... my head's spinning reading all that lot ... I just point and click  ;D  I need to print off your advice so that I can absorb it properly.  :D

..... you've seen this one already David, I used the Macro function to get really close to these leaves... I love the sun reflecting off all the rain drops.



Susie  :D

Oh yes, I absolutely LOVE that picture!! Your macro lens really caught all the fine details, and you did a really good job of composing the picture. I love all the little raindrops! :D

Sorry for confusing you Susie! I hope I'm not also confusing Dev. My Mom used to always tell me "less is more" and I often forget her advice. I tend to over explain sometimes. Just tell me to shut up and I will!! That's what my Mom always did! :laugh: ;)

I just checked the specs of your camera Dev, and it has an ISO range of 80-1250. WOW!! That's a VERY wide ISO range, which is good because it gives you lots of options, but also bad if the camera is automatically setting high ISOs, and it probably is. It does this to try and make things easier for you. My suggestion would be to turn off the auto ISO, and setting the ISO manually to 100. You may have to switch the camera mode over to "program" or "manual" before the menu system will allow you to access the ISO menu screen. I'm not too familiar with Kodak cameras (other than the fact they are very good) but this is typically how the menus work on other cameras. ISO 100 should be able to handle most shooting conditions, especially if you have a tripod, and you can always switch it back to auto ISO later on if you want. :)



This is all kinda understandable but when I tried to turn off my ISO I could not figure out how yet.  Aslo I dont know how to manually set it, but one step at a time.  The ISO is auto set for high for sure.

No, the ISO has nothing to do with image storage Dev. You'll probably find it in the menu section containing things like exposure compensation and white balance. ISO is a type of exposure setting.  :)
