Next Sunday, at 1.30p.m, on the beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, my daughter and her partner of 20 years are tying the knot. Naturally I want to get nice photos. I will be using my Canon SX10IS p&s, and it tends to overexpose and get the 'blinkies', and the wedding dress will be white (bridesmaids in black). But I want to use auto shooting so that I don't have to waste time figuring things out (believe me that would be a LOT of time) and I saw in another thread advice against bracketing shots. Is this too taxing on the camera? Any other tips would be appreciated, too.
Agree with Art - 20 years is a bit quick. shotgun?
Joking aside, I dont think there is a great deal you will be able to do with a P&S - they are what they are. Leave the tricky exposure work to the pro and just get some nice memories and snapshots.

Hha, see my reply to Art. It's too late for the shotgun. I will be enjoying myself, but I would still like my pics to be at least a good starting point to pp the heck out of them.
choose the right metering mode , shoot in EV mode, so that the camera takes a reading from the scene as a whole.
if your histogram is stacked to the right then it is over exposed
bracket your images
that is what it says in this article about blown over exposure wedding dresses.
Thanks Juliet. Is EV the same as AV? My camera has that. Thanks for the bit about histograms and bracketing, because I think that might supply a safety net.
