Am I being optimistic taking photos of insects using the 1cm macro setting on a compact digital camera? Should I aim to stop down the lens manually and hope the subject doesn't move with a slow shutter speed? The lens is f3.2 to f6.5.

I used to carry an SLR around but often used to leave it at home because it was cumbersome. I found a compact digital camera could accompany me everywhere so few photo opportunities were missed.
The file sizes are reduced here to about a 20th.
