Why did my thread get closed?

Here is the EXIF data from the picture of the baby.............

EXIF Sub IFD

* Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/20 second ===> 0.05 second
* Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 31/10 ===> ƒ/3.1
* Exposure Program = creative program (slow program, depth of field) (5)
* ISO Speed Ratings = 400
* EXIF Version = 0221
* Original Date/Time = 2011:03:15 11:14:01
* Digitization Date/Time = 2011:03:15 11:14:01
* Components Configuration = 0x01,0x02,0x03,0x00 / YCbCr
* Exposure Bias (EV) = 3/10 ===> 0.3
* Max Aperture Value (APEX) = 326/100 ===> 3.26
Max Aperture = ƒ/3.1
* Metering Mode = center weighted average (2)
* Light Source / White Balance = cool white fluorescent (14)
* Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
* Focal Length = 630/100 mm ===> 6.3 mm

SS=1/20 probably to slow for hand held shots. You will probably need to increase your shutter speed or use a tripod. That should help your focus, I think.

Once you start a thread, the thread is no longer yours. It becomes the property of TPF, and is no longer 'yours'.

 

[EckoZero]

Tried shooting with a higher f number?

I dont know how to?
Ive got my camera manual but i dont think it has that setting?

The manual is your friend!

Olympus T-110 Digital Camera Manual - iUserManual


EDIT: Sorry - I'm sure I read that you didn't have your manual :S

[HikinMike]

Using 1/20sec is a bit (a lot) slow. Not sure if you can set it to manual and bump the shutter speed to at least 1/250. You may have to increase the ISO as well. You also have a WB problem too.

Hope this helps.

Have you ordered the new camera yet? You should probably check to see if it has those features before you do!

Dam, this thread is growing so quickly I had to look and make sure it wasn't started by Erose!!!

Alas, I am not that clever. :lmao:
