Even at max zoom on my camera I dont have much trouble... just get it close, focus and then get it the way I want it. OR you can just turn it on for a long distance shot, then back off. Either way, stabilizer off = more batterykylef wrote:
And usually gets better pictures if you have something to focus onWallpaper wrote:
Ive never had a Sony before, but there also could be an option in the settings that opens up the advanced settings. /shrug
Also if there is an option to have the image stabilizer only kick in when you focus, use that... It will help battery life quite a bit
It's all about achieving the right amount of light
Lower ISO = Better quality pictures, but more light required.
Slower shutter speed will let more light in the lens, but takes slower pictures - blur may occur (use a tripod).
Larger apertures (like 1.6, its a fraction 1/1.6) will also let in more light, and will blur the background.
If you're taking still shots (rather than action-y sports shots), I'd say aim for an ISO of 100, Shutter of 1/100 or lower, and aperture of 1.6 (or lowest).
The good thing about digital cameras is you can view your pics instantly instead of waiting for your film to develop. Practice and scour the internet for more help.

Thats why I have chosen a DSLR from Canon. These automatic modes fuck up your pictures, it tries to focus objects you don't even want to focus on.
And afaik you can't adjust shutter or aperture at normal Sony cameras.
Kyle, do you use RAW?
