sorry...off topic a bit. just bought k810.

Where to turn on image stabiliser on the camera mode? I couldn't find it.
I only found in the video mode.

Also, how to close the camera shutter? do I need to wait for a long time and it close itself? or how? because when I close the camera, the shutter still open.
Can I close it?

Thanks.

Theres no permanent stabilizer in k810, only in certain modes like twilight landscale,landscape and beach/snow mode if I'm not wrong.

I'm not sure about it. Usually close the sliding cover when camera not in use.

is it better to use or not use the stabiliser setting?


hey guyz! i thought they always give all details of how to use all camera effects in the manual and in the camera menu itself. so whats all the fuss about? Now dont tell me K850 doesnt give any clues for new users of how to use that 5MP baby. Me thinks, with all Cameras, you have to click a lot of trial snaps in varios conditions using all the effects like white balance and/or the various modes(after getting to know through the manual or menu what each paramater means) to get familiar with the cam yourself. No point in using someone else's settings without knowing what they mean or stand for. thats kinda dumb. This goes out to everybody trying to use other peoples settings. anyway, no offence to any body. Respect Brother!

No flash, iso 100, contrast/brightness adjusted using photofix

.
.
took PLANKS advise and used 100 ISO with flash and the results were stunning (very dark room)

.
.
another example (dark room with flash)

pitch black room

Just got my K850i yesterday and have read all the stuff about the flash being out of synch etc but even when I take a picture indoors in fairly bright conditions with flash on the pictures come out dark... what am I doing wrong?

the plastic cover doesnt cover the flash...theres a hole in it

For example...I've just taken a picture of a hole in the floor where I am. if I dont use the flash, the picture is perfectly bright and clear. If I switch the flash on (to illuminate whats IN the hole) its very dark indeed...

@bobby_splithead2000

so use the spot metering mode with the 'twillight portrait' profile!!
it's been said several times.

@plank:
so you recommend using manual ISO/profile instead of AUTO?
It doesnt choose the right option if you leave it on AUTO?
thanks

my english is sometimes hard to understand.................what i mean is that example ISO.100 gives awesome flash pictures & perfect to use in strong sunshine, (depending of the light), etc, etc, etc

ps...i asked 2 people (who i think get very good k850 pictures) and both said that they use the stablizer ON all time...i also use the stabilizer ON all time..(the only time it dosent mather is with flash pictures)..but landscape, portrait it works very good...
(Sony use this stabilzer in some of there digi cams, so its a good feature)

ye i know, but what im asking is..the k850 doesnt choose the right ISO setting by itself when you are making flash pictures or pictures in strong sunshine?
