LX3 , f/2.8 , 60mm , iso400 (photoshop reduce noise, still retain more details than a200)A200, f/5.6 , 60mm , iso1600

LX3 can perform just as good A200 in low light, @ lower ISO and bigger apperture.

Can try to shoot from different angles (other than eye level) to make ur photos' composition more interesting.
My personal opinion is that the 3 u posted lack a bit of color also....

Try to fill the frame with the subject.
Here, I would have gone closer to the building and tried shooting it from a lower angle.

This one lacks punch in the colors.
Try vibrant film mode.
And again, going nearer and removing some not-so-important stuff from the shot (left hand side) would've made the photo look better.

I think that 1st shot is ok.
Problem is it is"back lighting".
I m guessing "vibrant" or "dynamic" film modes would yield bluer skies and give the shot more punch.
Just my opinion only tongue.gif

europology and PCHo, yea I agree its a little underexposed. using a slower shutter speed might have helped. Havent had time to edit either, i think a little work in SilkyPix might improve it abit. I actually have a similar, brighter pic, lemme find it.

Took a similar shot of the KLCC, but it turned out grossly underexposed too. Not easy to take building shots with the sun in the background, it always turned out either over or underexposed.

thanks Sebastian, natural light shots are interesting, esp in the morning in a room with curtains laugh.gif

EDIT:

here's another shot of the church tower, using a wider aperture and slower shutter speed. The cloud formation arent as nice though and the sky arent as blue now. also, had included the tree and street lamp when I think it would've been better without. Ah well, still a looong way from the "perfect" shot!

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


and here's another pic i took from the opposite angle, with the sun to my back. The tower now gives out more detail due to the sunlight bouncing off it. It was taken barely 2 minutes later and you'll notice there's now dark clouds gathering from the other end. It started raining 15 minutes later, but hey this is Malaysia tongue.gif

Personally, I think it is quite obvious the 1st shot looks brighter n has more color than the previous one.
I would say the exposure is more precise.
Probably just +1/3 stop more than the previous one.

dont think u can get this model in this moment within klang valley unless the shop really "pak yu ying"(no business)
the price will be around rm1600 with 4 gb + case.if they have existing stock,then u can get total 2 years warranty

the price will be around rm1600 with 4 gb + case.if they have existing stock,then u can get total 2 years warranty

Today I got a chance to share some indoor shots with another 2 other Lumix camera (FX & FZ). Got to admit that, the 1-stop advantage really come in handy and very useful. Same lighting, LX-3 retain the lower ISO100-160, while the other 2 boost up to ISO400.

Hey, could you trigger the 540EZ directly from the LX-3 (i.e. 540EZ on the hotshoe)? I tried but it didn't work.

I have problem updating to V1.2 also.
Already using V1.1 but the process didn't fully complete.
The cam shut down when updating when it should've restarted.
The firmware reads V1.1 on the cam, but not sure if it fully updated.

Anyway, when I tried to update to V1.2, the cam just doesn't recognize the *.bin file for V1.2.
Dammit.....
Is there anyway to go back to V1.0?

Panasonic Leica LX-3?

something wrong here, it should be Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 , no?

if Leica name is involved, then it's Leica D-Lux 4.

Bro, can you take a picture of the above setup. Kinda curious how it works

Btw, the other day I got a nice, glorious thumbprint on my LX3 lense. Was taking a close pic of my nephew and just nice he stick out his finger and touch the lense. Ouch!!

SO i kinda wiped it with a clean, smooth material hankerchief. didn't apply pressure, just lightly cleaned it. Still got abit stain, what is recommended to remove it? a static cloth kinda thing? like those for glasses one...

blower, a little piece of microfiber cloth, cotton swabs,lens cleaning paper and a bottle of chemical water to clean the lense..

follow the instruction from the kit, i think it helps..(but normally i dun apply the chemical stuff on the lens, it might harmful to lens i heard)

RM 35 per set at lowyat..hehehe..

no matter what size it is...

testing my lx-3 today...it's a fun camera for casual situation...but i don't think it's the kind of camera to take "gambar lawa"...i have my olympus e500 for that...because the noise is high (but better than any other prosumer compact), i don't like the color and AWB (that's why i plan to just shoot black & white only with this cam)...but i like the dynamic range, responsiveness, the features and the compactness...

can't wait to shoot pictures during thaipusam at batu caves with this camera...

will post more pics at my flickr www.flickr.com/photos/azmkun

hi there. I am considering to get LX-3. Before that I have some questions hope all the sifu here can help me . Browse through V2 thread.

