so i own the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N2 digital camera and i've always had the problem with faces appearing super white when taking pictures in very dark lighting (e.g. outside at night, at a club).

i've heard about playing with the settings like the exposure and what not, but i just don't understand it and i don't know what is the best setting...i've played around with it but i see no difference~ some of my friends camera's (other models) don't seem to have this problem when they take pictures with flash and they haven't played with settings or anything, but mine is like SUPER white...

is there a general setting for digital cameras for this problem?
or perhaps someone who has the exact same camera can help guide me through this? lol

thanks in advance (:

i dont think i have the exact camera...but i have a cyber shot.
try the twilight portrait setting if you have it (most cameras for a brand comes with similar settings), its great for taking pictures in the dark (clubs, etc). when you take the picture, the flash appears really strong (sometimes double flash) but you dont get white faces or anything. you just have to make sure your hand is STABLE, it blurs really easily. but it gives you awesome effects especially with lightings in the background.

Thats hard, my sony camera does let me adjust the flash mode. If you click the lightning bolt button until it is in the lightning bolt mode, you can try SL (soft light)

Otherwise.. take a few steps back or try taking pictures without flash. I know that would be difficult especially for like clubs but sometimes its worth a try.

Hrmm the above post is interesting too, I never experimented with those auto modes so definitely try those too

sometimes when i dunt like the strong flash, i cover it with my finger. its a strong flash so it'll still go through ur pinky, but not as bright.
