Hi all,
Is there an option somewhere to decrease the ISO setting on the W800i model? Currently, I have factory settings, which seem to be ISO 800 (I barely go over 100 on my Canon digital camera). This produces waaaaay too grainy photos. And all I want is to be happy with my 2.0 Mpx camera 
Thanks for your answers.

I'm not sure it's possible, but here's the way to remove "grainy" stuff.
U can use "Noise reduction" in every photo editing software.
There is a small program called "Noiseware Community Edition", which perfectly removes noises.
Dowload it here

If some can make nice photos, i.e. http://www.flickr.com/photos/etaab/45543229 with their cameras (camera k750i=w800i), I want to hear direct experiences. No workarounds.

Yup etaab has some sweet photos indeed, but look at all that Daylight!!! Pure SUN! set to automatic or even with daylight setting and your all good. just press the shutter button half way so the green dot shows up on the screen first for a second; then BAM all the way down and you've got quality photos. Full 2MP resolution definately helps too. |

You're right, Amigo. I did some experiments with setting to Cloudy (painting in my living room) and Night settings (cornflakes box in my dark kitchen ). The results are definitely better than 'Auto' settings. Also, controlling the white balance (by moving the joystick prior to taking the shot) is giving some good results. It would have been a better solution to set the ISO manually beforehand, though, but with a little training will do just fine. Thanks for all your hints.

the iso is automatically set by the camera depending on the exposure and whether the light or night mode are in use.
If you want low iso in certain circumstances, then you might have to accept an under-exposed picture (decrease exposure value to decrease iso), or a blurry photo (use night mode to reduce iso), or use the camera light (also decreases iso).
In my tests, White Balance didn't have any affect on iso.
Test Results
Normal (white balance auto):
-2EV ISO 640
0EV ISO 800
+2EV ISO 1600
Night mode (white balance auto):
white balance setting has no effect when night mode is used
-2EV ISO 320
0EV ISO 800
+2EV ISO 1600
Night mode and light:
0EV ISO 200
White Balance (0EV, night mode off):
Auto ISO 800
Daylight ISO 800
Cloudy ISO 800
Fluorescent ISO 800
Incandescent ISO 800
