QUOTE(faidz85 @ Apr 27 2010, 10:00 AM) Assuming you are using the kit lens, I would say that in low light its hard to get a usable picture. Feel crying under low light One way is to use higher ISO. Other than that, comes the pancake. haha   . Can't even get focus (Perhap update firmware later may help). Higher ISO produces high noise and too reddish. May speed up my timeline to get 20mm...hehee |

May I know how low is the quantity of light? If indoor night portraits, the kit lens should not have any problem.

The bottom-line is, f3.5-5.6 kit zoom lens is not easy for shooting in low light condition... There are workarounds - either you use flash, or go for high ISO (suitable for B&W), or you need to use a tripod

Hi,
Few questions. 1. Can I use olympus PEN compatible flashes with the GF1? 2. Can I use the EP-2 EVF on the GF1? 3. Has anyone tried the Voigtlander 40mm viewfinder with the 20mm pancake? How was it? thanks |

Stacking lens...with that amount of lenses. I'm worried something might patah.
Wonder how do they aim... to get the focus of all lenses should be hard. |
