If you put the camera in P mode and go into 1cm macro mode manually via the focusing menu (right button on the 4 way pad), you can shoot at full resolution. There's going to be heavy distortion around the corners in 1cm macro mode, but at least you'll be able to work with the full-size image.
Can't help you with the aperture issue, unfortunately- the camera has a mind of its own as far as settings go. While reviewing it, I found that at ISO 800, it decided to go all the way down to the minimum aperture for no apparent reason.
