Hey all,
Okay, this question is probably a stupid one-- I won't pretend it isn't. But I have gone through the Canon A1400 manual and searched online, and I can't find the answer. This came from page 46 in the manual originally... choosing a shooting mode. "Press the up button repeatedly until [live] is displayed." Okay, did that... "Press the function set button, choose live in the menu, and choose the desired option." I chose "shoot under low light" in order to try it out, because that's how I'll have to shoot some planned photos on Monday (indoor tour.) But now "low light" is the only available mode to choose other than auto, and I can't get out of it. That won't be the one I'm using all the time, because the entire day of Memorial Day ceremonies won't be outside.
When pressing the up button, the display will only switch between "auto" and "low light." There is no way to get back to "live" with all the other options (portraits, snowy backgrounds, etc etc etc etc.) Pressing the function set button with the "low light" option on only brings up a *different* options menu (low light, white balance, image brightness, drive mode, etc.) When I go back to the main screen, the "low light" option is still on and the only other choice is the auto setting.
PLEASE help me figure out how to get rid of/out of/escape being stuck with only the low light option!! There is a historic room in Portland (the Rae Room at the Wilhelm Memorial Mausoleum) where the public is only allowed in for TWO HOURS once a year on Memorial Day. This is my one chance to get photos, and I have to know how to fix this by then. People are only allowed onto the grounds of the entire MS three days a year, and I need to do research for a book. No matter how dumb this is...I CAN'T be the only person this has ever happened to with this camera.
