That's one drawback I've found with the flood of point & shoot digital
cameras. No shutter adjustment for time exposures.

olympus stylus 300 or 400 - try one.

Good time exposures of the moon are difficult - usually if they are
long enough to get good detail you will see the movement of the moon.

assuming a film speed of asa200 (typical color film), the proper
exposure
for an image of the full moon on a clear night would be 1/60sec at f4, give
or
take an f stop. of course, you could open up to f2.8 and select 1/125sec
for your
shutter speed, which would make for a crisp image even if hand held. the
only
thing produced by *longer* exposure times, such as several seconds, with a
tripod, would be an appearance of daylight.
