Filming in macro with the Nizo Pro

[Jim T]

I was trying out some macro filming of my daughter asleep and found myself having to use the focal length ring rather than the focusing ring to get the shots in focus, is that the correct method?

It is my first time using the Nizo to shoot in macro and I am not sure if I have just film 3 minutes of blur. When adjusting the focal length ring I could get her sharp in the frame but the (distance) focusing ring seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

I spoke to a friend this afternoon who thinks that I may have just wasted afew carts as my footage will be completely out of focus but I had a go at the camera once again and the only way I can get the image in focus when shooting macro is to use the focal length ring.

Sorry my over zealous posting on this forum but I am just having a ball with shooting super 8 once again after almost 4 decades away from it!

Thank you
