Greetings all, newbie here w/Canon S2

[vahifi]

I need to take some photos of a large 100" video image outdoors next to a pool at night. If I use a flash it washes out the detail and contrast, but my old Olympus did ok I guess. What settings do y'all think I should start with?Tripod mount, of course.
Thanks for your help!

Find out the refresh rate and divide that by three and round it down: that is the preferred shutter speed. Usually 1/15 is good speed for TV image (50Hz), for 100Hz maybe 1/30 might do well. Adjust ISO and aperture for balanced exposure between surroundings and screen. You may need to take two exposures and combine them in PS.

Thanks Pekka, I'll try that tonight.:)
