HI, can i know if there is a way to set the camera to auto stitch the panorama?

The assist mode allows you to take a few pictures then when play back, they are just individual pics....

and its not stated in the manual that came with the camera so.... cant RTFM

More shots...

Sunlight - Straight JPG

Seaside - Adjusted RAW (had +2 EV accidently)

Same beach at night, was almost pitched black - playing with the shutter settings (30sec)

Sun was setting behind the mountain - casting a red glow on the clouds

Was travelling in a car on bumpy roads, stabiliser works pretty well.

Certainly... as said previously, I'm pretty impressed with the stabliser, not too sure how it compares with the LX3 though.

I'm not sure how to answer all those questions, but let's start with something - food.

Learn to identify good-looking food and go next to a window, or near the side of a hawker center where light is entering. Go close to avoid clutter. However, each layout is different and as appropriate, not all advise about food shots will be the same.

The LX3 is already a great camera, or so I've been told, but the LX5 is even better!

impressive :thumbsup:

No problems for me so far...

In Flickr, select "Share this" -> "Grab the HTML/BBCode" and just c&p it here should do...

Nice shots by the way, hope more LX5 users post their shots too, it's nice to see how well this small camera fairs...
