1st pic with my SX230

[ODX]

I had a yard sale on Fri-Sat, and had some time between working and the yard sale to get a couple of pics taken, all these pics were done on auto with no flash. I'm impressed with the picture quality of this little camera. It will do what I wanted to do with it.

Well after looking at the pictures I turned the date stamp off, It took away from the pictures...lesson learned

in the first photo it can be off since it was shot in Auto mode, and in auto it can be disabled.
You should shoot in P mode and then disable the iContrast option in menu.

why? here the answer:

iContrast is a new feature that BRIGHTEN the dark area of the photo as the risk of increasing shadow noise.

• iContrast works great on PORTRAITS, by brighten a subject's face, but...

• iContrast works poorly on LANDSCAPE, by reducing BLACK to mediocre grey
