Having difficulty in actually being able to take a shot. I set it on M, and it does move the shutter, but the results are too dark.

This zoom is a difficult one to use. Set to M, then you have to go into light settings on your menu....you have to experiment with the different shuttering by dialing thru the light exposure settings, shutter speed settings, and focusing adjustments. It is a real trial and error, but after a while the settings will begin to fall into place according to your style cameras.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

When set to M all settings are manual. You have to adjust the F stop and or the shutter speed to get the right exposure. I always start off bracketing at least two stops in either direction and then see how the image looks. Make further adjustments then once exposure is set you can just work with focus and framing the shot.

Your shutter speed is probably not correct. If you call the company, they will advise you as to correct settings. They are very helpful.

Experiment with different shutter speeds and open up the aperture. The more light you shoot in the better it will be.

Check your owners manual for the specific shutter setting for remote. After you get the right setting, you may have to try different angles for pointing the remote at the "sweet spot" on the camera.

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

Hands down, indoor low light is the most difficult for this camera. I find that using the 'action' scene mode helps alot. The picture comes out better and the flash seems to go quicker after you press the button. Since you posted your comment last October, hopefully you've found some ways to improve the pictures that you can share with us.

you can't expect to leave the camera on IA mode and have it do everything for you. Need to use manual modes to achieve the results that you want. Experiment with the manual modes and see what they do. Chances are in bright or low light situations your going to find that manual mode will get you the results you're looking for once you're familiar with the settings. Good Day mate.

Results are somewhat dependent on your camera. However, I've not had good success in low light conditions especially at high zoom settings.

I just received my manual a few days ago and haven't checked into all the camera will do. Will definitely try the action shot.

It may be that you have camera shake. 1st make sure you have the camera held firmly, do not hold it at arms length. 2ndpress the shutter button 1/2 way down and hold it there, this locks in the focus. Hold your breath and press the shutter button down the rest of the way.Another problem may be the shutter speed is too slow. 1/60th is about as slow for a wide angle shot. as you zoom out look at the barrel end see the mm on the barrel. at 200mm shot no slower than 1/200th. at 500mm no slower than 1/500th. In reality 1/500th is too slow for 500mm. I would try 1/800or higher.I hope this helps.Boone It may be that you have camera shake. 1st make sure you have the camera held firmly, do not hold it at arms length. 2ndpress the shutter button 1/2 way down and hold it there, this locks in the focus.

There is lots to consider here. Where is your ISO set? Set it higher if you can. Also, are you using a flash? You shouldn't, as that will only work for 12-15 feet and make everything beyond it look darker. If you are zoomed it, make sure that you are in optical zoom only, and not in digital zoom. There are at least a few options to try....good luck. SK

Hi,I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.

Yup. First, you need to use the Manual mode to set the shutter to Bulb (in Nikon D90, Bulb is right after the 30 sec.). Next, you push the button down and forward (toward the wire); it will hold the button down. Thanks for the question. I always thought the Bulb setting is in "A" mode but I just found out it is in "M" mode.

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

If you are using it indoors in low light, try the HD setting in the SCN mode. I did that and got a pretty good shot of an infant (no flash).

Play around with the EV. I usually keep mine at +2.0 for a lot of my low light shots. Keep in mind though that sometimes even that won't help. The auto mode sometimes help too.

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.
