Digital Cameras Lightweight
July 23rd, 2007
small, digital camera with manual functions?
I’m looking for a VERY lightweight camera to take on extended backpacking trips. Can’t be adding too much weight, so I know sacrifices will be made.
I’m looking at the Canon SD600. I wondered if there were any cameras in a similar price range with similar weight where you can adjust aperture, shutter speed, etc.; I have a big film SLR camera (too big to take backpacking), so it is would be too bad to go to just point and shoot, but if that’s how it has to be, so be it.
Thanks for any advice.
The SD600 does offer some manual control It’s not TOTAL control, but you can play with EV settings from +2.0 to -2.0 in 1/3 stop increments, so it gives you a little bit of manual control.
Another way to do this on the fly is to focus on something that is the value you desire in your final exposure; press the shutter button down halfway and then also press “ISO” button (top of multiselector). This puts the camera in auto-exposure lock mode and it will hold the same exposure values until you cancel it. Recompose the shot, press the shutter button half-way so the camera re-focuses. Shoot by pressing the button fully.
The unfortunate thing is that you can’t control whether you change the aperture or shutter speed and it is not shown in the display either.
