Shooting Photos of Fireworks


I have a Canon Powershot S45 digital camera. What is the best setting for fireworks photos? Auto does not work very well.

  Set your camera to shooting mode "M" (manual) or "Tv" (shutter speed priority) and use 1, 2 or 4 seconds. See what the result looks like and adjust the speed accordingly. Hope this helps.

  You will, of course, need to use a tripod :-)

  Without touching the camera, you can use a hat to cover the front of the lens in between bursts.
