My New Camera Sony 13.6megapixel Point And Shoot

[Owgasm]

Hey all,

Just received my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300.

Its got 13.6mega pixel, i really bought it just for shitzngigglez. I had my 5 megapixel for about 5-6 years when digi cams just came out with the 5, first one out

Anyways, this camera seems pretty good, i can adjust the "ISO"? which i have no idea is.

But reading around, apparently its good.

So can anyone tell me what the best setup for certain types of photos, portrait, landscape photos, cars, people etc..

What should i set the ISO at?

Thanks

ISO 100 - great for taking shots with the sun out and about. Locations with great amount of light. eg) sunny days etc..

ISO 200-400 - overcast type days. Great for indoors. So basically low lighthing conditions.

ISO 1600 - Really not much light. Eg) stage shows etc..

Just remember the higher the ISO the more grainer the pictures get.

Just google search ISO and there is thousands for tuts/articles etc.

If its just point and shoot type camera then just chuck into auto mode and it will do the rest

If you have manual options like shutter speed etc, then perhaps muck around with the camera settings.

Otherwise just keep the ISO at 100.

Or put the camera into auto mode and it will adjust automatically.

Ok sounds good.

It will be on auto, but its adjustable to about 3200 and 6400 on 3 megapixel.

Not sure if its possible to adjust the shutter speed but i'll check.

Thanks for tips already

Ok, found out some information.

I can adjust the exposure manually.

Shutter speed can be selected and set from 30 to 1/1000 seconds.

I don't know why i'm getting into all this mess, but the camera has these functions and ithought i might play with them.

Wow these digicameras these days are becoming like mini slr cameras..

WOW you get up to 30seconds expsoure? thas awesome for a digi camera

But would be useless if you dont have a tripod

Yea just stick it into auto and see how the pics turn out

man i thought my 8MP P&S was the top of the line when i bought it..but 13.6..holy crap

[Sl!m]

so where are the example pictures?

[siddr20]

but 13.6 megapixel doesnt mean anything.

8 megapixel will be just as effective.

Ya where are the pictures?

To be honest with such a massive Megapixel if the sensor is still small you will actually get pixel bleed which kinda looks like "noise"

However from memory the W300 in this situation has a slightly larger sensor and comes equiped with sony' new processor called Bionz.

Which when i went to the sony seminar training for work the bionz looks like an awesome processor

Just my 2 cents
