Olympus Evolt

whats the best setting for taking really nice soft darker looking photos with an Olympus Evolt E-500?

I want to take pictures that would look as professional as possible and make them sort of dark and sharp. But i dont know what to change the settings too so i can take those kind of photos.

If you want it darker:
While holding down the +/- (exposure compensation) button, rotate the
control dial to set compensation value towards the minus (-) sign. P.79 of the advanced manual shows this.

When you say soft, you don’t mean soft focus do you? Do you mean soft lighting? That has more to do with where the light comes from. Don’t use the built in flash, use natural light, preferably coming from a diffuse source like on a cloudy day or indoors in a sunlit room with no direct sunlight striking anything you are photographing.
