isnt it already out?
ok maybe i should rephrase...
panasonic is not coming up with a 4/3...

 

[navlem]

Hmm, panasonic dun wanna go head to head with the likes of canon, nikon and sony.

They want to play a niche market strategy, thus will be focusing more on m4/3

When I got home last night I was quite disappointed with a lot of my sunset shots, I had a reflection of a second sun. Best way is to post one, how can I stop this?:dunno:

I am always pleasantly surprised by how much this "little" camera (FZ18) can do. Here are two examples. The photo of the full moon inspired by ricsal another FZ18 user.

#1 Sunset at Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu. Taken using the creative mode.

#2 Full moon. Taken at 28.7x extended zoom with a resolution of 2.5m, handheld. Noise as expected.

i think its the problem of your filter.

It would be better if you posted your exif data too.

 

[Clunk]

Hi Melvan, yeah it is only a crappy UV filter that was given as freebie.
But why on only every now and then?
Shutter speed 1/100 sec
F4.0
ISO 250
Focal length of lens 55.00

 

[navlem]

It happened only now and den cos of the different position of the sun.

Yeah i think its cos of your filter, a better filter would fix the problem.

Since you were on a tripod you should actually stop down more, maybe to F8 or something.

i 2nd that,since you have a tripod you should use F8.0 for Scenery,to prevent any kind of shakes i usually set timer also.

My shots yesterday.

 

[navlem]

Hey guys, will be enlisted tomorrow, so will not be taking part in most of the activities from now on, unless its weekends.

 

[Clunk]

Hi Navlem, well, tomorrow is the big day, NS. Over the the past few years I have seen you turn into a fine young man, and now you have this final rite of passage. Good luck, all the best, just sorry I will miss your new haircut. Everyone, I am sure will miss your posts for a while.

 

[Wabbit]

All the best to you Navlem. Take good care of yourself in there. :thumbsup:

 

[speedknight]

Take care and all the best....
as for me i will turn 1 yr on the 24th...
haha

Hey Rob if I were you I'd lose that filter. Its much better without. Or replace it with a multi-coated filter, say $25.
