Description
HUGE HUGE HUGE FILE.It's a very Basic and simple little Guide.
Basicly helps you figure out your settings,
that will enable you to make pretty photo's with small compact cams.
I did my best not to use and strange pro photographer words. That could confuse you.
But i guess cameras and their settings will always confuse you when your new to it.
hope it will help people :"D

Thank you! I was convinced my camera was simply refusing to take nice shots of my doll. I finally got my first nice shots of him, thanks to this quick tutorial! Very helpful!

I just wanted to say that this is one hell of a guide, and it will definitely be useful for when I get a cam with good stuff like aperture and shutter speed. ^^
Thank you so much.

I unfortunately still have to search for more information on my camera, Mines a Fujifilm FinePix S1000FD. :/ I am still trying to figure out the best settings, Three days later.><'

xD Buttons are in many different places, And some features shown on yours are different. XD; *points at rather bulky camera.* XD

yes, but with the cam manual you should be able to locate these settings and use them in roughly the same manner.
Knowing that these settings are on you cam.. is a huge step.
Finding them is a matter of..pushing buttons XB
I used to have a Fuji s5600 so i know exactly the menu display you have ;'D
And shutterspeed is set on m in the same way and apature by pushing the -/+ button + pushing the arrows up and down.
Unless they added another button to lower or up a setting ^__^"
Is should be under the button with the rater large F ... or it was wb..or it is both,
i think wb was under the menu button.
*cracks her brains...*
A friend of mine has a new Fuji finepix S series, so i might ask her to take it to school this week so i can make another tutorial..
and one of a DSLR as well.

I've got a Canon SD850, and even though I don't think it has aperature and shutter speed settings (drat!) this definitely helped me out a lot with white balance, ISO and how to use my macro. Thanks! ^^

Jup.. no shutterspeed or aperature. But ISO,WB and macro work XB

Yeah, they definitely helped and I didn't know how to use them before. ^^ I was practicing with one of those little wooden models you use to help with drawing since I don't have a doll yet. xD

This helps me so much! I've had a Canon A620 for a couple months now and still haven't figured it out yet! Thanks~!

My dsc-w150 doesn't have the option of manually change the shutterspeed or at least i can't find it.. 
Am i asking too much from my little cam
Great tut !
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well some camera's do some don't.
It might be a software update will help..
but im afraid it wont change much to what you can set and not.
But you can always try.
I will make a what to check when buying a basic camera guide next time XB
So peeps know what to look for when buying a new one.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Same camera as me. ;o
I'm glad you put the iso thing there, now I know why the manual setting was taking grainy pictures. xP
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
it helps a LOT!!
though now i'm wondering... my sony cybershot does have the +/- setting, but... i always thought it was just meant to make photos darker/lighter XD;;; now i wonder it it's apperture/shutter speed o.o; i never noticed these differences you mentioned in my photos o.o; (or maybe i'm a super newbie >.>;;;;; *gets kicked*)
anyway, thanks for the guide \o/

+/- normaly is used to make your cam monitor lighter or darker..
>_< dont change that setting.. because the picture will be darker or lighter when you put it on you computer.
It is only when you have it on M setting and can set A+ SS [lol making it shorts now] that you can use it to switch between the two.
But now you know what it means you might be able to find it on your cam [lol you know sorta where to look now]

I searched and searched, and I think my camera doesn't have the option to change apperture/shutter speed manually XD;;;
From what I could guess, it changes depending on the photo, automatically.
Oh well XD
But thanks anyway! It helped me to understand better my cam! XD

yeah most newer camera's have them auto now o---o.
Kinda confuses me..you see i now have the a590 and the newer version doesnt have it eather..while it's about twice the price this one is.
I looked at all the stats and.. the only differenc on the cams i found was the sensor which was 0,42 insteas of 0,4 and 9.0 MPixels instead of 8 .. [and if your not gonna print wall size this doesn't really matter]
I guess the companies decided it was all useless fancy stuff that random grand parents won't use anyway D::::"

That REALLY doesn't make any sense!
If it's a newer version, they shouldn't take out these kind of configs D=
Indeed, they must think it's way too confusing for the poor grandparents D=
(that, or they really want us to go for the $professional$ stuff only
