First time poster... long time reader. This is a Great forum. The S2is sticky is wonderful reading. Needless to say my Sony D8 vidcam is for sale once I saw the quality of the MPEG encoded files burned on to a DVD that I acquired off the S2is avi mode (640x480x30) ... Sweet stuff.
I've been experimenting with the M, Av and Tv modes, indoors, no flash, shooting under a 300w single light source. Small room, den, about 15x10. I've also done a few shots under the SCN/indoor mode. A few thoughts / questions:
In the Av mode, iso 200, with f set to 3.x the shutter is trying to go down to 1/4 and 1/6 seconds. Although some shots seem clean most a rather blurry when I review the computer. This is with adjusting exposure compensation to -1/3 -2/3 and -1
In the Tv mode, iso 200, set to 1/10 to 1/15 the shots seem a tad too dark but are rather clean. M mode seems to provide the best settings; F3.x and 1/15 but the exp compensation jumps way down to -1 2/3 and -2.
What has been you best indoor settings under regular lite... no flash?
iso200(max), F4(min), 1/15s(min), exp comp threshold -2/3
How low do you let the exp compensation fall. max -2/3?
Appreciate any feedback on your favorite indoor, no flash settings.