1.Is it wise to add a screen protector on the lens? - someone mention is not worth to get it.so far no one comment about the quality of the pic with lens protector.Any comment about the pic?

2.Any recommend for lcd screen protector? - some is using the lcd screen protector given my camera shop and I recall seeing someone saying buying it online...then name....start with M something... will go read again later. Will any lcd screen protector will do?

3.Suggestion on how to protect the lens from dust, oil and scratch. - i might miss out this part..

Thanks.Sorry for the noob questions

Hi,

I'm coming to KL next week and I'd like to know how much is the current price for LX3? I'm wondering if I'll spend the first half day searching for the camera or do I buy it from here (1800RM + card and case). Are the cameras widely available or does the shops have a lack of stock? Any suggestion of stores or locations? Last time I visited Malaysia 5 years ago I bought the camera from Midvalley, is it still good place to search camera or is the Sungei Wang better? Are there any other good places?

hello everyone. i just bought lx-3 on friday, before CNY. basically i went 'hunting' for the black lx-3 all over midvalley. key color, harvey norman, best denki, all have SILVER only. haih, that time i already lost hope, planning to go lowyat and then i saw this shop, trillion photo. i was lucky they got black lx-3 and i bought it. they have 2 units left, and one of it already reserved for somebody.

for rm1799 i got the BLACK lx-3, 4gb panasonic mem card, and freebie pouch same as above.

mine is already v1.1 and the next day i upgade to v1.2

oh guru and master jedi of lx-3, sila beri tunjuk ajar!

I'm from Finland. I was studying in KL 5 years ago, so it's nice to see the old hoods. I'd better check the price of the card and case here, because the difference in cameras is not that big and we got plenty of stock. Do you have any idea does the shops at Sungei Wang or Midvalley get more cameras soon?

I bought from him also. Very good seller and high recommended. I wouldn't recommend Lowyat or Sg Wang for any purchase due to the amount of con/cheat cases going on there. If ur not picky on the colors, Best Denki, Harvey Norman, etc have quite a lot of silver colors left. If you wan Black, u need to go hunting for it already..

^ still new to photography not sifu tongue.gif

technically all PS camera can do, you just need to use the preset setting to shoot to get the effects that you want (but it doesn't give you full control of the aperture/shutter/iso)...that's what i've learned online...

some PS camera does offer the control of aperture/shutter/iso/etc, lx3 being one of them.

Woohoo!! I just got my LX3 baby last Sunday. At Harvey Norman. RM16++ which includes screen protector and 8GB SD. Comes with 2 years warranty.

Great for taking baby pictures. My family members could only took pics of baby with flash using other ordinary P&S, but this leica lens was fast enough without flash! Great little camera with fantastic image quality. Still learning its features. Previously I used an entry-level DSLR D60...but I think I'll love this more. More practical, and good for low-light situation where D60 won't cope.

Where do you guys get other accesories like lens, optical viewfinder, filter etc.??

i just got mine for RM1580, 8GB, SP n case at Lowyat

really nice unit!
the quality of photo guarantee better than any of the compact camera even you shot it with full auto mode

only thing i don't like is it can hardly produce nice bokeh
I still miss DSLR F1.8 50mm lense

but it's a trade off lah, this unit offers great mobility compare to DSLR

Some one in this post told me and i've verify with Panasonic malaysia , Midvalley key colors can get the accesories.
But is is not cheap buddy..
A CPL cost RM 300 ++


Here is the price list Panasonic malaysia mail to me earlier..

Panasonic DMW-LW46 (RM 629.00)
Wide Conversion Lens

Panasonic DMW-LND46 (RM 90.00)
ND Filter

Panasonic DMW-LPL46 (RM 330.00)
PL Filter

Panasonic DMW-LMC46 (RM 80.00)
MC Protector

Panasonic DMW-LA4 (RM 109.00)
Conversion Lens Adaptor

May be, you can get it from Ebay instead..
i just bought a lens adaptor (52mm) with UV filter (52mm) and lens cap from Ebay. A HK seller...RM 74.

CPL i might buy when my camera comes back (send for repair, lens broken.. cry.gif cry.gif )...

They won't come up with a great model just to proof to the world that they can produce kick-@ss cameras but earn nothing doh.gif

Just bought a lx3 black from lowyat forumer iamsobloodysick. However he did not provide me with receipt. Would that be a problem in the future in case of any warranty claims?

Guys, I'm a newbie in photography. This weekend is my brother's engagement. If I use the iA mode to take pictures both outdoor and during the dinner function would be sufficient? If got any other recommended settings please let me know. Thanks.

