S7000 Fuji camera used with wide angle lense

Cos you've fiddled with the settings and put it on ISO 800. Put it back to ISO 100 and you'll be fine mate

Did you check the ISO setting?

If it's on auto, set it to 200 and use the flash to fill in.

Milamber has got it right. Its used Iso 800. the noise was 1 reason my 7000 went back to fuji and I now use Nikon.

:luxhello: Woohoo I got a photography question right :luxhello:

thanks guys - without sounding tooo thick

Why is ISO 800 setting making it grainy and ISO 100 / 200 wouldnt?

Although you have a digital camera (no film) the iso rating is still relevant.

Think of it as sensitivity to light. ISO 100 is less sensitive and ISO 1600 is very sensitive. Therefore in very dark conditions you would use a higher iso rating to keep the shutter speed reasonable and avoid camera shake.

In the dark the shutter has to stay open longer to let more light in, the higher the iso the less time the shutter stays open.

The downside to this ability is the amount of "noise" that you get (the graining you are complaining about).

Simon will be able to correct me where I have gone wrong, he works in the dark most of the time and must be an expert at Iso's

Your right!!!

Nope, just the top 3!!! For 3 months my D200 never saw less that ISO1000!!!!

I had to just check mine ;)
& mine is on 100, i take it that is FINE???
or should i change it.

Baz, ISo just relates to light sensitivity. The lower the number the less sensitive it is, but the less "noise" is observed.

If you cycle the quality round you go from Raw to fine, etc.

Your right!!!

Next step world domination!!!

I ended up buying my 300D and never thought I would understand any of the dials or settings but have slowly got the hang of it, just need to get composition right now :lol1:

just need to get composition right now :lol1:

You and me both mate!!! and for me its being the hardest bit to learn / master.

also something to do with the size of the picture. reduce the size and they'll look better. the higher the iso, the more grainy they'll look when you blow them up.

thanks guys, understand now - more tinkering :D :D

one day i will get an SLR but need more practise to justify it!!!!

i'm thinking of getting some macro lenses for the S7000

they'll make a big difference. try to avoid using digital zoom. i feel it tends to make the pixels larger rather than magnifying what it's really seeing.

I agree, NEVER use digital zoom it's pointless.

I dont for that reason but used the Macro setting on the S7000 and manual focus, a lot of pics got ditched on the insect shots :(s
