Night shots I have a S602z and a 5500 and i am not having any luck with night shots, ie street lights, buildings, general night shots, can anyone tell me what is the best setting for these camers to get the best shots, i am using a tripod.

Hi, Do not use auto position when driving at night. When driving near street light sensor will turn off lights. Use on position for night use.
Good luck.

Hello, there could be a number of problems but 90% of the problems with these Russian manufactured monoculars, binoculars, scopes is the the image intensifier tube. First they are cheaply made, they don't taken much abuse, and if any bright light such as, street lights, car lights, turn on the NV monoculars during the day light hours could and would total damage these Russian manufactured tubes.

I hate to tell you but there is a good possibility that the image intensifier tube is bad, sorry. Night Owl Optic and many other US companies use cheap Russian manufactured night vision devise to sell; of course, they make a huge profit on these NV devises.

There are a lot of countries in the world that manufacture NV monoculars and other NV devises. Some are good and most are just slap together.

If you want a good night vision monocular be prepared to pay top $$$ for them.
Made in the USA, Europe, England, and even in China.

List it on eBay as Night Vision Monocular and under condition: broken for parts.
I wish you luck. GB...stewbison

you have a dial on top of your camera. where you can find 2 types of shots. one is Night scene. and other is Night snap shot. Second one is better.
Note that even a small hand shake will spoil the subject. Use a tripod for night shotting with flash

Try Shutter Priority mode (Tv). Adjust the shutter time for an extended shot of several seconds or more. Of course, recommend using a tripod to do this, and using the camera's timer to take the shot to minimize camera shake.

Set shake reduction, if your camera has it, or else use a tripod or other support. Increase ISO so you can use a faster shutter speed and smaller aperture, for greater depth of field. Use manual focus if you can - night scenes often confuse autofocus. Finally, be prepared for a high failure rate !

I have a 2003 Ec 200 and looking to do some night riding and the current headlight doesnt seem man enough for the Job. Anyone got any recomendations ie a replacement unit or Helmet lights etc.I ride mainly at night and have a stock headlight. I used to have a 10 watt Mtn. bike headlight I would wear on my helmut but it slipped off and got eaten by my rear sprocket lost forever. A helmut light is key to riding at night so you can point to see where you are gonna go and helps when going over logs. I was able to ride a gear higher with the helmut light too. I think the next one I get will be the double light by I think is Night Sun one is 10 watts and the other is 15 watts and I'll wing nut it on to my visor this time. It would be nice to have a brighter headlight too.,,,

try adjusting the quality

• If you can manually change the sensitivity ie iso you will get better images in low light. My digital camera on auto is not good in low light but I do the above and get satisfactory images.good luck...jw
  

You can turn the LCD brightness up by using the "monitor" setting. Either that or increase the ISO setting.