Quite ugly looking compared to Leica brown case.

I do think the modification made to the right side of the camera made it easier to grab thus steadier while taking shot.

i bought a black unit for RM1590, with casing, 4GB SDHC, and screen protector.
forgot to ask for wrist strap lah !!! alamak ...

how much for those, and where to buy them?

any model will do? cz LX3 rather hefty compared to usual flimsy digicam.

still on the experimental front. using iA mode mostly, as aperture/shutter speed/metering all
sounds alien to me, currently.

hi sifus! after goin thru this forum for the past month i decided to purchase this lumix bcoz of all the wonderful shots from u guys. but the problem is, im a totally camera noob and im still tryin to play wif the settings n understand the usage each of them. can any sifu can tell me how did kevin7ae can zoom so close n capture the ant face (from the 1st page) and the other pics wif the child holding the little chicky, how do i focus on the chicky which is on the leftside of the photo and make the rest background blurry? and another example is if i would like to capture a close up shot of a water dripping from a paip, what kind of setting should i be using also? ive been spending alot of hours in my toilet now trying to get a clear shot sighhhh...... pls advice!!!

lastly, tonite ive to bring my gf and her mom to that big temple near banting so my gf ask me be prepare to take some nice pics. wat kind of settings should i use or i can jz use the iA mode for the shots?

My experience with the cam settings is.....
If u wanna do macro, use the widest aperture possible, so try to use f/2.0.
Then move ur cam as close as possible to the subject.
At f/2.0, ur minimum focus distance is 1cm, so u can get really really close.

For the bokeh (blur) effects, go to A mode (use f/2.0 for the best bokeh effects).
U need to play around with the manual focus for the best results.
AF sometimes can produce similar effects, but most of the time it does not focus on the thing u want.

To shoot dripping water, u need a fast shutter speed.
For me, I will go into S mode.
To freeze dripping water, u will probably need a shutter speed of 1/500s or above.
Ur shots might become dark at this kind of shutter speeds.
So u can either try to do it in ample lighting (outdoors), or bump up ur ISO which introduces noise.

Hope this helps in your cause wink.gif

Try firing the flash too. It 'freezes' the motion of the water so you get well-exposed droplets icon_idea.gif

Just got my LX3 from friend who COD with iamsobloodysick. I would say the camera is superb not only in terms of quality but also the appearance. My fellow girl friends are even attracted by this camera. Haha..

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but the first two pictures are badly out of focus.
And while I like the shiny water droplets, the random bright spots spoil the shot sad.gif

hi joyy! no prob, how can i improved more on the 1st n 2nd pic more? today is my first outing wif this camera and i think ive taken bout 800 pics lol but mostly all really sucky as i was tryin different settings for each shots. stil alot more training needed....

also there are alot of settings in the menu setting which i do not understand, and ive gone thru the manual but there dun really explain it, for example :

AF MODE - there is like 6 options in it, what is the usage for them?

PRE AF - wat is this?

AF/AE LOCK

AF Assist Lamp

---------------------------------------------------

At the lens area, there is 3 buttons which is MF , AF (with a flower) and AF. when should i be using tis at what type of enviroments? So far i been using the AF for near shots... as it seems giving me clearer focus on the object. also i was a complete failure when tryin to capture some pics during valentine dinner wif my gf jz now, all the pics are like very blurry and when i try to use flash the whole pic become very dull. any advice at wat setting i should be using during nite? sorry for so many questions, and thanks for any help given!

When ambient lighting gets bad, the camera might fire off an AF assist lamp to help with autofocusing.
For the closeup shots, maybe you could switch to Macro mode(The AF with the flower biggrin.gif) for closer focusing? And try not to move the camera around too much after it has already focused on the subject, or the final result could be out of focused shots. icon_idea.gif

1st shot: focus a bit soft, should focus a bit further.

3rd shot: Really nice~! I like the sparkle on the water droplets.
But the composition needs a bit of tweaking.

I find the manual focus in LX3 is really good. The best thing is that there's a magnified area in the middle of the screen to let you check where the camera is focusing on. I would say it allows you a deadly focus. That's really stunning! I love my LX3!

This is a shot taken with iA and AF (Macro aka "the flower"). I was stunned when I saw that so many details can be captured!

Do you guys always use the "dynamic" instead of "standard" in the film setting?

By the way, I have tried my lucks on the night sky. The picture was taken at light polluted football field. So, don't expect very good result.

