Calm before the storm

Very cool... that’s a big whale!

Paul, I got your cam's older brother, Stylus 720 SW. I've had it since the last summer.

I like how tough the camera case is. The thing seems indestructible.

I love how I can just rinse it with fresh water after fishing, and never ever have to worry about getting my camera wet.

But I haven’t been happy with the picture quality, especially in the quick point-and-shoot situations. More often than not it seems out of focus. My old Cannon Powershot was waaaaaaaaaay better for that.

The modes are probably similar in our cameras – I find “auto” mode to be the best bet for majority of situations. I only play with manual mode if I’m taking underwater shots.

The sucky thing is – my camera remembers the last setting mode it was on after you turn it off and on. And add to that that putting it back in auto mode is not as intuitive as you'd expect... I don’t like that.

Make sure it’s in full Auto mode.
