FX-01 is a great cam.. and since the price has dropped somewhat with the arrival of FX-07, go get it. Great for new users as it's very easy to use.

@fulat
issit u zoom until 12x ??? do like this is better for macro ?

Not much difference on the aesthetics between FX8, FX01 and FX07. Sometimes I myself got confused by their looks.

Guys... good news .. Problems dat troble me for months oredi solved.

It was the color faded of my Black color FX9.. hehe..
Must be Sweat smudged over the body. And it melt the surface's color.

The LCD no problem at all..hehe..

The technician used knife to peel over a corner of the screen protector and found the stain was not from the LCD screen.

yes... 12x zoom. well.. it depand... 12x zoom for macro af is very hard to take... i used tripod for that one

if not mistaken +4 only.

i have 2 filter only +2 and +4

12X Zoom will give u a good DOF

And somemore why i prefer F8.0, because i want to get the whole pics o the screen and less DOF....If F2.8 it will give me a blur object... u know lar...the border of the macro lens is always blur out a bit

Aperture and Depth of Field (DOF)

The Depth of Field is the distance wherein objects are in focus.

There are times when you desire a great depth of field, i.e. where objects both close to you and far from you are in focus. This is especially true when you are taking a landscape picture and want as much as possible to be in crisp focus.

Then there are times when you want to isolate your subject, as when you are taking a portrait and want your subject to be in sharp focus but the background to be out of focus. In this case, you desire a shallow depth of field.

One way to influence DOF is by selecting the appropriate aperture.

The rule of thumb is this:

* Select a large aperture (or small f/value or small aperture value), e.g. f/2.8, to obtain a shallow DOF
* Select a small aperture (or large f/value or large aperture value), e.g. f/8.0, to achieve great DOF



Note: Since we are on the subject of DOF, DOF also changes with focal length. Use a small focal length to increase DOF, a longer focal length obtain a shallower DOF. I.E. if you zoom, the DOF decreases. [OK, to be technically correct, focal length does not really affect DOF, but gives the effect that it does. And, that's good enough for us since that's what we're after. We'll cover DOF in a later tutorial.]

Due to the small image sensors used, digital cameras use such small focal lengths that it is very difficult to obtain shallow depth of field even when using a large aperture. In the example above, we used a large aperture AND a long focal length (telephoto macro) to achieve a shallow DOF.

looking for lumix:

good optical zoom
ok mp
budget <1200
good lcd screen
light

to me i don't like zoom macro mode... its blur.

if no zoom . do u think u can macro the ants on the top of the tree?

aiyo.... u still don't understand what's macro la... u want to shot those ants on tree u climb up and shot near near...those call macro. if u use lens zoom from ground to tree those call tele lens.

even i use 12x zoom + my +24macro closed up filter also i need the "object" to be about 3 - 5 cm away from my lens la..

i think this is what ya mean.... shuttle speed 1/40sec, F3.6 and 6x zoom.

diffirent so much!!!

but damn hard to focus ler... need tripod~

if got tripod can make it easy to focus?
i dun think so, that day i using tripod oso hard to focus

FX8/9 and FX01/07 is a very big diff from the output of photo I c.

FX01/07 is much more nicer for my eyes .



pangping1510

FX01

without tripod... u can't even focus...
