Not sure what your problem is??? I don't have this camera but I'm assuming you know how to get it into the macro mode ... the flower icon is showing? In this macro mode I understand that you can focus from 5.5 inches to 27.6 inches when you're at wideangle and 15.7 inches to 27.6 inches when at telephoto. So if in telephoto you can't focus on an object closer than 15.7 inches and in no case can you focus at an object closer than 5.5 inches.

Also the review on dpreview.com says this about the macro mode on this camera ... (quote*** I really think it's time that an industry organization such as CIPA stepped up and placed some kind of standard on using the word 'Macro'. The HP's 'Macro' focus mode can not in any way be regarded as producing macro performance akin to that available from 35 mm macro lenses, rather it allows a slightly closer focus distance and that's about all. The macro tests below are using our new macro focus test chart and measurement system; each line on the grid is 10 mm, taken at shortest subject distance in macro mode. ***unquote)

Hope this helps a little ... Gord SW Ont.
