Macro Photography

[Mi-Phone]

Hi, does anyone know of an app that will let your camera be used for macro photography and nothing else? I just got home and saw a flying grasshopper and was trying to focus on him/her but the camera wanted to focus on the background and I couldn't get a shot of him! Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks

Stock camera works well although I think used Camera+.

Hmm, nice shot! Probably just the busy background I was shooting against. Guess what I was really looking might be something that will let you manually focus the lens. This is one shot that I did manage to get

Thats a great shot! Camera+ allows you to manually focus and control the white balance at the same time using 2 fingers.

Thanks, I have Camera + but didn't know it did that until now

Touch the screen with both fingers. There will be 2 rings on the screen. One for focus and the other for white balance. You can move them around until you have the perfect shot.

I just found a great guide for Camera+
