Well, I followed the instructions. It took me a while to figure out how to get auto iso, which turns out to be the main difference in these pictures (although it took about 5 or 6 shots at the 1/8 speed until I got one that was in focus). I think the 1/125 is underexposed (usually the way I like pictures), but other than that, the best picture by far and away is the 1/8 shutterspeed one. I found that I couldn't really see the differences that the different iso's made unless I zoomed in dramatically, but then they were very apparent. As in, wow.
:D love experimentation, nice by the way, iso is bugger on cropped sensors and luminance in raw just destroys the clarity :( the 1 stop of light difference from 3200 to 6400 just kills them when you enlarge :(
First off - gorgeous pot/jug! Second, I had the same problem when I tried this, I couldn't see much difference. But then I used a short focal length. I too like the middle one.
I am still trying to figure out to set the camera as they've instructed. I have the ISO on auto and cannot for the life of me figure out where to change the other two. I keep reading the instructions and the manual but to no avail. It has confirmed my suspicion that I need a person next to me saying, "Ok, turn this dial...". I'm totally inept at figuring this out by reading instructions. You on the other hand have figured it out and done a good job in posting the results!
@olivetreeann I don't know if you were able to figure how to adjust the shutter speed or the aperture on your camera but I thought I would see if I could help. This is a point and shoot but you have some nice features that are similiar to a DSLR. I don't have this camera but I think I still can help - maybe you already figured it out.

Is a short demo that could be helpful.
You mentioned you are struggling with finding how to adjust Shutter speed or aperture.
At the top of your camera You see the mode dial at the top of the camera.
I think once you select the AV(Aperture Priority) or TV (shutter speed priority) mode you would actually adjust them by the moving the circle dial clock wise or counter clock wise – I think it is the one to the right of your screen viewer the dial near the macro flower picture.
@myhrhelper Thank you so much Kathy- I will look into the YouTube tutorial you linked for me. And thank you for the tips! I had just learned exactly what you said on Tuesday night when I asked one of the photographers there to show it to me. So I am on the right track and intend to spend some more time with it this week- reading the things posted here on 365 and also going through my manual. Once again, thank you so much for taking the time to post this!
@olivetreeann Your welcome I was just hoping that your questions were answered and you were able to figure it out. Those challenges are to learn so don't be afraid to ask how do I do that, how do I find the button, someone may be able to point you in the right direction. We have all been where you are now at some point in time and some day you will be able to teach someone else.
