No, think its you as i seen you on some group shots posted here before.

yeah, the other user of 2100 is who ah?

Sausage · 24th February 2003

Did you get such great shots with the internal flash?
All my shots with the internal flash were only good if they were standing within a few meters of me. All others had near-black backgrounds.

Were you the c2100'er with the wideangle lens?

I use slow shutter to have a background not too dark..

The one with wideangle lens is... Magixshoe?

Sausage · 24th February 2003

I was trying to use slow shutter too, but any movement by them gave blur photos... even if it was just their mouth moving. So you were using the built-in flash only?

Yes, don't have an ext flash.. most of my shots even does not have any flash at all

as i'm too far from the stage and i know that built-in flash will only give me lag and waste my battery.

opps

the guy in specs behind me that time was sausage

and nope, i wasnt using a wide angle convertor lens

1st day: shoot all w/o flash, as what u mentioned it really lags in between shots, go home review my shots

2nd day: flash all the way!! and it turned out quite well

at least up to my expectation

maybe we c2100uz users should go shopping for an external flash setup?

i was having the idea of the original oly bracket(tried one cheapo 3rd party made, it was filmsy even wo the flash on), sync cable and a cheap 3rd party flash that can tilt

MaGixShOe · 24th February 2003

But your shots were so well exposed! Can I know the exact settings you used? Shutter speed, f stop, etc?

This is an unaltered photo I got when I used these settings.

http://www.pbase.com/image/13638312/original

ExposureTime : 1/20Sec
FNumber : F2.8
ExposureProgram : Shutter Priority
ISOSpeedRatings : 200
ExposureBiasValue : EV0.7
MaxApertureValue : F2.8
MeteringMode : Division
LightSource : Unidentified
Flash : Fired
FocalLength : 20.00(mm)

Flash was fired, and shutter was at 1/20. It's still much darker than yours.

Am I doing something wrong?

huh? 1/20s f2.8 iso200 w/ flash +0.7? still like that? any filter attached to your lens? myself got only the UV filter

1/20s is it correct? did u full zoom?

Sausage · 25th February 2003

Exactly... I'm wondering why myself. I was using a UV+polarizer, and was zoomed less than halfway. Could it have been the polarizer?

It's the polarizer. You don't use them indoor, not unless you want to cut down glares from glass surfaces.
