Digital Camera Question

[kittycats_delight]

if you have a sport setting your shutter speed will be much faster as well. I use this setting a lot when trying to get pictures of the kittens cause they shoot off like race cars. LOL the setting works well if you don't know how to change your ISO or if you don't want to use manual mode and set it up yourself for each shot. When you are dealing with animals (especially cats & ferrets) there isn't enough time for full manual so sport setting it is.

Ashley has this one and its is a slower camera. I found the key is to play with the settings. I much preferred the manual setting over the auto. She prefers auto and you can tell an definite difference between my photos and hers.... even if they are taken on the same camera. Play with the "P" mode and make little adjustments. A few minutes playing and reading the manual will yield surprising differences. I wish I could walk you through what I do but I don't realize what little things I do to tweak it.

Oh, and always try using natural light whenever possible. The more light, the faster the camera will take pictures.

Yup, I noticed that as well.

I think the pet setting has to do with moving subjects.

You can read the manual and you can also find helps here:

Scroll down and look at Features and Controls. Maybe you will find something in there.

Craftlady gave me that link when I bought my camera. It has stuff which does not appear anywhere in the Owner Manual! Good luck.
