Hi eow! When taking shots in such bright background behind the kids, try using your flash, and set the flash power down a bit depending on distance, it will give you a bright clear background and the kids will be bright and clear too.
hey eow..fz1 user too right? same here.. where did u get ur wcon 7 from?
any comments about the wcon lens? got problem fitting or using..cuz the piece of yellow info sheet that came with the fz1 manual says not supposed to mount ANY conversion lens with fz1 because its too heavy and may drop or some reason lah..dunno boy.....
i was a little shocked when i dug up my manual few days back and spotted the warning...
the olympus no prob with wcon[07] however for the tcon (17)thread is quite thin..the 55mm thread does not stay in my case i use together with the 55mm uv filter better fit and stability
caution.. once fit with the tcon..handle it gently, the original cheapo tube extension is quite filmsy. strongly believe the thing will crack if handle too roughly
