| Vintage looking crappy picture. You'd swear this was taken in 1972! |
I had quite a challenge yesterday as I was invited to my Son's place to celebrate New Year's eve. His apartment is very badly lit and it was going to be a challenge even for the G12. It's low light capacity is very good compared to its predecessors but still.
 |
| The image is still surprisingly crisp for the lighting condition. No tripod or flash. |
First off white balance was hard to establish and I never got the setting right. I had to go with high ISO (800) to get some kind of decent shot without a flash. This high ISO rating brings out a lot of noise on the image.
 |
| Using the onboard camera flash on manual setting. |
The best setting turned out to be black and white in manual mode with a set zone focus and flash. I like the vintage look of it enhanced by the 1:1 square format that brings back memories of 120 film 6X6 images. I guess I'm in a black and white phase right now. Don't know why, I just love it.

| The additional lighting present in the kitchen shows here. Same settings as previous. |
 |
| The closer the subject to the flash, the better. Same settings as previous two images. |
Thanks for watching.
Gerry :)