From left to right, you can see Canis Major and Orion. The brightest star in the photo is Sirius (Dog star) which belongs to the Canis Major. You can even see the Great Orion Nebula when you zoom in this photo.

After looking at the EXIF file, I just noticed that my LX3 is running on the v1 firmware....

Just bought one today... RM1580 from Boeing Photo in Sg Wang. Really like the fella service. Bought an Olympus Tough from him too last month.

Package include SP, Toshiba 4GB SDHC and pouch. Really find it hard to travel down to Kajang to COD for RM30 cheaper. I went to Bintang Maju to enquire thanks to a forumer advise, but too bad the girl he meant wasnt there. The sales personnel all seem lcly like that. I went back to my regular shop. Better service is my priority.

You lar... shop so far away in Kajang. Really reluctant to go there la. Return journey to Kajang took more than 1hour le from Kepong.

Anyway, as I know, the speed of Pana SDHC is Class4 rite? Well, the Toshiba that I got is also a Class4 as well. Any difference in speed Im not sure but I dont really care too much about SD card speed. Maybe next time you can offer to COD in buyer place for extra fee of RM30 or so. Sure good business.

My initial finding:-

Really impressed with the IQ captured by this camera. When its using F2, it was able to lower to ISO much more compared to my T30 and yet are able to capture more details than the Sony. When I test the macro with my Edifier S2000 speaker which has a embossed Edifier word, again it was able to capture it, although not to the level I wish. However that being compared to the Sony which couldnt capture the wording at all. Still need to play around with the camera. MF is very hard to play with, AF is much easier. But the manual setting, really appreciate that it has such control and it will tell you the aperture + shutter speed combo will have the exposure at what value. One thing I find it hard to believe is how hard it takes to take a good macro pic.

Damn.. so tempted to get a LX3 now.... My oldddd Ixus 750 pales by light years in comparison...

I do quite a bit of hiking, so need a rather light camera, cannot have all those humongous DSLRs... The LX3 looks tempting. Any alternative cameras the sifus here can recommend?

BTW, how large are the photos taken at 10MP with superfine JPEG (at maximum settings how many pics can fit in the 4GB SD Card?)? Also how's the battery life on this?

The home-made aluminium barrel is nothing much to worry about. The aluminium itself is much stronger to hold the accessory attached to it.

No matter how light aluminium is, its going to be heavier than the plastic version made by Panasonic. Better safe than sorry. Already bought RM1.6k camera but cant afford <RM100 adapter meh? The lense can get normal one, but adapter better use original one.

No matter how light aluminium is, its going to be heavier than the plastic version made by Panasonic. Better safe than sorry. Already bought RM1.6k camera but cant afford <RM100 adapter meh? The lense can get normal one, but adapter better use original one.

Check this, the original adapter is made of aluminium too.

I believe this camera is a really rare find.
A camera which I believe will rewrite the way manufacturers will look at compacts.
If u need a compact and u have the cash for it, the LX3 really won't dissappoint.

hi, i looking for lx3 also, cause my camera too big, n sometimes lazy to bring out, even lazy to take out from bag...

so, i think smaller camera will do the job...

4 questions here before i buy:

1)if compare with DSLR, the picture quality very poor? can realize the different easily? (normally i just print out at 4R to A4 size.)

2)if add the lens adapter, the camera might became bigger?
still can fix into the original case?
cause i dunwan the lx3 became much bigger, casue for me i wan compact for the camera. i still will stick to SLR when shooting in event.

3)i heard tat lx3 going to stop producing due to the high cost. it is true?
i scare after i bought then the lx4 coming out. cause i not hurry for tis camera, but also scare if lack of stock if stop producing tis camera.

4)can suggest me a place in KL to get it? so far how much is the best price with the standard package? where can get extended warranty?

hope ppl bought it can share the answer, cause many ppl in the forum might need your advice n info...

really thanks!!

1. At low ISOs and good lighting, the difference is subtle. I will not(read never) say that the image quality is better than a DSLR, because however you like the LX3, it's sensor is still much smaller than that of a DSLR.

2. [lulz i dunno]

3. Nonsense. It's selling so well, and that translates into profit for Panasonic. So why the hell stop? doh.gif

1. I have no experience with DSLR yet. I don't think the quality will be a great difference between LX3 and DSLR under low ISO condition. Try to read the first page about the noise comparison between the LX3 and Sony A200.

2. Of course, the front will protrude. The casing the retail shop provides cannot fit in the LX3 with the adapter attached.

3. No, this is just a rumor. I've read that the Panasonic representative said that LX3 is not discontinued. It's just heavily back-ordered due to great demand.

