Wow nice Ewin

Its great to see another person with so much enthusiasm in the FX18 as well. I just came back from my China trip recently and I have taken some pictures using my newly bought FX18.

Still am learning about photography as well. Alot of questions in my mind too. For example, how do you determine for a particular scene, what should be the correct aperture or shutter settings if I am to use the aperture or shutter mode.

YouLiang - Get Fz18- better, if you want small compact then get Tz3 lo.

Jusstatic - I think you meant Fz18?

for scene selection - just follow the situation, if food, then set to food scene lo

but if you want it to be manual - then

Focus on 1 object - background blur - Aperture F number must be low
eg: 2.8

aperture number high - for scenery

shutter mode - high number shutter mode = longer = more light absorbs
shutter mode - low number shutter mode = FAST = less light absorbs

something like that la, I'm still new too, need to learn more

correct me if im wr

Yeah Ewin, I am referring to FZ-18 hehe, typo error.

Yup, regarding the aperture: low aperture for blurred background, yes. But there are some values in between the lowest aperture setting and the highest aperture setting. Not sure when to use those values though.

I'm not expert but I suppose this can help.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture

From what I've read the middle values like 4.0 - 5.0 will provide the sharpest shots.
