@witchking
another version already! i can't wait to try it out!

but right now I am struggling a little bit with daytime indoor shots, where the lighting is not too strong, but not too weak.
do you have any suggestions on settings for indoor medium light shots?

thanks

A few extra hints to those who could not fully understand a few features.

I updated the first post with this info as well, but it would do well here too so that everyone reads it.


AE LOCK:

This feature generally uses some type of "switch" that locks the exposure for the shot, after the initial reading has been made.

Normally, your camera determines the proper exposure automatically, based on several factors such as the lighting conditions, F-stop, and type of metering used.

By not "locking in" the exposure, the camera will re-calculate it, based on changes to the above factors.

Why is Camera Auto Exposure Lock important?

One of the main reasons you would want to use exposure lock is when taking a photograph of a scene with significant differences is shadow, light, and contrast. Depending upon the metering mode used, your camera will attempt to "average out" the exposure for the entire photo. Normally this is great. However, not every time.

For situations where you want to emphasize a specific part of the picture, or change the composition to get creative, an "averaged exposure" just won't do. You can also manually control the exposure through exposure compensation, but using that approach is pretty much trial and error.

That is why your camera auto exposure lock (or, "AE-Lock") should be the preferred method. It is far more accurate.

Another reason to use auto exposure lock is to "freeze" or "lock in" the same exposure parameters. When and if you become interested in "stitching together" several photos to create one large panorama, you will want to lock your exposure. When AE Lock is used, all settings for aperture, shutter speed, exposure and white balance are kept identical until you unlock them.


Besides, it can help you take great panorama shots. Normally the exposure of the three sections does not seem to match each other, but with AE Lock, that bug can be overcome.



The above panorama shot was taken through a [hw]C905[/hw] using AE Lock.

------------------------------------------------------

RULE OF THIRDS:
The rule of thirds is a compositional rule of thumb in visual arts such as painting, photography and design. The rule states that an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would.

Trojan001 was kind to add a rule-of -thirds image in an IC file for C905.
Download the IC pack Final v2 here: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=196052

The image can be called to the screen by pressing the 0 button.
----------

FORCED FLASH:
This can be useful in photographing objects against a bright background. Normally that would cause the object to appear dark or underexposed, but forced flash may prevent it.
