[Jayan]

Some random shots using the Olympus C-2100UZ:

Suntec City as view from Marina South, 4 sec, F2.8, ISO 100.

Shenton Way cityscape, 4 sec, F2.8, ISO 100.

Fountain in Botanic Garden, 16 sec, F2.8, , ISO 100. Very 'noisy'.

Jayan,

w.r.t the fountain at the botanical gardens, increasing the ISO level (to say 400) and reducing the shutter speed might reduce some of the noise level.



tried a shot like that once at Capitol Building (the one with the 'floating' balls along shenton way).

Cannot lah, @ ISO 400 any exposure more than a few sec looks as if snowing blue snow.....

sorry to ask you something ... did u use remote control to trigger the shutter ?

C2100uz/C700uz dun have good night focus ability. I usually can't get my auto-focus to work properly at night.. Have to use manual focus.

When shooting landscape at night...use manual focus and set to infinity.

Shooting portraits should be no problem cos the AF assist should take care of that (provided the subject is within range).

None.

Earlier and latter batches of C-2100uz has slightly diff components from diff suppliers...so gotta re-prog the firmware.
