(P850) tomatoes/cobalt glass shots improved.

I just took more pictures with the P850, I adjusted the ISO to 200, macro mode, WB is now incandescent etc. Much better pictures than the first set of P850 photos. I had never tried the macro mode on the P850, the scene modes, yes, but had not explored the menu enough to remember where the macro mode setting was.

No wonder I haven't veered off the easy "auto setting" much w/this camera! lol, much more tweaking to get the best out of it. Added Bonus:

Some musings: I have to admit that prior to getting the a230 a few months ago, the manual setting options available on my P850 just didn't (pardon the pun) click, I just hadn't explored the possibilities, consistently. After periods of non-use, I would pick up the camera,starting from scratch again, so it was just easier to stay on the auto mode for the sure thing picture. I never for a minute thought that a DSLR could be less complicated menu wise, than my Kodak, I really didn't.

These are out of camera, non-cropped, contrast adjusted in Picasa

You said it: much improved. especially the bowl. Very nice. Thanks for reminding us what a big difference can be made with simple manual adjustments. Tom

Yes, the pictures improved a lot. The Kodak P series camera will reward you if you put some effort. Thx for sharing.
