I see there is a 21x zoom, but is there a macro function?

Yes, on the black ring around "OK", there is a small picture of a flower at the bottom position; that is the macro button.

Yes, there is a macro function. I've only used it a couple of times, but it works well.

There are special effects on the camera and I believe it does include macro.

Yes it does. Open the camera app and click on the gear in the lower left. Scroll down to Focus mode and you can select either Auto focus or Macro.

Yes! You screw it off completely! It shows up blurry if you're trying to take normal pictures, but when you angle the camera close to something, its supposed to focus and look zoomed in! Keep trying, or look up info about macro lenses!

Command+shift+4 works just fine, to give you the crosshair screenshot mode on your mac. I use it all the time as well.

Under the manual focus setting, you can still press the button half way down as normal, then fine tune your focus with the wheel. You will be able to then turn it to the area needed for macro range.

I don't remember. I sent mine back. To me the size and zoom feature were not acceptable.

I got better macro results with Auto Mode.Press the round plastic thumb ring at the 9:00 O'clock position and you will see a choice for Macro Mode, but this choice isn't available in Auto or Easy Modes.

I use the macro with a single focus point. I found if I use multifocus the object will sometimes focus on the wrong area. It works great with insects small vegetation with water drops etc.

In the Settings Menu (the one with the wrend picture on the left tab) look for IS MODE. Turn it on and zoom all the way in. Then turn it off and you can tell the difference.

Yes. In fact there are 2 macro modes. Macro and Super Macro. I've only had this camera for a few months now and am still just constantly amazed at the quality and feature set. I got very lucky and picked up one "like new" here on Amazon for only $250. It's a bargain. The only thing I've bought for it since is a really good FAST 8 GB card - Sandisk makes these, a spare battery (essential), and a folding lens cap that automatically opens and closes when you twist the lens to turn it on - about $11.

To turn off the Zoom >press the Menu button on the back of the camera. You will see a icon with a camera and under it is a list of options, Digital is the 3rd one down > press the left side of circle around Func. Set to turn off.

Question 1: Yes it does have a macro mode. Question 2: You can choose either the number of pixels (9, 8.5, 6, 4.5, or 2.5), or the image quality (high or low). I hope this will help.

No. This is a general purpose walk about lens. No lens manufacture can make a true macro-zoo. Most "macro" zooms are a marketing ploy. At best they can get down to 1 to 7. A true macro should be able to get down to 1 to 1. While the macros made by Sony are worthy enough, they are poor deal. You can pick up a Tamron or Sigma macro which perform just as well and save some serious coin.
