ok...after a series of test shots on my newly bought ist DL , I finally put the camera to a test for a family outing today.
went to the Dinosaur show at the Science Centre where the environment is low lighting in some places, and glare from spot lights.
I tried my hand at manual mode today. did not use any settings except auto pic setting mode. I noticed the flash tended to yield over exposed images many times. I wonder why the flash strength is not controlled according to ambient lighting.
Also, tried out manual focussing, found it was quite easy to use. Objects were focussed clearly and shot taken. Imaging to my horror when I reached home that 75% of all the shots I took were out of focus! even the ones that appear razor sharp on the lcd display.
I could have sworn the images were very clear in the view finder when I pressed the shutter. Anyone can offer any advice on this?
Thanks in advance.
