Canon S5 IS

I got this camera as a gift a few days ago as well. My first camera actually, aside from my cellphone camera. Taking my first steps into photography and judging from this board, I have lots to learn. This is very expensive stuff. I never knew cameras could get so expensive.

Hi all.
I just bought the above camera. Its great little unit but I have one problem. When I'm at home in the room and taking a photos all come up great. However when I aim at window (daylight) the camera shades it. I mean the view becomes darker and photo is darker too. It doesnt happen with artificial an light. How do I stop the camera from doing it.

Also do I neec a filter on the camera (ie Polarizer or UV) and which one will be a good choice.

Same trouble with mine. The S3 isn't any better when it comes to this problem.

It's not, I'm sorry to say, a problem the camera can solve. It's a case of the photographer having to learn to deal with varied lighting situations.
