Tea pot...
...and a cup. I had difficulties to decide which camera function to test for the Sunday Challenge, to use a camera setting one has never before used. I had two choices. Either I use 'Full auto' or 'Low light'.
'Full auto' has a disadvantages of not giving almost any manual adjustments. Only the electronic flash could be turned off. Things important to me, like EV correction, are disabled. Good thing is an automatic macro and a 'Multi-segment' metering, which makes shooting of something like flowers very quick. EDIT: Example on 'Full auto' image here www.ipernity.com/doc/serola/33107663
'Low light' mode on Canon G12 allows to use very high ISO 12800, which is +2 EV more than normally (ISO 3200). Disadvantage is the picture size reduced down to 1824x1368. I was very skeptic first, especially because the reduced image size makes it somewhat impossible to make decent prints. But since this is only a hobby to me, I decided to try what the 'Low light' mode is worth for.
I immediately noticed two things. I was able to use ambient light and shoot without tripod, and then I got an interesting graininess into shots. This somewhat took me back to 2010 when I used 3MP mobile phone camera, and tried to find what it is good for.
There are certain subjects where the graininess looks good. This is one example of it. It kind of ages the image a little, and gives a nice dreamy touch.
And here are the camera specs for this shot:
ISO: 12,800
Aperture: 4.00
Shooting Mode: Low Light
Shutter Speed: 1/125
Post processing: None
