This is AMAZING and I am ferreting off the recipe

I've played with the lighting and tripod and think I have that figured out. I need to more research on the macro setting, there is no info in the manual about it, but I'll continue to research. The cropping suggestion is brilliant! I'm having to resize my images anyway because they are too huge, and the resolution feels like it's sufficient enough to crop without loosing details. Thanks a ton for the comments and suggesitons!!!!

Awesome Madame Masque! This recipe works perfectly. Definately use the Macro button. Move the light source closer when doing a closeup as it puts less light between the figure and the lens. If you're using flash try turning it off, change your ISO to a lower setting and use more lights. If you have a tripod, use it. And if your camera has a timer, set it. Sometimes pushing down on the button can cause shaking and blurs. If it comes out dark, move the light around. Try changing your cameras lighting settings, incandescent, flourescent, daylight, etc. Don't put the camera to close, you can always crop the picture down. These usually give you a better resolution.

that is awesome is that the deadpool base? just hold down the button until it turns green that means the picture is clear. try opening a window next to your figure. the brighter it is the better. and use the guys advice too. it reallyd oes help.

Great figure! Love the backdrop! For better close ups on your figures use the 'macro' setting- its usually accompanied by a little flower-like symbol. Hope it helps!
