What is the best setting on a Cannon Sure Shot for an indoor Christmas Picture?
Hi, I’m trying to take a picture of my son in front of the Christmas tree. It’s a medium lit room. When I take the picture, it looks unnatural and there are alot of shadows. Ive tried adding more light to the room to see if I can diminish the shadows but it’s not working. I know the camera can do lots..but I’m just not sure what I should be doing. Does anyone have any suggestions? A: If your camera has a slow synchro mode, you can do it. Look for it under menu -> flash settings. After turned slow synchro on, switch to P mode. Since slow synchro is on, the camera will select a slow shutter speed. You won’t be able to hand hold the camera if the shutter speed is slower than 1/40s. You need to mount it on a tripod. Set ISO to 80 or 100 and do not use Auto ISO. Turn on the 2 or 10 seconds self timer. Ask your subject to stay still for 1 second and take the picture with the self timer.
