Blurry vs. Flash

(1/4) > >>

Peter Harris:
Anyone know how to use a normal digital camera (namely, a Canon PowerShot A530) and take non-blurry pictures without the flash?  When I take outside shots with the flash on auto, it works fine without flashing.  But inside, or whenever it wants to flash, if I turn off the flash it lengthens the exposure time and unless my hands are super still (not always an option in my comic), the picture comes out slightly "smudged."

Anyone have any ideas how to remedy this?

J_Saunders:
I have no experience with cannon cameras, but a quick google search may have turned up your answer. Hope this helps!

Peter Harris:
Alas, I think the TV setting it's asking for is a feature on a higher model of the PowerShot.  Le sigh.

Thanks anyway.

My camera is a Nikon and it does that too. It's fine in brighter light, but if I'm using it with low quality lighting, if I don't use a tri-pod, it's probably going to be blurry. So it's either the lighting bothering your camera or your camera is just picky, like mine. I have no idea how to help you fix this other than suggesting a tri-pod if you can use one for whatever you're taking or setting it on something stationary.

Tripod or better lighting.

No matter how still your hands are, you're not going to take a non-blurry picture if the exposure time is greater than 1/30th of a second.
