Rick44 Posted December 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2011 After returning my Vivitar camera, I decided to fork a little extra and get a Nikon Coolpix S3100. I saw someone's pics on the forums with that camera and I read reviews, liked the price, and bought the camera. It's a great camera. I need to adjust to the menus and scene selectors, but all in all it's wonderful. Here are some pics from the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

error46146 Posted December 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted December 8, 2011 I dont have that camera, but based on what ive read i think it might have a Program mode (P)..use that instead of the scene selectors. you can manually set the ISO in those modes to get better pics in certain situations (mainly night/underground) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick44 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted December 9, 2011 I just found it today, after reading the manual. What settings are best for underground shots and outside shots for trains? I have the ability to set an ISO of 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, or 3200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted December 9, 2011 Share #6 Posted December 9, 2011 The lower the iso the better. This is why slrs are better, a slr like is limited. Slrs you can get lenses for night shots with an aperture of f/1.8 or lower that lets a lot of light in without raising the iso too much. In your case an iso between 80&200 will do, any higher you will get grainy pics. If you can play with the aperture on that cam try that also.
