It seems to me that the performance of the macro camera is a bit underwhelming. I love using the camera, but the macro option is not that good, I use the 2x zoom on a normal photo which shows me way better pictures. Any suggestions on the use?

I found a good use of the Macro feature the other week when snapping this adorable cricket!

As the feature suggests, it is best used for close up subjects around 2cm away from the camera lens. Macro shots are usually reserved for extreme closeups of items. Used a lot of photographs of flowers etc. As opposed to a landscape shot.
