Oh, it has a macro thing. Maybe I'll capture an ant on a
quarter

Scotty, higher ISO settings will boost the camera's sensitivity to
light, but also make images more noisy with less detail.
Read the manual and try the various settings. I prefer the spot focus
setting because I always know if I have a sharp shot that way. Use
batteries rated to 2200 at least and you'll get plenty of shots, even
more if you don't use the screen. You can set an audible signal to let
you know when you have focus lock.
Enjoy.

I'll play with it this w/e. Have a wedding to shoot next
week. Most likely I'll just use the auto settings.
I have 2 pair of rechargeable NiMh batts., don't know what
their rated at. Also carry 2 spare Alk., just in case. I
get them for free.
