Non diving photography help
Please help.
I am trying to photograph a wristwatch but can not get my camera to focus on the face. The camera is a Cannon Ixus 500. Any tips?

I've tried to photograph jewellery before like that. I found that mounting the camera on a tripod and then zooming in as far as possible and shooting with the timer allowed me to have a close up of the face without the blur from moving the camera.

Hopefully that might give you enough clarity for what you need?

Hope that helps a bit!

Si

it may be focusing on the reflected image that is on the glass of the watch.
