    When you shot macro, use tripod :D

    Turn off flash, set ISO of the film to 100 MAX (any higher value introduces lots of noise on black objects). Select the program for INDOOR white balance calculation (as far as I remember Powershots S-series have got underwater white balance program ! Give it a try!). Use timer!

    Good luck!

    I use SLR Canon 30D, however macro shots look pretty the same on compact Canons! :D

    yeah ! I know that. ISO was introduced with film cameras, to describe sensitivity. So, let me correct myself. Use maximum 100 ISO film equivalent :D ...
