How did you insert the neat links to your Picassa Gallery? They look better than using the the full URLs that come up on the Picassa pages

When you add an URL link in your post (with wwwexample.com as the picasa album link), you have :
|URL="http://www.example.com"]http://www.example.com[/URL|

Then you can change the second part to whatever you want :
|URL="http://www.example.com"]My album[/URL|

The result is :
My album

Solomons

I'll try that now although the first part is pretty long

Ripseven,

That is so unusual! Everybody else seems to have the same experience with the shutter speed reverting back to max 1/500 right before the moment of firing and the EXIF indicates so. That is why I was so intrigued by the EXIF data on your posted images.

Is there anyone else getting the flash synch at shutter speeds higher than 1/500 on Can compacts ?

My EXIF shows 1/800. S95 in M-mode, flash on lowest setting. (This is without CHDK that will override the cam and fix the issue if wanted.)

Will test different flash settings and see if the "1/500 block" will occur then.

Thanks for Posting that Carl. Very Nice Photo!

I just tried it again. Manual Setting Canon S90 Flash set to 1/3 power and Shutter speed set at 1/1000/ When I do the half-press to get focus. On the LCD Screen, the shutter-speed will show it re-set to 1/500 and return to 1/1000 after the shot.

Does the same thing on Tv mode. I wonder if there is a menu setting that is controlling this.

Do you use you S95 with these settings regularly? Maybe the difference is my camera is an S90. I just checked and it clearly sates in the Manual on page 95 of the Canon S90 Manual.

I downloaded the S95 Manual and it does not mention the 1/500 shutter sync max. I am beginning to think there is a definite difference between the S90 and the S95 in the flash shutter sync speed.

Think you're onto something here. Remember my old A710is doing the "1/500 block" but the S95 never did it so far. Did not test the maximum shutter speed for my flashes yet but there's clearly a difference beteween 1/500 and 1/800 regarding the "blackness" of background.

This is pretty good news and maybe we should open a new thread and stop highjacking Ripsevens :blush:
