Ixus i - grainy shots in poorly lit conditions
I bought one of these recently and have been trying it out all over
the place - I've noticed however that in indoor dark and open rooms (museum galleries for instance), the resulting pics in 'auto' mode become very grainy in the darker areas of the pictures - even at the highest resolution with lowest compression. Indeed, in large (say 100~200 square metres) fairly reasonably lit rooms with high ceilings the camera decides to use the automatic flash and pictures come out extremely dark. I'm no expert in the world of digital photography, so should this be expected or should I perhaps be tweaking some of the settings manually to overcome this? |

All compact cams have quite a small sensor that gets noisy above of ISO 100 or 200. You can try to compensate with image manipulation software (Helikon Filter for example) but of course the result will never be as good as that of a full size sensor cam. Kind regards robert |
