Hi I need some serious camera help from a camera pro if possible. I own a Canon Power Shot A80. I have the zoom lens attachment for macro shots. I don’t really know a lot about what camera settings should be set at for optimum photos. However I do know that when I take Macro shots the imperfections of the picture quality really show.
The camera on Auto takes better colored photos then I could ever achieve by myself, but it stinks at focusing. I decide to focus the camera in another mode like Av or M and then I get terrible colored photos with much better focus.
The first picture is a close up look of a tort taken with Auto mode. As you can see the coral has smooth looking colors. The second picture was taken with a manual mode and as you can see it has pixilated red dots and so on.
Also is there any way to take true colored pictures with actinic / blue lighting? It’s like the camera drowns out all the coral colors when I take pictures with just actinic / blue T5s on. Another thing I noticed is the camera only focuses in concentrated areas of the photo leaving the rest of the picture mostly blurry, Is there anyway to expand the focus area.
I’m starting to think that this camera just doesn’t have what it takes to get the job done. Does anyone know if the SLR cameras can take true colored and focused pictures with and without actinic lighting? I take like a thousand pictures before I get one that looks somewhat decent. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
