    Help with Canon A80!

    But if I need an external flash fixed on to take a normal indoor picture like that, doesn't it say a lot about A80's capabilities? I don't remember my cheap fuji digi cam having such a problem... Even if I were to try increasing the flash, I can only do that in Manual mode... doesn't that...

    Help with Canon A80!

    Starry, I don't think it works that way does it? I thought when AiAF has focus locked, it has already calculated the distance and metered the correct DOF. Moving the AiAF frames to the correct subject after focus locked will still yield a wrong focused image won't it?

    Impossible mate. F8 for indoor shots on my camera using different shutter speeds all yield the same effect - super dimmed shots. So far, F8 has only worked well for me in outdoors when the sun was glaring.

    Help! Anyone can recommend a good local online photo printing service?

    Really? That's cool! I was having the impression that they charge for postage. So does it mean there's no minimum number of photos before they provide free postage?

    Help!

    Hey thanks guys... I learnt quite a bit from your respective comments. I'll go try my A80 later and let you know if it works. By the way, it seems to me that using A80 is no longer a point-and-shoot camera... as I'll even have to manually adjust the aperture value just to take a simple group...
