Keep your camera on ISO 400, that's a good middle-ground ISO that is the most flexible ISO. The sensor is key for getting good shots at those higher ISO values, with better sensors, you can keep it on ISO 800 or up and still be happy with your shots. <br> <br>One thing that may help is shooting in RAW mode if you are ever able. One of the big flexibilities RAW allows is exposure compensation after the shot. That helps you shoot at a lower ISO and lighten the shot greatly after the fact without the additional noise.

I have realized Fuji has a lot of noise problems. At the same ISO setting, I have seen Canon / Nikon produce crystal clear images. <br> I have stopped going beyond ISO 200. Further more, if you shoot in Raw mode, you can often correct underexposed images. <BR> But you are right. Overall, in Fuji, it is a big pain to change the settings. For instance, in the manual mode, changing the aperture setting is sheer torture. Given this state, I am now seriously thinking of investing in Canon EOS 350D. :))<BR> Cheers,<br> <a href=http://sumit.pixyblog.com/ rel="nofollow">Dhar</a> Anand,

If the latter you should be able to use a deconvolution filter. The former''s tricky of course. Is it subject motion or camera motion you”re trying to recover from?
