Default Canon A590 IS Powershot HELP

Hi, I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for taking picture of my glass marbles and pendants. The Canon A590 has some manual settings and quite a few auto settings. I'm trying to get some close-ups using a make-shift light-box.

Thank You!

If it has a macro setting you can do close ups. They will have a short depth of field, however.

I have been selecting the Macro setting but noticed it looks better from further away then cropping it after instead of getting 5 inches from the glass piece for details of implisions. I wondered if anyone had the same camera and could tell me wich setting to have it on (portrait-snow-aquarium-fireworks-etc-lol) i've read a little about setting the white balance or exposure/aperture.

thanks again, TOKEN
