I did find the AE lock button, but in my haste to get the shot often forget it. Anyway I should practice on my feeder birds at home before taking it along on a casual walk. It would be so much easier to carry than the 7 lb of "serious glass" as someone called my big camera.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-57509823548375781362009-08-25T11:11:00.680-04:002009-08-25T11:11:00.680-04:00A few weeks ago you left me a comment on the use o...A few weeks ago you left me a comment on the use of the fz28. I only had this camera for a few weeks now, so I would be a fool to try to give you some advises (your pictures are so much better than mine!!!), but here is a few tricks I learned from the time I was digibinning (with a simple P and S camera and my binoculars) :<br /><br />- I usually take a burst of 3 pictures (or more). That increases my chance to catch a good one. Plus the last 2 are usually less blurry because there is no vibration due to the pressure of your finger on the camera button (I don't use a tripod)<br /><br />- Did you read page 33 of the manual? It explains how to lock the autofocus on a moving object (by pressing "AF/AE lock"). This option is really the reason why I choose this camera. <br /><br /><br />I use a lot the simple iA MODE, or the P mode.<br /><br />Hope this help a little bit. I like your blog!!!!Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137501980898703974noreply@blogger.com
