Getting The Most Out Of My Camera

[goofyonenvb]

Hello all,
I have been reading this board now for the past month or so and have gotten some great insight especially with regards to shooting at WDW. The question I pose to the group is this: I have a Sony DSC H-9 which is a pretty good camera for me. Not sure what category it falls under but I think it still qualifies as a point and shoot. It has a lot of features DLR features though that I am slowly learning about, but would like to learn more about not only the ins & outs of the camera (which is why I am reading the manual) but taking good shots with this camera in regards to the setting available to me. If anyone also owns this type of camera or knows about it I'd love to hear some great tips. I have been playing with the setting and features and am getting better, but just want to be able to use it to it's max capability. Our trip to Disney is a little more than a week away and would like to be up on it as much as possible. Maybe I can post some sample pics and see what everyone thinks. Not sure the minimum amount of posts before I can post pics though. Thanks in advance!

My tip for best disney photos.... leave the family behind! Boy did I have fun when DW brought me with on the trip with her two high school choirs. I had hours and hours to practice and have fun.

Other than that I suggest shooting in aperture mode (where you control the depth of field) and let the camera do the rest. Then check the histogram (if that model has one) to check the exposure. Reshoot if needed and adjust the ISO as well.
