[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2250354, member: 423"] Some point and shoots offer more "manual" control than others. I don't know about yours. Basically, the replies so far hit it. Lighting is the most critical component to good pictures. Using a built in flash is mostly useless for quality pictures. As far as off camera lighting, if you don't have a hot shoe, you can use many different kinds of household lighting, but remember that direct lighting is the worst. The more diffused you can get it the better. Bounce it off a ceiling or through a diffuser panel (typically a thin white or light colored (grays or silvers) cloth) is better. The problem with harsh direct light is you end up with pronounced shadows on any texture on the picture subject or behind it. [/QUOTE]
