More Testing

Been trying out various settings on the camera after reading the manual during the weekend.

The 50 mm f1.8 lens I added is really good in low light, but at the same time I have to increase the ISO (to 1600!) in order to get the speed that I needed to get candid shots indoors. The downside of that is I get some graininess and loss of sharpness.

Looks like its going to take some work to get really "pro" shots :) Will try a few more things this weekend and see whether any improvements.

Meantime, check out the results of last weekend's experiments:



Another thing I learned was that I can shoot in RAW format and then edit the photo to get the picture that I want. Sample below after editing with the Digital Photo Professional software that came bundled with the camera:



RAW files are really huge though (about 11 Mb per photo).

Using a tripod will help to gain back the sharpness.

Are those taken with f1.8 setting? With f1.8, you shouldn't have to max up the ISO, unless your hands are really shaky.. hehe

As for the colors, try adjusting the white balance to reduce the warm tint.
