This is the one i use, they don't get very hot at all when charging. I do notice a temperature difference if i put them in some other chargers. The batteries can be so hot that i can't hold them.

What you can do is if you are zooming into a macro shot is zoom in with autofocus on until the camera can't focus anymore, then switch it to manual focus & wind it in until you have focus.
You will have a short depth of field though.
Try that greg.

Maybe there wasn't enough contrast for the camera to focus properly. Mine does the same thing sometimes.

I'll mess with it in the morning Pete. I have to figure out the manual focus thing, I've messed with it a bit but the "Light bulb" over my head hasn't flickered on yet.
Cheers!

You should see a huge improvement in the colours if you white balance with the red filter in place. Turn off your lights though if you are using the red filter.
Looking forward to seeing some footage.
Good luck mate.

Thanks for the heads up on MWB w/filter. I was going to try it both ways, but you saved me the time...LOL. I'll upload something this afternoon.
