thx lots
i
used the ISO-200 setting on my camera instead of auto according to
my photog fren's advice. also, if u haf battery life to spare, turn
on ur histogram on ur display tt will give u a spiky graph. try to
keep most of the graph in the middle instead of at the 2 ends cos
if tt happens ur pic is over/underexposed. also, try to manually
set the white balance instead of using auto since ur pictures wont
look yellowed or anyth. pics shdnt be underexposed cos its pretty
bright. most of the booths have a lot of white in them. u can try
the flash+ambient light setting if the pic is still too dark but
make sure ur hand is steady for tt. but i din use flash more the
pics i posted here.
oh and i turned my lcd brightness all the way to minimum. save
battery plus if u look thru lcd it wont be so bright cos lcds tend
to make the pics seem brighter than they rly are so when u transfer
to com its all messed up. hope this helps i'll ask him for more
advice for u n i'll tell u asap. haf fun at the show.

i took the first pic without flash but it was too dark. took the
2nd pic with flash + ambient light, much better but had a bit of
the flash bounce off the perspex. btw tts the renesis rotary engine
