Hello Superchick: I have an earlier model of your camera, the S2 IS. It has an abundance of adjustments and these have to be used to maximize what the camera can do. Refer to the manual, maybe its the little booklet that discusses all the settings. There should be one for lighting source. The number of adjustments is limited when in the "auto" mode. Rotate the selection dial to "M" for manual, and all the adustments become available. I shoot in this mode most of the time because of these adjustments. However, one looses the automation when in the "M" mode. Find in you manual, or drill down through the camera's menus to find the adjustment for lighting. Example are, sunlight, cloudy, incandescent, flourescent, etc. The camera probably came defaulted to sunlight for outdoor shooting. The color cast of the photo is entirely dependent on the color content of the lighting source. Without adjustment, lighing by and ordinary light bulb (incandescent) will have an orange cast, and flourescent will give a strong color cast related to the phosphor of the lamps's coating. Flourescent lighting may produce a bluish, washed out result with missing reds. Light from a flourescent lamp is strong in narrow color bands and may be missing other colors entirely. It is usually a poor source for photography. The built-in electronic flash give a blue-white light. Its effect is determined by how much of the light came from the flash and how much came from other sources. if the flash lamp was the primary source, then choosing a daylight setting may give good results. This is something that can be sorted out by making a series of test shots and becoming familar with the results. Rememeber, its a digital camera and trial shots are cheap and can be deleted when you are done with those. The default ISO setting for my camera was 80. I increased to 100 and no more. I raise it only in circumstances where I can not get the shot without more speed. The lower settings give better color saturation. I had major problem in that my outdoor shots tended to have burned-out portions. The dynamic range was disappointing. Apparently, the default setting was set toward over exposure. I found improved results by setting the exposure adjustment -1/3 to -2/3 f-stops. Some of my shots are on the dark side, but these are readily compensated with software. The burn-outs can not be fixed. Check you camera menu for the setting of the IS mode. It can be turned off! If yours is off, of course, it is inactive. The three choices are (1)off, (2)on all the time, and (3)active only when the shutter button is pressed to the first detent. I use (3) to save on battery power and yet have the function. In this mode, one must press the shutter button to its first detent and wait for the lens to focus before pressing further to make the shot. I found this requires good dexterity, sometimes more than I can muster. The first detent is so light, that I may push the button all the way down. I wish there was a greater difference in the feel for this feature. Leaving the IS feature activated all the time uses a lot of battery power since the lens is continually hunting for focus as the camera is moved.

I’ve got this far and it’s starting to come together. I will look for bookcases for the left side of fireplace (and might actually already own something I can make work) and then something complimentary for right side of the fireplace. What’s here now will not be staying. I can go ahead and order a rug now that I’ve settled on the furniture placement. I’ve got a slipcover on that wing chair but now that things are coming together I think the original pattern will be fine so I will remove the slipcover. I have a matching chair for it so I’ll bring that in, for the other side of the table by the window. I’ve got an idea to temporarily make the fireplace frame somewhat acceptable for the holidays, come January we can decide the permanent solution. Chijim, as you can see There’s not a lot of room but I think it meets the minimum. I’m still playing around with the settee in the other end of the room and will post pictures once every re-arranged it. I’d like to get rid of it but there’s no room anywhere else for it at the present time.

If you took the picture with the camera on the phone the picture is stored on your phone. You can Log into your eBay account and using the browser on your phone or the app if you have one. Go to the picture on your phone and there should be a share icon, it looks like a sideways V with dots on the ends on Android, on iPhone it looks like a box with an arrow pointing upward out of the box. . Click on the icon and it will show a list of ways to share the pictures. Email, messenger, etc. I have always preferred to simply remove the memory card from the camera, when using an actual camera, and inserting it into the card reader on the computer. Then accessing directly from the SD card the pictures to download to the computer. It's a simple process.

If you find a rug online that you like, order the smallest size available so you can see if you like the colors and texture in your home. Much easier to return than re-wrapping and dragging a giant rug to the UPS store. I'd try to find something that ties together the colors of the floor, walls and sofa. https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/Surya-Kavita-25142/141810/228321 https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/LoloiRugs-Victoria-VK01/124668 (this is my favorite ^) https://www.rugs-direct.com/Details/LoloiRugs-Victoria-VK01/124668
