Have you tried simply setting exposure compensation? When out in bright
sun, I usually have the S110 set to -1/3 or -2/3 EV. Many fewer blown
highlights that way.
I do have to remember to reset it in softer light. Even if I don't, the
image is generally recoverable. Afternoon blew in overhead with a
vengeance bofore I took this shot, and it was very dim and flat in the
original jpeg. I couldn't reshoot it by the time I noticed because the
bugs moved <http://galleries.moosemystic.net/Glads/pages/10-1053.htm>.
It's much easier to make something good out of an underexposed DC image
than an overexposed one. Especially when the subject is bright and the
background doesn't matter.
