thanks in advance Turn the flash off. That's what's causing the white-out. You're giving the camera too much light and it can't compensate properly. If your close up pictures are too dark, try adding in a regular light, like a desk lamp. You may get slightly off color photos from the off-color light, but it's better than what you have now.
Use a tripod or other stabilizer for close-up photography. If your camera has a shutter priority mode, try playing around with that.
And for Pete's sake, DON'T got to Wal-Mart for camera advice. Find a Ritz or Wolf Camera in your area. The are guaranteed to have the same or lower prices than Wal-Mart, and you'll get face-to-face advice you can trust. |
