I have a D50 with the two kit lenses – the 18-55 and 55-200, if I remember correctly. My question is – what precisely is the macro (little flower icon) mode good for? I’m still constrained by the minimum focus distance on my lens, am I not? So why would I use this mode rather than full manual, get as close to minimum distance as I can, compose, and shoot?
I’m well aware that I may be missing something blindingly obvious – I have a healthy respect for my own ignorance…thanks for any and all help
