guys, is it possible to Geotag the photos taken with LX3? I mean automatically

so, have to geotag manually

why don't they build in bluetooth or have some external connection for it


anyway, any recommendation for good and easy software to tag the photos manually? thanks thanks

this software is cool....if you own a
1. Nokia/Motorola phone
2. GPS device (bluetooth)
3. Yahoo! acc + flickr acc
4. Any digital camera that support timestamp

hehe, when you upload the photos to flickr, the gps log with this small software will sync with the photos you took from your digicam and geotag the photos with the matching timestamp

cool....

bro, you know where in M'sia they sell the lens adapter DMW-LA4 for LX3?

keke....i just bought Lenspen miniPro II

1. FZ28 more zoom
2. FZ28 cheaper
3. FZ28 bulkier

a) depends on if you need extra zoom power or not
b) for me, i need something handy like LX3 and the quality performance that just suits my requirement. i was thinking of dSLR b4 i bought LX3, but because of my nature of work, i can't afford the time and hassle of dSLR. most importantly, LX3 is very a handsome camera. many praises from friends and family when i took out my camera to shoot....haha
c) budget
d) in terms of performance and photo quality, i don't own FZ28, so can't comment

Press Menu button, go to setting option (spanner icon)....the last item is Firmware
mine is version 1.0


LX3 is really handy...especially the HD video capability....love it more & more by the days

there will be a Photography Festival in Time Square this weekend 18-19 October, 2008

BTW, when i got my LX3, the box is sealed with a tamper-proof seal....mine is still sealed, broke virgin by me...hahaha

good luck!!

Firmware 1.1 available 15-Dec-2008
and new Flash for LX3

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0811/08112601...mwareupdate.asp

i agree that manual focus gives more control, ....but it takes up too much time to adjust with the mini joystick...

i normally do this....
1. Auto focus at the subject in the middle of the screen (half press the capture button until u see green rectangle on screen).
2. Hold it (the capture button). Your focus is locked at the focal length or subject.
3. Move your camera to your final capture and fire ur shot (completely press capture button).
4. Voi⋅là....
