craybox Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hope someone can help a camera novice please. I have a Panasonic Digital Camera which has several modes for taking pictures. One of them is 'action' which can take nice sharp pictures like the following in daylight... the trouble is when i want to take indoor action shots like below. I guess it must be the internal lighting that is causing the problem what can do to improve the sharpness of the shots ? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You need to increase the shutter speed/ISO I believe. Don't set it too high though or you will have a lot of noise in your photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craybox Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 so increasing it would be up to ISO800ish then, i think i tried that and it wasnt much better but i'll try again. THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Floyd Veteran Posted November 12, 2007 Veteran Share Posted November 12, 2007 by increasing ISO setting, your camera will be able to set a faster shutter speed and "fix" the image while objects are moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janitor Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Nothing like setting the ISO high to have photos of planes with the propellors not moving :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEvan Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Nothing like setting the ISO high to have photos of planes with the propellors not moving :rofl: I think you mean shutter speed...the iso just adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor, so it can take photos in less light...setting the iso higher won't affect a shot enough to freeze a propeller in motion, unless it was at maybe iso 36000 or something. To freeze a propeller you need at least 1/500-1/1250th of a second shutter speed. Unless you're shooting planes indoors in the dark (?) most of the time outside you're gonna be shoting at either a wide aperture or a fast shutter speed cuz its gonna be bright. ISO speeds are only gonna give you a couple stops of exposure either way, so if you go from 1/125 - 1/250, you can one stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
