Hi All
Im using a Fujifilm S602Z here is the manual... http://www.fujifilmusa.com/shared/bin/FX-S602_Manual.pdf
I had it for many years but still cant take anything decent. Is it the camera or me? Am I wasting my time with this camera or can it take great shots and I'm just doing the wrong things? I bought it primarily to take pictures of my jewellery to put the images up online http://www.brilliantgems.co.uk/ in my eyes these are also mediocre and I'm not too hard on myself as I know silver is hard to take a picture of. But my aquarium should be easier! I have several photo modes and auto is no better, then there is SP, A,S,P and M to try!
I've tried a few settings but the images are never crisp or clear or are over exposed, or have flash in the glass, etc etc the list is endless. What am I doing wrong? Hopefully the pros out there can give me a few pointers. Here are a few examples...
no crisp focus on the cardinals, dark image but flash was used- yeah no joke! ha ha
ISO 800 F4
No flash, cant find the focus, although I used auto focus and then manual. ISO 800 F4
Am I doomed to taking rubbish images or is there hope? I know a bad workman always blames his tools but is this camera really not any good?
Thanks for any feedback
