Table 1-3 describes what setting you should use depending upon the
light conditions of your picture.
Indoor When indoors, select either Tungsten or Fluorescent in your
Light Condition setting:
• Bright light from a window can make your picture appear too
dark. The quality of indoor pictures taken during daylight hours
can be greatly improved by providing as much ambient light as
possible.
• Placing your subject in front of a bright window will leave them
silhouetted against the bright light. In most cases, the light often
appears too bright and your subject appears too dark.
• Take advantage of indirect, ambient light from lamps, overhead
lights, or candles instead.
