You were too close to the finger, when the camera is at >5cm the macro mode isn't working and the picture is blur as normal...

Macro mode doesn't change the minimum focus distance of your camera which is around 3" and it's a fixed capability of camera lens. In a conventional digital camera, macro mode opens the aperture full wide (it provides less depth of field) and camera try to foucs to the nearest object.
As K750i doesn't have variable aperture, macro mode just tells the camera to focus to the closest object. Here is a picture taken with and without the macro mode, pay attention where it is best focused.
I didn't change the autofocus point, the camera had chosen the Mercedes Sprinter van when the macro mode was off, and preferred the McDonnell Douglas airplane when macro mode was on.

@marct: you're welcome. although it isn't a real macro work, it shows the main function of this option.

Yeah buddy,that isn't real macro mode ! The only cell I know of with a real macro mode is the mighty N90.If you like photographing insects then the k750i is no good :-(

Well, in fact, there's nothing wrong about the macro mode of K750. I said "this is not a real macro work", it meant "I really didn't shoot a macro picture here".
Usually, a macro shoot is just to shoot an object in its real size (or even bigger). With the FedEx pictures, I just created a dept of field effect, not a real macro shoot.
I suppose N90 has a shorter focus distance thanks to Carl Zeiss lens but technically, K750 has a true macro mode.
BTW, here is a macro picture and I don't expect more from a phone. And I will hardly understand who does (Esato decreases the image quality). Better get a Nikon to shoot macros of a bug.

That has got to be the number one most typical, most idiotic Nokia fan-boy based comment i've come to expect from you Mario.
You didnt even understand what sunfury said, you just saw it as another opportunity to slag off SE and promote Nokia phones.
Ive no biased towards one company over another, but when i have to read crap posts like yours and from other Nokia fan-boys (on other websites) on a regular basis it makes me never want to buy a Nokia phone again - for fear of ending up like
you.
