Thanks, shall try that.


I got it second-hand from a fellow lowyat.net user, Nikonk. very good condition

P mode is better, can set miminum shutter speed

Yea seen that, can also set the aperture in this mode if i'm not wrong.

24mm at widest
I can always crop it if I want a close-up picture. In fact the previous picture was cropped too.

Try play with P mode. Program shift function, but need to turn off the auto-iso.

^^ that's once heck of a wide picture you got there.

Auto-ISO, that's one of the first thing I disabled on the cam.

Hie Im new here , just bought my LX 3. Great camera with great images!

my eye.

the RAW file cant be opened by photoshop eh?
have to use silky-dunno-what-name

ok, my pics are lousy... i've been shooting mainly with Fine Jpeg...

All my pics seems to be kinda grainy, and im not sure if its cos of my crappy PC. Its like, im viewing it with lower amount of pixels, kinda like how Windows Safe Mode is, but nicer.. lol.

Help? iA seems to be giving out the best pics thus far..

Jus to share, Ian Ho on cnet australia.....

Kudos....

Wow, that's something worth congratulating ...
Congrats Ianho XD

Haha, I guess you guys pampered with PnS camera too much. Last time, mostly camera have this. And all dSLR have these lens cap inconvenience too

LoL....congrats to our bro~!

I think you are having trouble with "noise".
Try to set your camera to lower ISO (sensitivity) in your menu.
If you have "Intelligent ISO" on, then go down 2 notches to set your ISO limit to 400 or lower.
Remember that lower ISOs will give less noise and less grainy images.

Hope this helps solve ur image issues....

Thanks for your feedback PCHo

Haven't really read through all the functions due to lack of time, but i was actually looking for the ISO limit option and could not find it, and had disabled Intelligent ISO.

I'll try enabling it, see if it helps. I think the grainy look is down to the fact that I'm shooting mainly in my room and without flash, lit only by a fluorescent light. maybe lah, need to try out some outdoor daylight shots tomorrow.

Also a query about the Program AE mode. I've noticed that there's a shutter minimum limit, set by default to 1/8 if im not wrong. This basically means it wont go slower than that right? Funny thing is it always shoots at that shutter speed, so it seems fixed instead of varying the shutter.

IanHo, well done!!

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend me a pouch/case for LX3? I'm not able to find one and the original leather case looks very expensive. Just need a simple pouch.

Currently my LX3 is without pouch/case, greatly appreciate if LX3 owners here can take a shot of their pouch/case.


Thanks!

just now i went to harvey norman pavilion, and they quote me RM1699. IINM they give 5 years warranty (2+3) i think. Is it worth the extra RM200 for the extended warranty ?

Other shops only give 2 years manufacturer warranty right ?

that's funny. harvey norman bukit tinggi quoted me RM1799 without any extra warranty. they say it's fixed price. non-negotiable.

i was wrong. It's without the extended warranty lol. If u want the extended warranty have to pay around RM200. The price listed was 1799 but he told me the actual price is 1699, with casing and 8gb memory card instead of 4gb

i think it's too expensive
