Hello again everyone. I have a question regarding my camera that I just can't seem to answer for myself.
As I've said in my previous postings, I have a Canon AS590 IS. It's got a ton of features and I'm trying to learn how to use, but the one that is confusing me the most, is controling the flash.
Now, I do not use any of the preset shooting modes such as Auto, or Night Scene, Landscape, etc... I simply use the Manual mode. This allows me to adjust everything on my own, as you all well know.
While in manual mode, my LCD screen is of course, active and working, but, if I don't have the flash set to ON, I can't see anything on my LCD, and the image comes out black.
ISO is set to anywhere from 400 to 1600 (80 is the lowest, and 1600 is the highest on this camera)
Shutter speed is set to the maximum of 1/2000, but, the flash only allows 1/500, so when I do shoot, the shutter speed is automatically set for 1/500.
Apeture is set to the maximum of F8.0, as I'm trying to get both the forground and background for the time being, not sure why, but, just am
Now, I'm getting all the recommendations in my other post telling me to cut the flash off, and I couldn't agree more, but, when I do, it goes black. Even outside, during the middle of the day, I'm stilling getting black, or very darkened images, while in manual mode. Even when I set the camera up to except the most amount of light, everything still just comes out dark.
Can someone please help me with this issue? I think I could really improve if I could get this under control. Thanks in advance
