You will have to give Andy some credit. He is 60+ years old, and shot this image handheld. I was there when he took it so I know what kind of problem may arise, and in this case, it is due ISO 3,200 and some camera shake.

Thanks KopiOkaya and madmacs for you valuable comments.

The ice cream vendor actual settings from my camera was on manual,
ISO 800, 1/4sec F3.5, DR400 and hand held.

With only one little light source from the top , I think this available lighting shot was well executed with the help of this Psn Fuji F200EXR camera.

Without any PP I crop the "WALLS" sign from the original picture to
show the sharpness of the shot.

iso 800? actually i wasn't referring to handshake, cos i thought the "drinks" and "wall's" was reasonably sharp. i did suspect the smudge was due to iso3200, but if you say it was iso 800 then i'm wondering if the noise level is really better than the f30/f31.

[andikong]

Here are 2 photos taken with high ISO 1600, manual setting and hand held.
Photo 1 : 1/40 sec, @F4 DR 400 (light source natural warm fluorescent light)
Photo 2 : 1/26 sec, @F5.1 DR 400 (under warm fluorescent light)

The above two photos was taken prior to my joining SGShoot.

[KopiOkaya]

it is due ISO 3,200

My bad....:knock1:
I thought Andy was using ISO 3,200.

maybe u were not hungry when u look at the picture?

andy did well in exploring the PnS camera. uses it pretty well in available lighting as well as showing the dynamic range from this small compact camera.

appreciated him for sharing with us during the FUN outing. he has also shown a lot to other newbies too.

for his spirit of sharing, UPssss from me!

Can you post some of the pictures and show us the results.

[KopiOkaya]

I told him there are no such thing called "best settings". Settings vary with lighting, location, type of image and objective, etc...

Photography is not one-size-fits-all underwear.

[bluffname]

Photography is not free-size underwear - one size fits all.

If got "best" setting, means all other settings are "lousier" - so why would camera makers provide them? Might as well just make cameras with one "best" setting, rather than give you choice of best, second best, third best..; all the way to lousiest. :knock2:

Like iLomo... One setting fits all. :happy1:

Ok ... he should say better setting than the exr Auto...hehe :rofl:

[bluffname]

Like iLomo... One setting fits all. :happy1:

:rofl: Ha ha ha! Another reason for my "relative" not to get too serious about Lomo! Yes, if always use the same "best" setting, what does one learn about photography? I guess many people nowadays want the easy way out - just gimme best results without me having to think too much.

[KopiOkaya]

Ok ... he should say better setting than the exr Auto...hehe :rofl:

Still, there isn't such thing called "better setting than the EXR Auto". As long as the user overrides the camera's decision to help him/her decides a suitable setting, the results will vary and is subjected to personal view and opinion.

Your "relative" will have to take extra doses of Panadol if you want him to think.

[bluffname]

He should rightly say... what is best setting for situation 1, what is best for situation 2, what is best for situation 3.... and there will be endless "bests".

Altho he did say "what is best for low light without flash" there are still too many variations. eg how low is the low light, setting sun or moon light or lamp or candle light, whether subject is still or moving, tripod or handheld, etc etc including what sort of effect do you want to achieve?

Anyone who asks what is best deserves to be :knock1: but anyone who tries to provide an answer deserves to be :knock2::knock1:

Yes, probably all of us are used to just using auto mode. But we quickly realise that auto does not "automatically" produce best results.

In my case, I used to shoot semi-auto, ie aperture priority, ie set the aperture and let camera determine the exposure. And sometimes use exposure-compensation, ie purposely make image brighter or darker. Later when shoot concerts realise that better to use Shutter priority. But still not always best, cannot predict what the camera will come up with, still sometimes too dark, too bright or totally havoc pixs.

Same with white balance (WB). For long time never knew how to adjust so just use auto. Even when I discover early on that auto WB turns golden Christmas lights to white, I still use auto because dunno how to adjust.

Finally, today I shoot mainly on Manual mode, everything adjust myself. And I get "better" results, still not yet "best". Sure, still make mistakes. Biggest mistake was after shooting concert in low light at night, next morning got fire opposite my block of flats. Quickly shoot shoot shoot, all the pixs over-exposed until pure white, reduce exposure to -4.0 still too bright!

That's the best way to learn. By shooting and making mistakes. Not by asking people what is "best"? Even reading up is not so good. Best to practice and learn from there.

At least with digital camera, you learn almost instantly. Last time with film, you shoot and realise few hours or few days later that you make mistake. And unless you wrote down your settings, you may not even be able to know what mistake you made. You only know your pixs turn out horrible! And that you wasted good money on film, processing and printing / scanning costs, approx $1 per image without printing.
