Hi guys
When using my Canon g12 with a Dyron +7 diopter the depth of field is razor thin. I use Manual mode, f8, start around 1/500, Iso 80, macro mode, zoom all the way in and adjust strobe power to suit. The issue is that most times I can only get a thin band of sharp image and the rest well out of focus. As an example I took a shot of a Nudibranch a few days ago and only the Rhinophores were sharp( so a tiny portion of the image). Have I reached the full potential of compacts and need to step up to slr? Or are there other tips and tricks to obtain a larger depth of field?
Thanks
