Hairytank is on a distinguished road
Default Focus

I have a Canon Powershot A95 5 megapixel camera and have similar problems. Even when it is on macro, it will not focus very well on anything close up in the tank.. of course if your glass has anything on it (algae, scratches..) then it will try and focus on the glass. I have found, if you use the zoom, it has an even harder time focusing. One thing I have done is get the best picture I can without zooming in and then croped the photo to "zoom" in. Not great alternative.

I have tried several different settings, but have had little success with this camera for good quality aquarium shots. Part of the reason I have not posted tank photos...
Would like to pick up a Canon Rebel SLR.
