Night shot with Canon 870 or Ixus 860


This is the night shot with Canon 870 or Ixus 860.


The first image with ISO 800, exposure time 0.3333 sec. The second image with ISO 1600, exposure time 0.167 sec.


It can be seen that ISO 800 (the first image) has limited noise, enough detials (the human siting at the revier side). And no hand shaking, blur image or out of focus.


While the first two took with manual ISO setting. The last image is taken with the "night scene" functions. I find that it always fix the ISO to be 250.


Unfortunately, in this case, only light can be seen, and many details information are lost.


I will show more night shots in the upcoming post.
