We were blessed with a baby girl on 28th.
20 days earlier than expected and I had to rush n get a new cam ASAP. Indicom urned its back on me, so no research possible with the little time I had and using a little common sense (I hope so) I ended up getting a Canon SX100 IS.

Trouble is, I need to take the baby's pics without using any flash as it its ill-advised use flash on newborns. The lighti9ng at the hospital ain't that great either.

I tried increasing the exposure time, however the images are toooo grainy to even consider. I am doing things at 1600 ISO, and clicking from about 2 feet without using any zoom, and with the focus at 4 and below.

So looking for a "Dummies" guide to click without flash.
