for the help. Edited January 30, 2009 by Pearce Link to comment
