I'm sure this has been asked a million times... how do I get everyone in focus in a group pic? I take indoor pics with no flash... window light only. It looks good on the cam but when I download it to my pc only one person is fully in focus (looking esp at the eyes)...

What should my settings be for this kinda photos?

You have to set your aperture accordingly but you are probably going to need alot more light than some window light.

Fairly small aperture ( f16 or so) and yeah, you'll need a flash +/- a reflector. If you can, bounce the flash off the ceiling.

Oh okay thanks I will have to get myself a flash... I don't like how the photo's look when using the built in flash.

If all you have is the pop-up flash, soften it by placing a bit of tissue over the flash itself. It'll soften it a bit so you don't get the "deer in the headlights" look.
