bump your iso up
Photography
A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.
For god sakes! You’re taking Santa pics and worrying about quality? I’m sorry but I’ve had enough Reddit for the day.
Use an external flash / external lighting?
Use the ISO. Don’t join the “high iso is evil” cult
Flash or ISO are your options. Learn how to use a flash!
Looking at the lens line up, you’ve got a modern mirrorless camera. The drama starts at ISO 3200 or 6400 depending what you find acceptable. Even better, shoot wide open, shutter speed 1/125th and auto iso.
I generally do use auto iso but may need to adjust a bit. Thanks!
ISO should do the trick I can run my Cannon R10 up too 13k iso without near any noise.
