chrischris Posted June 16, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted June 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, Â I'm new to photography in general. Â I've just bought a Leica D-Lux3 but I'm quite disappointed of the quality of my pictures taken during parties(people at a restaurant table), concerts and generally speaking "indoors"... Everything is blurry or over noisy in automatic mode. In "program mode", I'm trying to stay between 100and 200 Iso otherwise I find the pictures super noisy. I don't want to use a tripod or task people to stay still for 5 seconds... Â I'm sure it's my fault because I've seen great concert pictures taken with a D-LUX 3. Â Could somebody point to a good basic book or website tutorial about how to take those kind of pictures happen with my camera? Â thanks a lot!

beneath Posted June 26, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted June 26, 2007 Chrischris, Â You don't mention in your post if you're averse to using flash, but if your subject is relatively close, like in a restaurant, the flash will get you the exposure you want. This camera takes surprisingly good flash pictures. Â Concert lighting is typically a lot brighter than what you'd find in a restaurant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterv Posted June 26, 2007 Share #3  Posted June 26, 2007 Chris, try this:  put your camera on manual: white balance: tungsten aperture: f2,8 (only wide-angle) shutter: 1/30 (or even 1/15) ISO 100 or 200 Hold the camera still while releasing the shutter Take lots of pictures  Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrischris Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted July 9, 2007 Hi again, thanks a lot for your answers! Â I wanted to avoid using the flash as much as possible because I was looking for something more natural. Â Peter D Lux 2's tip is really helping: starting with the setting he gave me and playing with aperture and shutter... it gives way better results than the automatic mode! I'll keep on experimenting with that! Â thanks again to both of you for your help... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted July 10, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted July 10, 2007 indeed if it has 'auto iso', avoid it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
