Check!

 

I don't see an 'auto' button though.

P.S.: for an idea of how to work with the camera in non-auto mode, Google the concept of 'exposure triangle'.

Sorry, auto mode is the green option on the wheel on top.

Ah, cool, thanks. Guess I've got some reading around to do.

Hi, Sorry I could not reply any ealier. I have posted some of my experiences related to photography in post #7 in the following thread: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/306537-jinhao-886-how-is-nib-removed/ Although I primarily use my iphone for pen photography, I hope you may find some ideas there useful.

In my line of work (I am a prosthodontist, which a specialty of dentistry), I also use a Nikon D80 DSLR camera with a macro lense and a iTTL ring flash. I find it cumbersome for pen photography though. In the rare instances that I would use it, I would recommend to select the "A" mode, which means aperture priority mode, that way you can get better depth of field and more crisp close-ups. You can do this with or without the ring iTTL flash. I hope that helps a little.

Sincerely,

Photios

Though lenses often benefit from being stopped down a little, I think DoF control on this 4.75 crop factor camera will be fairly limited. You might end up shooting wide open most of the time to keep the ISO as low as possible. Given its 2002 sensor any ISO bump will probably be quite visible.

The more light the better, depending on the paper you could stick it on a window with masking tape if it's sunny outside, so your paper will be back lit...
