Added on November 21, 2012, 1:11 amYou see guys. In Fuji X10 website, there is a sample image on sunflower which is under Aperture Priority Auto mode. Stated there the shutter speed is 1/200. How do I gonna check my shutter speed statistic since i have no control over it. Display
2nd. How to play with focal length, AEL/AFL button ?
3rd. How to take a picture of ceiling fan (moving object) under shutter priority mode ?
May sound stupid but need to learn.
Thank you in advance
just my 2cents
1. IMHO..when u on a apeture mode, u can adjust the aperture and the shutter is automaticly set by the camera. of course u can review the shutter speed and iso after the picture taken. vice-versa if u using a shutter mode, the apeture is automaticly set.if u wanted to adjust both u can use the manual mode

2.u can see the focal length on top of the lens - it is 28, 35, 50, 85, 112 (u can double the range using intelligent digital zoom -sweet-). the AEL/AFl button is the exposure lock button (AEL) and focus lock (AFL) button. umm u can change the function in the setup menu - whether for AEL/AFL/AEL&AFL
3. use shutter mode(S) scroll the dial left or right. lower number slow shutter..high number fast shutter. if u want the fan's blade to stop use fast shutter..if u want it to umm "blur" use slow shutter. *fast shutter make u picture dark..compesate it with flash and ISO.
then again u could learn all the basic via internet about apeture/shutter speed/ISO/field of depth/focal length/rule of third/flash mode/flash curtainning/panning/ bla bla
Than you bro
Added on November 27, 2012, 8:14 amJust bought a USED Nikon D90 + 50mm f/1.4 + Nissin flash + Phottix battery grip + addidtional battery + winer bagpack and there is no turning back. It only cost me only $1900.....I am looking for camera that can give me a very nice bokeh effect and oh boy....it is so simple when you have the right gear. Even a dumb fool like me is so hand on with it's basic function. Fuji X10 will only be my 2nd P&S camera for casual shooting now....My point is if I have been exposed to more reading and research earlier, I would not spend $1500~$2000 for Fuji X10 at all....plus there is no option to upgrade. There is no resale value too.
My point is even a used respectable DSLR camera worth the every penny spent. Fuji camera is just overly priced !!!
I dont mean to offence anyone though it remain as individual opinion and you can choose to ignore beginner like me. Anyway, thank you for the advices and suggestions. I appreciate them !!
