there is no manual focus lens for lx3 unfortunately, can onli use the joystick if u wana use manual focus..



btw guys, is it worth it to buy the RM199 8GB panasonic sdhc from http://direct.panasonic.com.my? can't think of anything to buy with my e-voucher...lol

I bought an extra battery with the E-voucher, only pay rm7.
Cos i scare when i go out to do photo shot low battery and couldn't buy any since it's not using AA size battery.

use the e-voucher to get extra battery.

the thing is i have already have an extra battery b4...lol...

Oh... If i'm not mistaken, some parameter(s) in that particular color scheme i.e. contrast, saturation, etc was tweaked, thats why it'll appear yellow.

Added on August 9, 2009, 12:11 amSerious s**t!!! I encountered some PL filters that doesnt rotates (is it linear PL then?). Then i was thinking, its the DSLR's lens barrel that rotates (rite???) that why maybe they dont manufacture with a rotating ring to reduce cost. Now i only know i might be wrong, am i??? Yikes...

did u all got a lens protector for LX3?

no for me...

u mean LX3 auto adjust those settings ????
my PL filter did rotate...LOL

wat is PL filter?
and wat is it for?
sorry..might b a noob question

polarizing filter (PL) main function is to limit the reflection of non-metal surface
usually PL come wif UV filter as well ... to filter out haze ...some claim can make the sky to be more blue
of coz cheap PL/CircularPL and expensive PL/CPL have alot of difference in quality of pictures .......

if i m not mistaken...PL dun do much if ther is no Sunlight, correct me if i m wrong
examples tat i took (juz by rotating the PL) :





examples by Hoya Pro 1D CPL:

Oh... Nope. If you choose any "color theme" i.e. "Standard", "Dynamic", "Vibrant" etc... IF you maintain the profile as per default, the symbol should be white. IT you tweak any parameter in it i.e. "Saturation", "Sharpness", "NR", etc... Then it will turn yellow. You can try it out. At least mine does.

As for the PL filter part; This proves the minimal exposure i have on technology. I always thought it was the DLSR's lens barrel tip that rotates when i tested my friend's with PL on, so it was otherwise? Hehehe... Malunya. And means Panasonic really made its PL filter super high-tech at that price-tag.

i think hoya's pro1d cpl filter is more than enough. panasonic's accesories are overpriced.

icic .... i will check it out

Actually I do think that UV and PL does the same thing, which is to filter out the effect sunlight has when taking picture. When I took a picture with UV for comparison, it seem that certain color seem more saturated and it does remove a blue tint over the picture that appear when taking without any filter. PL also does the same thing, but it does it better when there is strong sunlight or reflection. Its hard to say which is better cos I found that a pic that looks great on LCD seem overly bright when printed out while those seemly dark print out okay.

Some PL filter does include UV filtering function.

Added on August 9, 2009, 3:53 pmErmm... I dont think so. UV and PL filtering is different.

SKylight filters does reduce bluish tint though.
