This was taken on a recent vacation. I handed my G1 to someone else. It was in aperture priority, I think 800 ISO, burst mode.
We actually got 3 shots and none of them really turned out. Exposure time ended up 1/6 [ed -- actually it was 1/20] of a second (this was already a stop underexposed). This and one other one came out blurry.
The last shot was less blurry, but two of us were blinking, so I didn't like that one either.
[At first I forgot to mention that this is shot at f/1.7 with the 20mm, so I cannot open up the aperture any.]
To me the obvious possibilities are:
1. Move up to 1600 ISO
2. Set EV to 2 or even more stops under
3. Get an Olympus with IBIS
4. Figure out a good way to use flash without the harshness: off-camera? bounce card?
You guys may know of some others. At least I hope you suggest some of the tradeoffs involved, and what's most likely to help for a picture like this.
Is there a shutter time rule for people photos at that distance? Knowing that might be a good start.
