    hey guys, i have a sony cybership dsc-w1. its a pretty nice camera, but i dont think im getting the most out of it. there are all these different picture settings- people, outside, outside with light, and like 6 more. i can change ev and all of that too, but im not sure what all of it means. one thing i want to be able to do is take an up close picture of a flower or something and have the focus just on the flower and the background all blurry. and i cant really get any good pictures at night time. anyone know what i can try? thanks!

    With my Canon A40 I use "macro" mode to get closeups. You must have a similar mode on your Sony.

    look for a little flower icon on the menu or selector dial.

    See if you can set up the camera in Manual mode and try setting the ISO to high speed. That will usually get you a night shot..but with these handy cameras, night shots arent yet mastered.
