Most point and shoots have manual modes now. My old cybershot that I got like 7 years ago has manual mode. The iso is only adjustable from 100-400 though.

A higher iso usually causes noise. You can put it into manual mode and adjust the f stop and shutter speed to compensate for a low iso. Iso is how sensitive the camera is to light. The higher the number, the brighter the pic

Now we're in the same ballpark!

Thanks :)

Yep. It has a manual mode. So, back to the eccj picture.... should the picture be lighter or darker? Should I have changed the ISO?

Now that's a nice, easy explanation... prolly the first one that makes any sense. I have tons to learn, so little things like that are pretty important. Thanks!

The picture is crisp and sharp. It looks good. I think that it's te white background that makes it too "bright". I'm a fan of darker pictures though. Since you shot it in auto mode, the ISO probably isn't the problem. What I'm seeing as noise on my phone could simply be the bokeh from being a macro photo.

No problem man. I'm happy to help others understand it a little better. It takes time and practice to fully grasp it all though. I really wish I had a DSLR again. :(

my Powershot G9 has a great manual feature. I like simple quick snap shots, I enjoy great video and the manual function was icing. Hell even i need some help with the manual needs but i do enjoy playing with it:banger

Bokeh is that blurring effect that you get past the point of focus. Also called depth of field. Macro does a great job of creating that narrow depth of field on point and shoot cameras. Unfortunately it only works on the close up shots.

OK, for the illusione eccj pic I took....

It says the ISO was 800. The f was 3.2. Exposure time was 1/20 of a second. 6mm focal length.

I don't know if that is good or not. Give me some advice if I should change one of those values and I will re-try the shot.

Bokeh is that creamy, buttery, smooth background that people like soooo much.

The subject is the bread, the bokeh is the butter.

I took this shot the other day while walking teh dag. Notice the out of focus fore ground and back ground. The out of focus back ground is what is called Bokeh.
