ISO film speed equivalent to 80 ~ with an exposure compensation of  -0.3
Program~Auto, which selected  1/1250 th sec, at  f/4.0 --
(such a fast shutter speed indicates this one was made with the faster, half-scan mode, which I don't usually use)
HOWEVER THE Original camera files on these look more like this & "large"
note to self:  whatever original lighting can be quite persistent ~
as always, a good initial exposure saves grief from there after

ISO film speed equivalent was Auto, which chose 160 "speed" ~
Shutter Priority at  1/80 th sec, the camera had to use  f/2.4 ...
using the camera's pop-up flash, its intensity turned up high as possible
I'd known already the originals would look like this, and they
would definitely require processing to get anything ...
actually these photos were made under sunset colours and dusk lighting.
