1 Select A mode (aperture priority mode) and use F2 - F2.8
2 Set your focus to MF (manual) compose your shot and adjust your focus.
(You can also choose a focus point and adjust the LX3's position to get
the desired local sharpness)
The closest you can get with the LX3 is 1cm at 24mm. The more you zoom the less you'll be able to focus close. Experiment these variables until you're satisfied of the result. Adjust the ISO according to the available lighting if your shutter speed is too slow to get a crisp image.

- awesome picture of the snail :)
Awesome work! That is truly mesmerizing and a very inspiring piece of photography.
It would be interesting to know how the close-up movements alongside the snail were done so smoothly.

Very cool! Thanks for the info! May I ask what software you used to compile the video you posted on vimeo?
Beautiful video. I love your blog, just got my LX3 last week, and am slowly learning. Tips welcome.
Thanks for the lessons! Cant wait for more tips!
I finally got my long awaited LX3 (just when I had abandoned all hope.) The blog is excellent I would like more tips. thanks!!!
Haven't needed to use a slide scanner since getting an Lx3- tripod and a lightbox- the lip on mine lets me use it vertically- and perfect slide copies as fast as you can slide the slides in place.....
Finally! Thank u! I was trying to figure out how to use the camera in it's manual mode for such a long time! And you gave me the answer. :)
