Ok. It does have a Macro mode, according to this page: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_...film_a170/
See page 21 of the user manual (download link: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_...ual_01.pdf)
Basically, just press the button with the little flower on it. Then you can focus when close to the object. Press again to put it back in normal mode. When in Macro mode, the little flower icon appears on the display (page 3 of the manual).
See also pages 55-57, which discusses the menus. Change the image size and quality to "3M", which should produce images that will fit on the forum with no resizing necessary. The default "10M" is too much.
Please give this a go. You should be able to get pin-sharp results using this mode - plenty of light, and keep the camera as still as possible. Usually better without flash. It will really help us to help you, and will help people in the future who stumble across your threads (Google really likes us!).
Hope this helps,
Mark
I've been having major problems myself with websites. I couldn't get the blogs to show as updated on Wix. This was after publishing and no changes seen at all. I racked my brains to try and find a solution but no joy. Then again, Wix has had a lot of criticism. In the old days of Windows 98 I just saved my stuff on Front Page, changed the HTML a bit and uploaded onto a server.
