I've been given a Canon PowerShot A620 which has a macro mode, making it possible to take pictures of text that's clear enough to be useful. I've tried this with a few things at home, but I'm fairly certain (okay, hoping) that people here have some advice on how to best use this feature when doing research. Also, can anyone recommend a tripod that is rock solid stable in order to eliminate camera shake when taking pictures in macro mode? Thanks! "John Nichols" <[email protected]>
