To tie the lens cap to the camera strap.

Ok since we're one Pana family. PM me if u're interested to buy a super good high quality bag for nonsence price. Its exactly like a Crampler photo bag but bigger and better. Ur eyes will pop out if u see the bag and the price tag with it. I can't send any pics of it now coz i'm in office. Might do it later when i get home.

Lol, I think I'm really blessed being the man who keeps bumping into crazy deals.

z18 extra batteries anyone?
best i get is

RM160 - Original
RM40 - Pirated

If we bulk it its cheaper.

if u're having a problem with dirty lens, from dust or alot dust on ur camera I suggest u get a cleaning kit and a LensPen Micro

Cleaning Kit cheap dea from Photo Miami @ seksyen 17 (Near Digital mall next to Baker's Cottage)
RM30 u'll get
Blower, cotton buds, lens cloth, cleaning liquid, lens brush, lens tissue.

LensPen Micro is awesomely fantastic for cleaning lenses but its more practical for DSLR users la.
Its about RM30 and hard to find u can get it in Foto Data @ Midvalley

hahaha chill dude. that's part of learning about using a good camera. would u be surprised if i tell u DSLRs do have the same problem even if u shake abit or move abit. If u wanna shake less try using P and auto settings will set in. but if u relaly wanna do photography with lotsa movement or sports photo u nid to do it on manual setting. then play around with the aperture, shutter and ISO (this takes alot of practise).

also u could try this tip. take shots after u breathout and about to breath in. also have a support for ur arms and if its too shake use the EVF, rest it on ur eyes and nose then u won't shake much.

worry not, i still do take blurry pics hahaha i'm also learning.

walau i keep all my pics on my pc no upload stuff wan... aiseh now gotta subscribe something pulak..... hahaha
i tot can upload image straight

hey thks for the tip bro..yeah i use lauyah point shoot cam....first time using a prosumer cam.....still learning....and hope to read more and learn more...my trip is comming soon....dun feel wana see all tose blurry pic when come bec malaysia hahaha....it will be disastrous!

p.s: photobucket...upload pic easiest lar....

courtesy of knuu bro....Rm55@fotokem sunway pyramid
