Best settings for a Bridge Camera?
Okay so i've got a fujifilm s6800 and want to get the best image that i can out of it
Set it on a good tripod, because without it you will never get a fast enough shutter speed at the long focal lengths, unless you turn up the ISO, revealing how noisy the tiny little sensor can get.
First, there's no one setting for all situations. That's why there are several selections of various settings (aperture, shutter speed and ISO). Maybe you need to start down the path of learning for photography.

As a place to start, put it in Aperture priority, go to its widest setting (smallest number) and start shooting. You will learn to vary the depth of field if you take the time to learn.
All of your answers are in the manual. If there were one best setting for all situations, then there would be no need for different settings. Read the manual.
There's no one-size-fits-all setting. Every photo is different - different level of light, different contrast, different subject matter, moving subject, stationary subject etc etc etc. That is why the camera has variable settings - to allow the user to adjust it to get the best image in the conditions.
Bridge cameras have a set of commonly used catch-most settings for sport (ie moving subject), landscape etc. Read your manual for a description of those available on your camera and select the most appropriate.
Auto everything!
It increases the chance of you getting lucky.
Impossible to answer! Each photographic situation demands its own settings. Daylight. Close up. Landscapes. Gloomy days. Indoors. And so on.
Read your instruction manual; that will give you loads of information.
For right now and until you understand exposures and how aperture & shutter speed settings affect the look of the image, I'd keep it either in AUTO or use one of the scene modes.
Your technique for taking pictures is also critical, especially with the huge zoom on your camera. The camera has a whopping crop factor of 5.62. Keep in mind that in order to hand hold the camera, your shutter speeds must be the reciprocal of your focal length x 5.62. For example: Shooting at 100mm, you must have a shutter speed of at least 1/500th of a second. Your camera's anti-shake function will allow you to get about 1-2 stops slower than that, but that only takes care of your hand movement and not the movement of your subject. So a photo of a tree on the hill can be done handheld w/ image stabilization, while you'll have problems with action shots at the same focal length even with IS on.
Keep your ISO as low as possible to get the best out of your camera. Avoid shooting above ISO 400. The super small sensor with the small pixels on your camera has the same image quality as the camera found on an iPhone. The camera on an iPhone can be purchased on eBay for $13. There's a reason why you got so much for so little.
When taking pictures, keep your feet spread out just beyond the width of your shoulders. Cradle the camera in your left hand, and grip it with your right. NEVER hold the camera with out-stretched arms like those using smartphones. You must keep your elbows close to your body at all times. This isn't a smartphone, and you're not doing the Funky Chicken dance, so keep your elbows in otherwise you'll introduce way too much camera shake and get blurry pictures.
- Which camera is better: An old General Imaging x500 Digital Camera or an iPhone 7 front camera? It looks like an iPhone only offers 7 MP while this camera boasts 16 MP but this camera is so old and looks worse at least on its own screen. I'm confused
- What settings will it change if I press reset all settings on my iPhone? Also, will this help speed up my iPhone because that's what I've heard. Because my iPhone has been so slow lately and taking like 3-5 minutes to send 1 text. If you know of any other ways that could help speed that up please also let me know that.
- What is the best bang for your buck video camera for retro style filming at 24 fps, 4K resolution, and no camera judder? Below $1,250? I use an anamorphic adapter lens for an iPhone 6s Plus(+filmic pro) and while the footage is 10 times better than basic iPhone footage, I can't help but notice the jerkiness of edged objects at 24 frames even when I'm holding the phone as still as I can. I've experimented with different frames, shutter speeds, ISO
- What gives better quality of a picture: Iphone 4s camera or normal digital camera? Please need an advice soon thank you guys I've gol Olympus u1060 it has 10 megapixels and i'm not a fan actually of this camera
