FZ18 User here

Still trying to get a hang of its function though

I am really new to photography, and of course to FZ18. Any tips taking nice scenery, night and macro shots? Going for a tour soon. Really appreciate it someone can give me a starter

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.

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.

Nice! Another FZ18 user

Wow, its good to hear that FZ18 is gaining much popularity.

Will anyone be posting any guides on how to fully utilize the capabilities of FZ18?

Still unable to really grasp the essence of taking good shots with the FZ18.
Especially for nightshots. Nightmode shots are not very ideal even with tripod

Any suggestions ppl?

You guys got any tips on taking night shots? I know tripod is necessary, but even with a tripod, I still feel the pictures can be better. :|
