Hi All,
I have recently started trying my hand at photography. I have started with a nice Fuji bridge camera as i didn't feel confident to go full DSLR just yet.
I purchased a HS30 EXR, i am getting on ok with it and have managed to get some cracking out door shots. However.... indoor shots are still problematic.
Whenever i try to take pictures of moving subjects i get blurry photos all the time. I have tried shooting with Auto, M, A, S and P with mixed results. I have tried playing around with ISO, Aperture, and shutter speed.
I managed to get some OK'ish pics by playing with the shutter speed but they were too dark, i increased ISO and played around with Aperture with no luck.
I think it is more me than the camera but any help would be useful.

Thanks

Damian
 
Hi there and welcome :)

Try posting some examples so we can see what the problem is.
 
Hi, thanks for getting back so quickly and the welcome.
Heres a couple of examples but i have many more lol.




Thanks

According to the camera's exif data, the first image was shot at using portrait mode, iso 400, f3.5 and shutter speed of 1/4sec. Ideally you will need it to be 1/100+ to avoid any movement but this will reduce the amount of light entering the camera. I would put the camera in manual, set a shutter speed of 1/100sec, iso 400 and let the flash do its job, try and bounce the light if you can.
 
Thanks for the info,. i will try on those settings and let you know how i get on.

Thanks again.
 
the limitation is light.
so if you have not a lot of it indoors, then you have to balance aperture, shutter speed and ISO
high ISO is more sensitive to light but noisier
wider apertures let more light in but decrease your depth of field and can affect sharpness
shutter speed needs to be 1/60th or faster, as suggested 1/100th if possible.
so if you don't have enough light, then you need to introduce some with the flash.
if that's to harsh you can always get a diffuser from ebay to mount in front of the pop up flash to help you out

if that's not an option, try a higher ISO which you find acceptable (not too much noise) and then A mode, get the lowest possible aperture number (wider) and see what shutter speed you can get

bridge cameras are typically a jack of all trades, in a neat convenient package which means that they don't be as good as a camera using a dedicated low light lens with no zoom capability

Thanks for the info. i really do appreciate it. I will keep plugging away and see how i get on. I am starting to learn that there are now one time settings for every shot!
