i have a canon s400, i had it on manual settings maybe thats why

[j0sh]

i rarely ever use auto mode on my S400 :happy:

[Billthy]

what settings do you have turned on and off?

[j0sh]

depends on what im taking a picture of. for night shots i usually use a tripod and adjust the exposure settings by testing to see which one takes the best picture. i also set the ISO mode around 100 or 200.

i haven't used auto mode on my s400 in a while. it's strangely liberating even though i keep messing with the settings to see how stuff comes out....i forget what i have stuff set at though :(

i'm learning, i'm learning....

[j0sh]

yea i've had my s400 for about 4 months now and im still learning what looks good and what doesnt.

Billthy, from looking at your pictures it seem your S400 have a hot-pixel(dead-pixel) in the CCD, red dot(top middle) in both picture. If it's still in the warranty, you should send it to the Canon to get it fixed.

For those who just bought a digital camera, an easy way to test hot-pixel(dead pixel) is to take a photo of all white and all black object(wall, paper,...) and see if there is any miss colour dot appear in the picture or not.

A picture of the Oakland University campus while snowing. We got about a foot of snow. I took photos of me and my friends sledding later that day but they turned out barely visible. I forgot how much of a difference there is between a digital camera and the human eye. This photo was taken with a Sony DSC-U30 on VGA mode.

I've had my camera since Christmas and noticed a small blue dot on pictures, more noticable on dark ones. It comes out best if you set the exposure time to 1 second (on Canons) before the noise reduction is activated at 1.3s.

Didn't think you'd be able to get a replacement; imagined it would be like LCD screens where they say if there are x amount of dead pixels then, well, tough.

[Chrissssssss]

Billthy, are you using a tripod or holding the camera? It looks like in the darker shots you are using a slower shutter speed while holding the camera, thus blurring the picture due to the movement of your hand.

[graeme_7799]

much better billthy. but hot pixels aren't inevitable. all ya have to do is edit them if they get annoying :p

Canon G3, ISO 200, Tv @ 1/100, AWB

no way i was gonna get my 300d in, so i had my gf bring the g3. it was tough shooting because the security people kept hassling me and threatening to take my stuff. not the best shots, i had to be really sneaky about everything, and i wasn't using the lcd, so i couldn't see any of the exposure information.

i didn't touch these up in PS yet, so they may be a bit rusty. ran them through neatimage really quick, but i didn't fine tune anything.

Actually if it's still in shop warranty you can exchange it for a new one. I bought my A80 from Circuit City and found 3 dead-pixels, I exchanged it for a new one.

If you bought them from online shop, you still can get Canon to fix it under the 1 year warranty. They won't exchange it for a new one, but they will map out the dead-pixels. That's mean your camera will still have the dead-pixel, but you won't see it in a picture.
