Problem taking macros with Nikon 5700

I just got my Nikon Coolpix 5700. I had a problem with the response of
the shutter release button, which seems to be solved by disabling
"continuous focus". Now the problem I have is that I cannot get sharp
macros. The subject appears to be perfectly focused in the viewfinder
before shutter release, but not so perfect after shutter release.
Perhaps this is not a fault of the camera, but something that can be
fixed with a tripod because of the nature of macro photography?
Thanks.

Use timer n sturdy tripod

I have also had good results with macro shots - but a tripod is almost
a necessity. Have fun with the camera and good luck...

Also, if you are looking for accessories check out Nextphoto adapters
for the 5700. I am using his 55mm adapter tube and the Olympus 0.7
WCON07 wide angle for some great dramatic shots.

He has a lot of useful products that Nikon seemed to forget.
