The best technique is to manually focus and then move the camera to achieve fine focus.

Yeah, that's probably the way to do it. I'm not a big fan of the manual focus, though, but I'll give it some more try.

Manual focus by wire is usually tricky but with macro hopefully you will find it is worth the effort as you do not fine tune with a dial but move the camera. The focal point is so critical with the massively shallow depth of field in macro mode that AF is the trickiest option in practice.

Good luck.
