Light source is the just the strong morning sun. I took this shot before I go to work.

I notice that when I use the "centre weighted average" for metering on my FZ20, the exposure is much better with no over-exposure.

No wonder, it looks very natural. Look at the shadow on the petals! Just like what we see naturally..... It's a natural beauty. Good one!

Maybe they already have firmware, but how would you know 'cos you can't check your firmware version on the FZ20.

Called them up and they say it is a trade secret. What bloody nonsense!!

Do you think you want to organize a trip to your garden?

You are most welcome Jimdavis, but you will be disappointed at how small it is.

Somemore from my little garden.

Nope, it was a firmware update 'cos that's how I bought FZ1 and made it FZ2.

FZ20 becomes FZ30? (My chat with the Panasonic SGP guy, Keith, tells me that they already have a firmware update which they don't want to let out of the bag). I can sense it.

Previously they had one for the FZ10 'cos back then I could check my firmware for my FZ10. Now I can't for the FZ20.
