deliberately set the exposure to plus one with flash. two bumble bees came along, fighting over the same tic weed. one shot only. fortunately it was in reasonable focus. more times than not the canon s100 misses the focus. today i constructed a flash diffuser for the camera out of a milky film cannister. i cut a little rectangle out of the cannister the size of the pop up flash. inserting this over the flash gives a less harsh light. I will install a little orange color on the back of the cannister so when i reverse it, it will give a warm tone.
little tricks to get the best out of the point and shoots.
holding the camera upside down so the flash is on the bottom.
adjusting the ISO to its lowest, under-exposing two full stops, using the flash as fill.
using manual focus.
playing around with the AP and SP modes.
taking the white balance off Auto.
taking everything off Auto.
much more to it than just pointing and shooting, which will not give the expected result.
i am still trying to make the darn thing come to focus quicker.
its all on utube i am sure.
