What should i change the settings to on my camera for the best quality?

I have a kodak easyshare m883. 8.0 mp. Like what size of pictures should i change it to for good quality and less grainy-ness? How about the AF control[still]?



I'm going to a concert so what setting should i use? Panning or High ISO or night landscape or digital image stabilization or another? Please i can't seem to figure this out. I would be so grateful if you could help meWhat should i change the settings to on my camera for the best quality?
What sort of a concert is it? Popular, or classical music? Are you allowed to use flash? What sort of lighting is there? These are the questions you need to consider.



If its a pop concert with limited lighting, you are going to struggle whatever, you can remove the noise in post processing, Photoshop lightroom has a function to reduce noise. So you can shoot at a reasonably high iso (around 800-1600). Your flash is probably not going to be any use at the sort of ranges you will be shooting at. Finally switch on IS which will give you 2-3 stops on your shutter speed. Also shoot at the widest zoom since thats when your aperture is most open. This will maximise the amount of light you get onto your sensor.What should i change the settings to on my camera for the best quality?
Your camera is a cheap P%26amp;S, one of the cheapest on the market, of course the pictures are bad quality and grainy in low light!. The reason being that the sensor in your camera is about the size of a grain of salt, is terrible at gathering light and will produce awful noise in your images. This is why DSLR's have sensors 20x the size of that of P%26amp;S's.



The only thing you could try is by setting it to some sort of 'night' mode and try and clean up the image afterwards using post processing software. You are simply expecting too much from your camera, you need to buy a new one.
