Aight guys, I'm new to the digital camera world but I just got a 5.2 MP FujiFilm E510 FinePix. I really like it but a question... I use the flash mostly and on the Auto setting. My flash is like a little pop up thing so to turn flash off i just press in the flash thing. But when I take a pic without flash it is real shakey and unclear and blurry. What setting or what do I need to do to make good high quality pics with no flash???

 

well the reason it's all shakey and blurry is because the pic is darker, and the shutter is open longer to let more light in, so when you take the pic w/o flash ( BTW flash will almost NEVER make a pic better) hold youy hands steady as possible, and if you have parkinsans or something, get a tripod( 18 bucks at walmart)...and get a tripod anyway if you wanna take night pics

hope that helps


BTW the pic in my sig was taken w/o flash, and with a tripod)

Thanks springs, you were just the guy that I was hoping would anser this. That sux that basically no matter how much u pay, u can't get a good pic with out flash.

 

?????? it's not the camera most of the time, its the person behind the camera...your camera is more than adequtte enough to take very decent pictures... it's just how you do it, see the pics i just took, those were taken with a 7 mp camera but using ONE megapixel

 

how do you control how many megapixels you use?! That article by the way helped me out a great deal. I'm definately going to head to Wal-Mart tomorrow and find a tripod

 

read the instructions for the camera,mine has an opintion in camera mode, you press a button and it goes from 1 to 7

mega pixels dont change the quality, they change the size...for examplpe, 1 megapixel will actually look better on a computer screen, because it shoots it in something like 1200x900 pixels or soemthing like that, so when you risize it to somethign like 800x600, the quality wont worsen too bad ...because the more resizing you do, the worse the pic comes out


And buy the way, you can get cooler angles w/o a tripod, with day pics you really dont need a tripod, unless you REALLY cant hold it still, the pics i recently took, were not taken wit a tripod
