Thanks guys. I've checked the data on the image and it was f3.2 @ ISO200 fl=11mm (super macro mode). Not sure how that equates as the full zoom is 63mm, but is equiv to 380mm on 35mm format. I'll have a play with aperture priority and see how it goes. Manual focus on this camera is a total non starter as it uses the up and down menu keys with the LCD display. F8 is also the highest F number this camera goes to. Not sure why my sig didn't display on the first post, the camera is a Konica Minolta Z2.
