My first post here, just joined up.
I've had a PowerShot SD750 for a few years now and taken several hundred pictures. I like to get outdoors and travel (when I can) and find this camera perfect for that. I use the auto settings pretty much ALL the time. I guess I use it as a point and shoot.
Anyway, I wonder if I might be able to get more effective pictures by using the manual setting and playing around with the camera a bit more. I wondered if any of you who use this camera are able to get better pictures by bypassing the auto settings and using it in manual mode?
I guess I was hoping for some tips, things you do that tend to bring better pictures out of your PowerShot. I am not a camera expert, to put it lightly, but if I could learn even one trick/tip/bit of advice that might better my pictures, than this post will have been worthwhile.
I do love the camera but I'm not usually blown away by my picture's detail. I guess I'd just need a more expensive, high-resolution camera to get the sort of great detail I might like. The auto-zoom is better than nothing, but any large zoom of course leaves my pictures less than sharp.
Also, I very rarely use the flash, I turn that off. Most of my pics are in light anyway. The flash generally gives my photos a very artificial look, I just don't like it.
So, anybody who's read this far, I would greatly appreciate any tips of how you get the most out of your SD-750 or comparable camera. Hope you don't mind me asking. :)