4. My unit came with the 2 years warranty card. I bought mine last week. I bought from the member here, "iamsobloodysick", at RM1550 inclusive of the original package, 4GB Panasonic SDHC Class 4 memory card, one casing and Panasonic freebies (4 Heavy Duty Batteries & a blue bag).

Extended warranty is valid for Malaysia only. If you see the warranty card, it says there register online but the seller told me that its fine without registering online. Just keep the warranty card as there is a sticker there mentioning the 2 years warranty.

Dont think too much lor. Just like DSLR lor. It keep coming new one every year, how to keep up to date. Then again, how often do we came across a good compact camera after all these years?

Sounds like a very nice combo of accessories. Their products are interesting. I wonder if we can find a review online. The idea of 52mm filter is great as most of the DSLR filters are also in this format. Am I right?

Really? Since this is my first really nice digital camera I'll stick to the original accessories DMW-LA4+DMW-LPL46+DMW-LND46. The original Wide conversion lens really bites my wallet tongue.gif . If anyone are going to do bulk to buy from that fella I'll join in hehe.

ND filter necessary?
I dont really like to take photo with blur background. Maybe for water shot is okay. If confirm going to Redang, I think will get a polarizer before my trip. You ask lar whether can get cheaper if bulk together. Im interested in adapter and polarizer. ND I dont want la.

After doing some research on the adapter, I might rethink whether or not to buy the upgrade for CPL. It seem like quite troublesome to remove the adapter and reattach the original rim when I dont need the CPL. I was thinking of it like a easy to install/remove adapter when I wanted to take landscape pic.

Does anyone know that if there will be a compatibility issue when both the Ricoh LC-1 "auto lens cap" and adapter to 52mm present?

After checking the starry photos taken with the DSLR.. I'm poisoned again.. Luckily, the LX3 is enough to keep me busy for quite a long time. Its portability hold me from getting the DSLR. Haha~

Wait, nobody noticed the severe barrel distortion caused by the lens unprocessed? (Aka not in Silkypix/in-camera JPEG)

Using the newest Raw Developer should show how bad it is.

From what I read about the lens, if you aint using in-camera jpeg or raw software that has auto correction, not only the distortion is above 6 degree, some shots will have purple shade at edge as well. That's why I think I will stick to jpeg only.

Both Bibble and PhaseOne Capture One kick arse.

Capture One works with the Leica Digilux 4 (aka LX3 Premium), but not with the LX3 itself.


The JPEGs look rather muddy compared to the non-corrected RD file... you should have a better result using Raw Developer and then correcting the distortion in PS. But overall, I'm really surprised that it's not mentioned in reviews.

I got mine from dealextreme
Cost me US$10.80, includes free shipping from HK.
That comes to abt RM40.
Only bad thing is it took abt a month to get to me.
But overall it's ok. The batt is only 1,000mAh so not as long lasting as the original but worth it nonetheless.

Nope, it happened while i was using the Original one. The cheapo one is a spare...

QUOTE(RoxyGal @ Feb 24 2009, 01:22 AM)
open up the lx3 manual......as u cant see the lcd screen

follow the step by step...which button to press without looking at the lcd...so that u can set the lcd to manual brightness...dun use auto brightness

try and see

good luck

Thnks for the heads up RoxyGal.
It isn't a problem with the brightness cos the backlight is still on AFTER the screen flickered and went kaput.


Anyway,
My baby has been admitted to the Panasonic Service Centre for repairs...
Cross my fingers and wait for the good news.

hellfire: got it for 175 from a fellow forum member. got in classifieds I guess..can't remember her nick. A third party.

daruma: yes have to use the lens tube. the tube converts to 52mm then use the 0.45x Wide angle that's compatible with that. I'm sorry I can't provide pictures as it's the only cam I have for now.maybe I should snap in front of mirror...smile.gif

i read that teleconverter would make the aperture small. eg f2 become f4.
if wide converter applied , would it make f2 become f1.4?

naruto : not there. but i've seen it and i guess the wide angle looks the same. only the lens tube is not the same.

daruma: no, i dont think so. i think it's pretty much the same.

Yes, you got the idea right. You can get focal ratio by dividing aperture by focal length. For example, a 200mm aperture telescope which has a 2000mm focal length will have a focal ratio of f/10. By using the teleconverter, you increase the effective focal length by 1 fold whilst the aperture remains the same. So, the focal ratio increases by one fold too.

With the 0.45x wide converter, the f/2 will become f/0.95.

