Quick Macro Mode Test on Olympus XZ-1

Posted by Ian Tan at 4:47 PM

Note, this is not the Super Macro mode where it allows focussing distance as close as 1 cm from the lens.  This is the standard Macro mode.  Also, it is not as sharp as it can be due to a slight breeze and shots being taken hand-held, so please do not regard this as the capability of the camera.  I only meant to show what you can do on an ad-hoc basis with the camera hanging on your neck.

Bunga Raya I

The 100% crop of the area around the flower’s filament (the part that connects the anther to the main body of the flower.

100% Crop Bunga Raya I

A shot of the anther.  Note that there was a slight breeze and hence the clarity of the fine “brush” is lost. The original shot.

Bunga Raya II

100% crop of the area near the filament and the anther (focused on the “dead” anther).

100% Grop Bunga Raya II

The sharpness, in my humble opinion, is pretty good for a compact camera.

I get people asking me about the best deals for hosting, have a look at this listing of windows web hosting for their reviews. Although most web hosting servers are using Linux, there is also an advatage in using windows web hosting servers especially when you use .NET web applications.
