I am no expert with digital cameras, but make sure you take photos away from windows ..have the windows behind you otherwise the light coming through the windows will drown out the subjects being photographed ..a medium setting might work ..wish I could provide more info ! ..try using flash on every photo ..auto is okay, but I prefer to use flash continuously ..it helps to eliminate shadows under bright sun light conditions ..good luck ! !

Good question! Go into the settings and adjust the flash to Auto, check other settings and adjust accordingly this may be a try and adjust type mine came out of the box shooting good pictures of good quality

Try using natural light as much as possible. Flash lighting will always give a less natural effect. If you must use the flash, try turning on most of the lights in the room to help fill in the shadows. Also, extreme close-ups will not focus properly and will produce a blurred effect. Make sure you're at least three feet from the subject and that the auto-focus has had time to function. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

So far I have not had a problem with the flash. However, most of the photos I have taken have been landscapes with good lighting so the flash hasn't been used all that much. Sorry I haven't anymore info and good luck.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

No I would say that is not normal at all. It does have a lot of plastic parts but overall this is a nice camera. I think you should return it and get a replacement or money back.

The lights are at 3200k which is warmer than daylight. Set your color balance for the shoot and all should be fine. Should you have a mixed daylight plus these lights and feel there is too much yellow to your liking, simply pull out some yellow in edit. I am satisfied with these lights.

I have not actually not used this camera for a long time. I couldn't really tell you. I still have it & liked it just have not had reason to use it for some time now. I would actually need to play with it a bit now just to get used to it again myself. Sorry can't really help.

Hi Joel, i re-read what other people say about this cam..pls read Vance Marshall's comments too, it sums up what poorly it does. the touch screen is not as responsive. it doesn't function in indoor low lighting..its program robot kept focusing in low light, in fact won't do the job afterall. i didnt return this cuz the hassle of returning + it's only a hundred bux..i tried it in well lit indoor, the resulting photo was grainy. i know what im talking about cuz i also own a D-90..this is only CUTE AND TINY..is all..not for a real photographer..i bought another coolpix before = S3000 cuz of Ashton Kutcher commercial..that sucked too! i gave it away..the only reason i kept buying Nikon is bc the big dslr's are good..aside from D90 i have a d5100.. this sounds ridiculous telling i have cameras..i am just comparing the cool pix to dslrs..hope this helps!

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

Sorry, wish I could help you, I'm kinda a novice about picture taking myself. I suspect it is a lighting problem concerning shutter speed or an exposure problem. You should have it checked by a friend with good camera expertise.

That has not been my experience. I shoot JPEG and the colors seem natural. I have had to adjust white balance on indoor shots in mixed light more than the Canon DSLR it replaced though. Overall a great camera!

Ditto to J. Kim, photos always look good on the tiny (well compared with an LCD monitor of course) screen, you can at least ZOOM in on the photos to check out the noise factor, check it against what ISO the shot was taken in. Under the law of physics, there is really no way a 1/1.7" sensor can produce images that are on par or better than an APS-C sensor. Although they may look close. Thanks Grandpa Bill, for your comment. With that said, I almost laughed out loud when someone told me he could take a picture from the 8-megapixel iPhone just as good as a DSLR ! !!! LOL! I am still laughing ! ; ) Ditto to J.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

I've had the camera for almost a year but haven't played with it much just been busy. I did however take some pictures of my rings and if taken on certain settings and no flash the photos were fine and looked good. Not sure off the top of my head what settings. From what I have done with the camera I LOVE it. I'm a beginner with this whole photography thing and the pictures turn out great.

My pics are the best I've ever been able to produce, they are excellent... something is wrong with your setting, I'm sure... I absolutely love this camera... posted several remarkable pics and videos on FB on my 5 week vacation in the tropics which I have just returned from!!
