Hi all, recently moved from a Sony F707 to the Canon 300D. I'm very impressed with the camera but I have one small niggle maybe you can help me.
When shooting in full Auto mode without flash, the pictures seem to come out a little dark, this is easily fixed once I get the pictures onto the PC, anyone know a quick fix?
Also does anyone know if it's possible to force the flash 'ON' when in Auto mode?
Thanks, Dave. |

Why not shoot in "P" mode? You have more control over the settings.
I never tried the "auto" mode though :) |

In AUTO (not P) the flash will pop up when the camera feels it is necessary. You can pop the flash whenever you want in any mode but auto by pressing the button with the lightning bolt on the left side of the camera (if it's in the same place as the 10D).
Also, exposure compensation may be more what you are looking for. The tutorial on exposure may help you.
What type of subjects were you shooting? Do you have any examples you can show?
Also, flash tends to produce harsh lighting. If natural light is available use P mode and exposure compensation.

the LCD display seems to be a bit on the bright side compared to the photos.
use the histogram when viewing them on the LCD to get an idea of the exposure - dont rely on the LCD.

The type of photos I'm talking about are normally outside, the camera seems to take the bright sky as it's exposure level.
I will try experimenting with the 'P' mode as suggested.
Thanks all for your comments.

If there's a lot of bright areas in your photo the camera's meter will be fooled and expose for that. Check out the tutorial on exposure.
