Hi there,

Just got myself a new P5100. Was wondering if there's any specific settings that i could use to start with in order to :-

1) Take CNY Decorations at night... You know those lighting decorations.. etc? Is there any specific mode , (ie.. ISO 100/200... , FLASH AUTO, MODE?) that would make the pictures taken come out to be more nice?

2) Take skyline photos...at night too.. Sometimes in the day..


Any recommendations?

There is alot of setting that you can use depending on the effects that you want. A tripod is a must for the slow speed. You can use a flash to act as fill in too.

Always use lowest ISO for best quality.


For still life ( object dun move ) , use slow shutter or long exposure to capture the object with ambient lighting. Of course recommend to use a tripod.

For camera settings, use small aperture for wider DOF and shutter release cable or timer mode to prevent unnecessary movement for long exposure.
