Hey got the camera through today, first question is, what ISO setting should I use, normally I put it on Auto like a n00b and leave it there the rest of it's life.
The camera goes up to ISO 1600, but I remember reading last week that they recommend leaving it at ISO 800, any suggestions?
It has: ISO: Auto, Hi, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600

i recommend leavin it at iso 80, unless you have problems holding it still or need quick shutter speeds.

Ah righty, see I would have bunged it on 800 lmao, so you think having it at 80 with image stabilisation turned on is better then having it on Auto?

iso is the amplication of light, the higher the iso the more the light is amplified so the more noise with lesser pic quality with the higher isos the cam can use quick shutter speeds so it will avoid motion blur etc, with the lower iso pictures will be of better quality but in low-light the cam will have to use longer shutter speeds to capture more light which means motion blur etc, iso 80 should be fine for all outdoor & possibly indoor pics but if you want to catch a raindrop or fast moving cars etc, turn up the iso slightly to get a quicker shutter speed.

this should example the shows the iso pic quality well
(ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800 ... , ISO 1600)
thats from a phone camera, the digicam will be miles better but you get the idea.

Ahh nice mate thanks for that, there is quite a big difference, I was taking pics earlier on different settings to see what they would look like.
One thing I did do was put the quality to Super fine, but I then made the images smaller, they were set to: L = 3264x2448 - takes 549 pics
But I change it to: M3 = 1600x1200 - takes 1816 pics
(2gb card)
Is that an allright size to use if I'm only going to be looking at them on a computer screen and having the odd 1 or 2 printed off, or would you recommend me leaving it on the largest picture size.
Thanks mate.

digi cams resize there photos using there buit-in software, so if you set a 8mp cam to 5mp, the photo is taken in the 8mp resolution but then resized buy the cams software, it's better to use the maxium resolution then resize them yourself using photoshop or something as the built-in resizing software of digicams tends not to be very good.
