Unfortunately, no camera maker has yet repealed the

I don't think there's any hard and fast rule. You
need to evaluate each situation: how fast is your
"bug" moving? How much ambient light is there, and
how dark or bright is the background compared to the
foreground? That's where practice, experience, and
more practice come into play. And exposure bracketing
helps, too And it's why not everyone makes brilliant
macro shots.
