Hey guys, first-time poster here. :)
I have a question about working on low-lighting conditions with my Canon PowerShot Digital Elph S200. I've had this camera for almost a year, and it works very well, but I always seem to have trouble taking good pictures in low-light environments.
I attended a colleague's concert recently, for example, and had to work with the flash turned off. Almost every picture I took ended up slightly blurry. It looked almost as though I had jostled the camera, but I was holding it as level as I could, propping my arm on the armrest to steady myself.
What are the best shutter or other settings for working in low-light like this? Are there any special techniques I should follow to get clear, crisp images in darker lighting? I have a tripod, but often it's inconvenient to set up for quick shots or in places like the concert I mentioned above.
I've posted this both in the Small Compact forum and Talk About forum. I hope the cross-posting is okay because I wasn't sure in which place this post would best belong.
Thanks very much in advance!!