I hope I don't get them wrong. smile.gif

So smaller aperture will cause less light to come in but we can still compensate it by raising the ISO right?
Ahaks a noobie confusion laugh.gif smaller number bigger lights get thru.

Hur anyone want to starts a bulk on to get the adapter? really cant tahan la.

Tested the External flash on my LX3 ..work like charm!!! the AUTO TTL function is enable! Anyway it is my Olympus FL-36R flash.

and on the adapter...yeah the wide angle is nice to have but the trade off is the quality..ussually with these adapter on..u get purple fringing, CA, bad distortion and etc..

hmm still thinking on the leica casing for the lx3

I think he was attempting a HDR image. That'd explain the exposure throughout the picture.
But IMHO it's a little too saturated sad.gif

Hmmmm....I thought the max should be +-2?
Maybe I rememebered wrongly.
Anyway, it was the max +- setting in the bracket mode.

Normally I prefer manually setting the exposures to capture as much dynamic range as possible though....but that day didn't bring tripod. tongue.gif

You'd get parallax errors as the view you're looking at through the viewfinder isn't what the sensor 'sees'.
Either you've gotta learn how to compensate for the parallax, or I really doubt the need for one sweat.gif

but after a few hours playing with it, i still confuse which mode to choose to take a good pic; M, S, A, P or should i just use iA mode...
when i need to used these all manual mode?

sifus, really need your help....
please teach me.......

What mode you should use depends on the type of photography you're shooting.
Say you're shooting some action photography and you want to do some panning shots, in this case S mode would be the most suitable mode.
Or you could be shooting landscapes and wish to have a big depth of field, then you could switch to A mode to select a smaller aperture.

Not bad for a start~!
Try to play around more with the modes in the cam.
I like vibrant mode especially when the scenery has a lot of colors, e.g during a sunset.

As mentioned by a few guys here....."read the manual".
You can't avoid it~!
hahaha.... tongue.gif

Anyway....
Read the manual 1st dudes~!
If u dun even know what does aperture, shutter n iso mean or do, I suggest u go google it up.
These are really basic stuff but takes a whole lot of effort to explain.
Better u read it on ur own 1st.

After u have a few shots, post them up n let the guys comment.
This should b the correct learning process icon_rolleyes.gif

Personally, I use A mode more than any other modes.
Since one of the LX3's highlights is its f/2.0 leica lens, i normally open it max wide for portrait's n macro.
Gives u the fastest shutter and the best bokeh effects.

I use S mode for tricky shots with fast moving objects.
Set it to, lets say 1/200s and snap away.

M mode only for when I have the time n a steady tripod.

Try to take some not so ordinary pictures. I notice your sea level is slanting in some of the pics. Do take note of that.

Testing out the long shutter feature:

user posted image
10s, f/4.0, ISO 100

Playing wit depth of field. Obvous ka?

user posted image
1/25s, f/2.0, ISO 100

Wanna ask sifus, what's the difference b/w P mode and A mode? I can only change the f-number in P mode using the joystick, much like the same wit A mode. Menu also can change pretty much the same thing.

C&C welcomed.

So long never drop by here... miss you guys! very paiseh these days so busy till no time to play with LX3.

I see there's some new joinees here and they take some mean pics!

I've got a small suggestion, how about those who willing to share their Flickr/Picasa pics, to submit it to TS and have the link at the front page of thread? Easier to track the beauties that way.

For all I know, Program mode should not let u change aperture n shutter speeds. It auto selects n all u can do is set things like ISO.

At least that is how the P mode worked on my fren's 400D....

I need to go back try 1st, coz i really never used the P mode b4 sweat.gif


Anybody here owns the polarizer set for the LX3?
Price roughly how much?

P mode allows us to modify the aperture as well. By moving the joystick up and down, we modify the aperture and shutter as a whole. I have just checked my LX3 about the difference. I can't really find it out. The minor difference is that the screen is a bit clean for P mode as the shutter and aperture information are not shown before you half-pressed the shutter.

I took a quick glance at the quick menu. The options offered are the same for both modes.

So.. the game starts! Who can find out the difference~ rclxms.gif

Am I the first to 'discover' the ambiguity? LOL.

user posted image

1/10 s, f/2.2, ISO 200.

Is there a 'best' way to tweak white balance? Auto seem a little blueish at times, but sometimes it offers the best color. How 'white' is white? I aim at white region but it's only until approaching the last few dots only I notice the color change.

What is the ambiguity you mean here?

