Hi Beth,

What I discovered with my digital camera, also a Canon (Powershot A20), is that it does NOT handle outdoor shadow. I've shot a couple of races where all the runners have come out the same blue shade that I see in your reproductions. Manual settings haven't overcome the decided blue cast.

I've had the most consistent digital results shooting the paintings outdoors; I hang them on the fence in direct sun, set up a tripod, zoom all the way in with the camera's mechanical zoom (Josef is right about the "optical zoom") and set the self-timer so there is no chance of my hand causing any camera movement.
