My Sony dscw510 won't focused on really close shots

Try this,
Touch "Menu", then Auto(Macro) and select desire mode.
Auto(Macro) -> camera will adjust focus automatically from distant subject to close-up.
Close Focus on -> Close distant shoot.

Lens block is faulty you must replace it with a new one

If it's in continuous auto-focus and doing it, then it is just not locking on to one thing and jumping back and forth between two objects that are very close together in distance and it is normal. It should stop in manual, single shot or single point auto-focus. Sony uses Nikon auto-focus technology and my D-300 with a 70-200mmf2.8 will do it if I turn the auto-focus tracking time(lock-on) all the way down with the auto-focus in full auto.

if your wanting to do macro photography (close up) on the dial on the back, click the left button on the circle and a little flower should pop up on the screen saying "Macro, close up shots" this is for pictures that are closer up then regular and U want them in focus. it takes a few times to get it focused a few times but when it is focused properly, the square in the middle of the screen should be red. if you want really close up, click the button another time and the flower should come up again and it should say "macro close up shots up to 2cm (0.8in). once again once its focused properly the square will be red. you will have to practice because it takes time to learn where its proper focusing points are but i'm sure you will get the hang of it.

on a very close up picture there should be a setting for close up pics
on my camera there is a flower shaped button, you push it and the pics will be focused for close ups
hope it helps, if it does vote for me

The focus is stuck. You should contact your local Sony service center. If they ask too much, you can contact me at [email protected]
I work in a Sony service center.

how much to replace screen on a sony sony cyber shot dsc t7

try using the little throttle that is located just below your on/off switch. if you push that either up/down, it should help you manually focus your subject. It is actually a really fun feature to play around with.

Put it on ISo & its done
