General discussion

about the sd450 flash in indoor enviroments.

Mar 12, 2006 1:40AM PST

when i'm inside my apartment everytime i shoot it with a flash there's always a little bit of a black on the corner. Do you guys know how to fix that? And sometimes when I turn the flash off, the picture is all blurry, do you guys also know how to fix that? If you do, then can you tell me, thanks!

It's a common photog tool to add light diffusers or even more flash and lighting assistance.

Try that.

Shooting with flash........which corner has a little bit of black.

Make sure that your fingers are not blocking part of the lens or flash.

When you are shooting indoors without flash, the camera has to select a slow shutter speed to gather enough light for a proper exposure.

If you move the camera while taking the photo, you will get blurring.
Set the camera on a table or other solid support and take some photos...they will be sharp.
This is why people use tripods for indoor shots.
