Hi,
I am wondering if when the macro mode is used, does it actually do anything to decrease the minimum focusing distance. (so that you would be able to get closer to the subject) For example, if the minimum focusing distance for a camera lens is 12 inches, would using the macro mode change the minimum focusing distance to lets say 8 inches.
I know the macro mode will auto adjust the aperture, and I know that in many cases it is not truly macro but simply a close up mode.
I'm just trying to figure out why manufacturers seem to make the macro mode out to be a big thing if it doesn't allow you to focus closer when it is used.
