SubscribeFor those having trouble with noise on indoor shots I recommend using the “indoors” setting. This is very easily accessible on the dial and does yield significantly better results than “auto” or “easy,” so when my camera is just sitting around the house waiting for the dogs to do something cute that’s where Canon PowerShot SX200IS set (see exception below though RE: low indoor light).Macro is a little tougher to find (you have to be in the “P” mode on the dial or the foliage scene mode), and while the manual says you can’t use zoom past the area that will show yellow in the zoom bar on the screen, in my experience you can’t zoom at all in macro without blurring your shots. But once you figure that out, the macro works great.The zoom is also outstanding. I took a picture of a building across the river (approximately a half mile) and I was able to magnify the image on my computer enough to read the lettering on the building before the image got too pixelated. Will try to post this. The only disappointing images I’ve had have been in low light using the indoors mode. But I’ve gotten good results indoors in low light using the “auto” or “easy” modes. On the other hand, I’ve had outstanding results with backlit subjects. I took a couple pictures of my husband and dogs outdoors with the sun behind them that came out great. Then at a party I took several pictures of people sitting inside in front of windows; it was early evening in late May and still very bright outside. Not only did all the people come out great, but in several pictures the scenery visible through the window also came out great, which I find pretty amazing.
