Pretty easy. Just shoot at widest angle which is 36mm and at ISO 400 at f1.8 wide open. Don't even think of zooming in. Set to aperture priority mode and can be handheld.
Used to own a 5050, forget about ISO 400 and above
Your camera has a F1.8 lens
use ISO 200, use a tripod to avoid camera shake
and use the slow flash mode to shoot.
Well i used to own one too... Set it to Aperture priority (F1.8) and preferably use a tripod would be sufficient. The noise(sound) generated from the lens focussing was kinda scary at first. Hehe. Cheers!
Set to tungsten WB lor. I think sometimes bo bian, must buy a cheap $40 autothyristor flash so that you can bounce (the C5050 has hotshoe) or shoot without flash. Direct flash really makes table group photos look funny as the table usually is quite white and reflective and so the foreground looks all washed out.