I think the option is to customise your own white balance. I am going to give it a try using Double A A4 paper. smile.gif

the wide adapter cost u around rm600 to rm700 which is a rip off i would say...not really worth it...at 24mm f2.0 it is already distorted heavily and plus a wide angle i am sure it will further distort the image..

a point n shoot at 24mm is good enuff..if u want wider with good quality go for slr...

Honestly I think the pricing has gone overboard.
The big camera bags for DSLRs are priced around RM399. And I already feel that they're overpriced.

I'm quite curious to know the appearance of the "original leather case". If it refers to the leather case we discussed before, then this is a really damn good bargain.

The camera detected the bright sky and decided to underexpose the image as it didnt want the sky to appear blown out. That meant that the bottom part of your picture, the water and land became underexposed. sweat.gif
Can't really blame the camera though, it's the lack of dynamic range of the image sensor as compared to our eyes smile.gif

Hey naruto~!
Thanks for the link~!
Anyway, the package u got seems to have a lot of *ehem* toys....
I just need the extention tube + polarizer.
Found one selling on e-bay for around USD25.
Translate to about RM100.
This includes an extention tube, polarizer & ND filter.

Anyway, I m going shopping tomorrow.
So I guess I'll drop by a few shops to see if they r selling.

It is not compulsory.
But then again, it would help stop malicious ppl from stealing your precious shots....
Imagine seeing your photo in a photo competition winning 1st prize, but then the person isn't you....but someone who stole and sent your photos.

This is what happened to our famous Malaysian blogger, Kenny Sia.
Someone stole his photo and sent it to a newspaper competition & won RM50 for it.

The LX3 has a tendency to "under-expose" a little.
So in certain situations, it is best if u dialed in a bit of +EV compensation.
1/3 or 2/3 should be enough.

Colors wise, u could try the "Vibrant" or "Dynamic" film modes.
They give much better colors compared to the standard one.

omg see here http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/20...converte_2.html

The last camera raw support update for CS3 does not include LX3 support. No estimate on when this may be available for Photoshop CS4 through Camera Raw 5. -TH

guess i hv to get CS4 if i wanna hv support on this but CS3 already start lagging my notebook..dunno if my nb can support up to CS4 or not..

well..guess luck is always like this..either i shot wif jpeg or use silkpix then rclxub.gif

MR LKM> Shining wind, it start as game actually XD
for watermarks, as additional to what PHCo said,
it actually mainly as a promote tool for either to promote your name or website.
until i am better in photography or when i have a web to promote, have water mark or not is not much diferent for now.
some watermark is easily removable, for example this three

with clone stamp this three watermark gone in less than 1 min lol

the only advantage owner have is high res of this pic when other don`t have. therefore for large screen print, copycat can`t print in high quality

Today I went to lowyat, sungei wang and midvalley to survey the latest price for LX3. So far I can only find one shop in lowyat sell it. The quoted price is RM 1499 with 4GB memory card. Why so little shop sell LX3? Is it because no demand?

Hahaha.. Roxygirl.. you're da man! Alright, so just to keep the size of the photos on the net to protect your copyright. Sounds like a good idea. Anyway, I have read about the watermark which is very hard to be removed in an IT magazine but I couldn't recall.

Dude, u have a function called "Highlight (HL)" on.
That is, the camera shows you where u have over-exposed highlights.
These blinking areas are nothing but "white".

To turn it off, press on ur menu button.
Go to "Setup" (press left then down, that is the spannar icon).
Then look for "Highlights".
Turn it off n u will stop seeing these blinking stuff.

Advertised on Panasonic website is 1150mah. However the real battery spec will show 1090mah. I also asked about this earlier. You know what Panasonic replied me?

The email I received said if my battery is CGA-S005E, then its correct. Else go back to the shop and claim it. In fact its the correct battery. Just that its stated there 1090mah (min). Not that I wanna poke Panasonic, but their reply is such a letdown.

No worries guys, both the batteries are fine! My original one that comes with the camera is 1090 mAh. The additional original batt I bought is 1150 mAh. Both are with the same batt model name: CGA-S005E.

As for the Ricoh lens cap (LC-1), you can get it from Subang Parade Fotokem for less than RM50.

Cheers!

if you are looking for some skills/technique in photoshop, i have a good reference for you.
i guess you guys should a look at it. it is a new trend ( at least to me ). haha.
the link below teach you how to make your photo into more 3d looking. quite hard to explain here.
it basically make your photo less depth and more contrast. take a look at it and maybe you guys can give much better definition than me.

Why not just buy it in Singapore, you can check out the singaporean forums. They seem to offer better packages there.

