I've downloaded mine to all my computers and devices. I can't remember if you have the Powershot SX40 or Powershot SX50, but here are the links to them both: <br />http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0/0300005730/01/pssx40hs-cug-c-en-web.pdf <br /><br />http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/download_product_manuals?pageKeyCode=noLeftNavigation#6Karen Casebeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002150769292672779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-79478597711335558482015-01-31T09:10:46.345-08:002015-01-31T09:10:46.345-08:00Well, Karen, I left that big manual for the camera...Well, Karen, I left that big manual for the camera at home (bad choice) but will explore different settings with your tips in mind. I am extremely lazy when it comes to so much as thinking about a tripod. Indoors, fine. Outdoors? I can't hold still that long!P. J.

I esp...Pamela...What a wonderful series of images! I especially love the early road shots. And #56 cow is so precious. As for high contrast photography, it's the most difficult kind of photography and a good reminder that our eyes are able to process vast contrasts more easily than the camera's "eye." Your camera probably has a HDR setting, which stands for high dynamic range, which is the issue you're dealing with. How the setting works is the camera will capture three (or five, depending on the camera) images with a range of contrasts. It will do this automatically. When you're in HDR mode, the exposure is actually quite long because you're capturing three images. Because it emulates long exposures in low light, it may be difficult to do this without a tripod. Once you've captured the HDR images, your editing program will merge them into one photo, as long as your program has that capability. Karen<br />p.s. I REALLY empathize with the terror you were feeling in the drive through the mountains.Karen Casebeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14002150769292672779noreply@blogger.com
