Yes one of the photos I'm most proud of was taken like that, it was only taken with a little Olympus automatic camera but it looked really good.
And I always take lodes delete the ones that are obviously blurred or out of focus as im going, then put the rest on the computer and pick out the best ones on there. Its not like I know anything about photography but it works for me
.
im busy today so i dont think i will be able to test the camera out again, kone thanks alot for those tips

M= Manual, full manual control of the camera
A= Aperture priority
S= Shutter priority
P= Program <full auto>
Moving subjects.
Either fast shutter speeds to freeze the subject on a prefocused area. Or pan with the subject using either fast speeds to freeze the action or a slower speed to blur the action. Both can be effective.
PS......if all else fails......read the instructions
im back, i took lots of photos and deleted most of them, un fortunately i didnt take a pic of a leaf but i will soon
pictures will be up soon, i think i will post them in list to learn as i dont was to make it hard for people to open this thread

Hey Leon-b
The Manual setting lets u pick your setting(shutter speed and aperture). Its like an over ride for the auto setting, the camera on auto picks what it thinks is the best setting. Sometimes what it thinks is the best may not be the best so this setting lets u pick what u think is the best.
Aperture priority - sets the camera to give u the highest aperture it can.
Shutter priority - Again it sets the camera to give u the highest shutter speed it can
Apeture is related to how much of a photo will be in focus. The numbers can range from 1.4 up to 64. The higher the apeture # the more that is in focus. So if you are taking a photo of a forest full of trees and some trees are 5 feet away and some are 200 feet away the higher the apeture # the more trees in the photo will be in focus. So this setting is perfect for landscapes.
Shutter speed is the amount of time the camera opens up to let light in. It's numbers are representing fractions of a second. So the higher the number the faster the camera opens and closes. This is the ability to freeze action or blur action. So this setting is great for people, animals, cars or anything that moves fast.
The realtion of Apeture and Shutter speed is inversely related. If one goes up the other goes down. So its kind of a trade off one or the other. Fast shutter speed or lots in focus.
The Program mode picks a shutter speed and apeture in the middle. Not the fastest shutter speed but not the slowest. Not the biggest apeture but not the smallest. Just something in the middle. Good for around the house, friends and family type pictures, general photography..
I hope this helps. I tried to explain it the way it was taught to me. Sometimes its hard to forget what u know and try to explain it so everyone can understand. Ill try and put some examples up as well

Excellent thanks for that,
I had something similar done at work this afternoon, then i had to deal with a customer. When i came back i had timed out and lost the lot!
i wasn't looking forward to retyping it:You_Rock_
not exactly, at least on all my cameras, one of which is a fuji S5000Kona said:
Aperture priority : this will allow you to choose the aperture you want. the camera will then calculate the shutter speed required for a correct exposure.

Manual mode will allow you to set both, but it's down to YOU to pick a combination that gives a correct exposure!
i should think leons gonna be suffering from information overload at this rate!!

. Grate info though, well worth a nether reed through I'm shore :You_Rock_ .Leon, here's a link for you : http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/enjoydslr/p_2_001.html
it's based around a canon slr camera but the explanations of aperture, shutter speed etc apply to all cameras...
work your way through the sections of part 2 - it's one of the simplest online tutorials i've seen

BTW Leon,
Has anyone told you how much your interest and asking questions has contributed to this forum?
If they haven't, let me tell you that your interest and enthusiasm adds a lot to this place - and we all learn from reading the answers to the questions you ask. Thank you little bro.

I'd like to add my support to Red's comments - You have added a great load of knowledge to us all without realising it
for example the canon site posted bt Bikething is probably the clearest site explaining photoghraphy i've found. It dosn't go into great detail but covers enough to explain the basics
rep to you both! - to red for realising and saying the obvious that we have all overlooked and bt for the site link