My brother bought his lx3 for about RM1600 but with a nice case (not the pvc type pouches most of us are getting), sd card and extra batteries.

THere are some effects by the polariser that cannot be replicated in Photochop.
Like reflection control. Sure, you might be able to remove reflections using PS, but you cant include desirable reflections.

I just ordered a set of linear polarizer from e-bay.
Should arrive in 5~10 days.
Will test them out (maybe in Taiwan) and let u guys have a look.
The lens set really not that expensive n worth investing....especially the polarizer.
Polarizer + UV filter + extention tube = ~RM100. icon_rolleyes.gif

Usually polariser is used to take sky picture as it tend to make the sky look dark blue than pale blue or to reduce glare when taking water or other reflective surface like glass.

Dude, use ur LX3 to the fullest 1st.
From the LX3, u will learn tons of knowledge about photography.
Prepares you for the next step, if u r truly interested.

I would've waited much longer b4 I bought a DSLR bcoz I was truly content with the LX3.
But a close fren of mine gave me a proposal I couldn't resist....
That's why I ventured on laugh.gif

Most probably Malaysian custom. Haha~

I have 3 finger prints on my LX3 now.. and around 8 on my LX90.. Damn it.. Have you guys heard of Purosol Optical? I've bought a bottle of that cleaner. I'm going to clean my telescope and lx3 soon. I just need a blower now.

If you guys are interested in Purosol Optical, I can organise a bulk to buy from US.

Hi guys.
Any recommend shop selling in JB, will be going Singapore PC show this Friday to check it out. biggrin.gif

I recommend Foto CLS at Pelangi Leisure Mall. Good service there. They even carry Leicas there if you're interested.
Also try Mee Too at Plaza Angsana, old shop great reputation, or alternatively their branch at Tebrau City.

I think the PC show in Sgp will usually quote SRP but with more freebies.

Make good use of the manual controls.
Especially the WB.
I find the LX3 to have tendency to go yellow n green.
I like my photos to have more red in them.
So I made my own color profile in the film modes.
Very useful really.

Vibrant isn't always suitable.
When there are ppl, it tends to make their skin tone over saturated.
But when it comes to scenery with lots of lights and colors....vibrant really helps bring out the feel of the scenery wink.gif

wohoo..the parcel from yamiya finally reach my house today!
i was waiting for the lens pen cos my careless colleague leave his finger print there ( my heart stopped for few seconds when i notice the finger print and scream OMG! )
i immediately use the lens pen to clean the lens after i open the parcel..haha
lucky is not scratches..phew...
here is the pic to share with you guys  biggrin.gif

For me, the best way to get rid of finger prints and dust ...is...
putting a lens tube with UV filter then never take it out anymore...
hahaha...my practise is the practise for lazy ppl...

Whoa.. Allic.. the tripod has such a high resistance against the moist rock?

8s without silky effect? Mind to show us your work? I think only calm water won't produce that effect.

i think the gpod strength is you can wrap it around any surface..trees branch, polls, etc.. thus eliminating the need for a full length tripod...

Anybody tried the gorillapod on your head? Haha... The only problem I can think of is at the grassland. It has to be replaced by a conventional tripod.

How much does this monster cost?

anyone bought the hoteshoe cover for their LX3???

Original Nikon Accessory in box ~ Nikon BS-1 fits into the hot shoe of all Nikon SLR cameras and helps to keep dust, rain drops and moisture out from the hot shoe. It helps reducing chances of RUST on the hotshoe!

Today I went to lowyat, sungei wang and midvalley to survey the latest price for LX3. So far I can only find one shop in lowyat sell it. The quoted price is RM 1499 with 4GB memory card. Why so little shop sell LX3? Is it because no demand?

I need one really soon, as in tomorrow....hahah....

At the first time I consider to buy Fz28, but after reading your comments here now I am very enthusiast to buy LX3. Now still searching which shop that could give me the best price. Hope can join the "LX3 family" too.

Ok, i got the black LX3 from the shop Amara Beta in Lowyat Plaza.
RM1599 with 4GB, case and mini tripod...i didnt bother to ask for discount since i was in a hurry.

The people in the shop were friendly and professional. They know nuts about cameras but they were professional in their sales....all LX3s are still sealed with panasonic seals and they will open it only when u wanna buy it.

anyway, the camera is not with me now, my mum took it to hong kong with her...

I just found out that Olympus flash works with the LX3 with TTL as well...i have an FL50 lying around....will try it when my mum gets back...took some pictures of it with the fl50 before giving it to my mum...
