[Dancing frogs]

I seem to be having hit or miss luck with getting good pics out of my pentax optio33wr (3.2mp). It does have a macro zoom, which I use most of the time. My trouble is that I can get it to focus almost perfect, then when I take the pic, 3 times out of 4 the pic turns out quite a bit different than what the screen showed before snapping the pic.
Maybee I need a tripod?
How many of you use a tripod or some other support when taking frog pix?
Thanks,

I always use a tripod when photographing in macro mode. The magnification is so great, that handholding is almost impossible. If you have a remote, use that as well. Try it with a tripod and you will see that the pictures will be much clearer.

...Or resting the front of the camera/lense on the glass of the tank to help stabalize the picture.
