Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but I've also found it's a pain to focus in macro mode. Most of the time the camera focuses on some point or structure in the background and it takes many attempts to achieve an acceptable result. I don't know, it might help to reduce the AF frame size but I've also noticed this behaviour with larger objects where the size shouldn't be an issue.

The best technique with most kit in my limited experience is to manually focus round about where you want to be and then move the camera slightly near and far to the subject to achieve fine focus.
