I just picked up my first real camera ;-) A Canon PowerShot Pro1. I experienced my first incounter with Vignetting the other day. I had no filters attached and no lens hood. Any suggestions in reducing this problem?

ND filters and polarizers can reduce vignetting.

Can you show us an example?

We need more info to offer help. What did you experience? Try backing off of maximum zoom and see if that helps.

Maybe I'm thinking of something different when I think of vignetting. But to me it occurs when the edge of the lens/ filters/ lens hood etc, encroach on the image and cause shadowing around the edges.

ND filters and polarisers can cause vignetting, particularly if they extend too far out from the lens - but I don't know that they do much to reduce it.

i think - but could be wrong - vignetting can be caused by a low/med quality lense at a longer focal length, and a wide aperture.

i have seen some shaded/darker corners from images taken with the canon 75-300mm f:4-5.6 at 300mm - f:6.3 & f:5.6

i havent noticed it with the 18-55mm efs lense

Heres a shot I took where the vignetting is more visible.

Its only on the left side but other phtoos taken at the same time had it on all corners.

I dont get this that often, im just curious as to why its happening when theres no Lens Hood or Filter attached. I also experienced it on a shot where i used no zoom. This was when the sun was low in the horizon.

You can get fall off at the corners even without vignetting, particularly in wide-angle lenses. In a normal wide-angle lens there will be a light fall of that is equal to the forth power of the cosign of the ray coming into the lens. This means that a 28mm fl lens (equivalent 35mm) would be expected to have a fall off of 60% at the extreme corners, or about 1.3 stops.

What was the fl of the lens you where using?

Here's a photoshop plugin that is meant to reduce vignetting (I can't vouch for it personally thogh):
