Hi all, please help to provide C&C for above photos.
Both taken using Multi-exposure mode - attempting to create HDR photos.
Tripod is being used.

- My question here -> Is it blur? What do you think of the picture in overall & in quality? Thanks ...

I would say this is a great shoot.. might need other pro to comments.. :thumbsup:
 

Just to check...

Is the AF of LX3 good in low light condition (normal flouescent light in a bedroom)?
I've a LX3 but is having problem focusing "pin point" on objects.
AF is set to 1 point focus and a high contrast object is choosen.
However, the LX3 seems to focus on the back ground instead.
Need to resort to MF.
Btw, focus assist is off.

My GF1 can AF accurately with no problem at all.

Thank you
 

(Question!! :cry:)

I noticed that my LX3 in low light condition (I think), when i press shutter to take photo it will like be slower in the shutter speed.

Initially i thought i played too much on setting, so i did a master reset (layman's actions haha) to the whole camera ... but after that still again slow shutter speed.

- Can i check with users here!! Do you face the same problem?

Is it any of the settings?
i am thinking it might be the auto ISO setting?
Sighz ... low light condition like restaurant and pub. .. photos end up always no quality ..
what should i do ???
 

What mode did u use? It might be that you set your ISOmax to a low value and any adjustment to your exposure compensation?
 

hi everyone

not sure if this is relevant to post..
i am interested in getting a good compact digital camera.. mainly for shooting pictures of my dog.. and candids when i go out with my friends ...
is lx3 a good choice? if not what will you pple recommend?

i used to own an lxus 60 but i realised canon is always upgrading its ixus series...
 

I think LX3 is great, I saw few bloggers using it and the outputs were great! that's why i've decided to get it too! :D

Nice thread, especially from the previous Part I thread. Really helped me to decide whether to get a LX3 or not. Good stuff
 

[Shutter Timing Problem]

Oh great! I think i am a problematic LX3 user! ...
Pardon me for another query here as i really headless what is happening.

I had itchy hands that like to change settings on my LX3.
When i am LOST inside it, i will conveniently do a MASTER RESET to the settings.

Recently i noticed that after some hot day shoots playing with aperature range and ISO, during night time i take photo the outcome is like weird! SO i did a master reset again!!

Since then, i noticed that my shutter speed is like out of control.
Be it in bright daylight or dim condition, my shutter is like 1/3, 1/2.5 type of timing.
Tat does result in blur image outcome.

Please help to advise if this is normal?

I am using A mode!
The problem is if i try using iA mode, the shutter speed is faster ....
Oh ... i am truthfully lost. ...
:dunno:

Anyway ways i can troubleshoot it.? thanks all.

Hi fellows, may I know why in face detection mode, 1 of the focus spot is marked with a yellow border whereas the rest are white borders?
