Hi,


was playing with the camera tonight. We've had it for a while, but I have never sat down to get the settings right. Flash photos never came out good. In fact, I took some at a function today and had to delete most of them as they were terrible (and embarrassing....). So it was "play with the camera time..."

Tonight we were experimenting with low light, flash, and no flash photos - different ISO settings, etc.

My daughter wanted to try the camera, and she snapped a photo of her brother! For a 6 year old, I thought she did well....


My son (8 yo) had to snap some as well (of his sister and his planes).


I thought that for low light levels (a couple of wall mounted halogens and the tv running), and with the ISO/aperture/shutter speed, the photos came out pretty good (a little grainy).


What a great camera!


=F.

Nice shots. Kids seem to have a natural talent for composition.

Not bad and that ISO will be a bit grainy so you did well.

I taught my wife everything I know, so she got some lessons from somewhere, she is better than I am.
