I said I wasn't going to post photos from the new camera up until I was done with the energy storage stuff but eventually I just gave up for today. I have the whole thing outlined and I've already typed up about half... and when I see the quality of the stuff my co-author wrote, I have a feeling that this will never be over because of all the final editing.
In any case, is Gali friends already with the new camera? Yes! Very much so. We're still not on very good terms when it comes to social situations. I'm not familiar enough with the settings when light changes too fast and when people move a lot. I'm learning though. I'll be training hard.
For static situations, it's much easier. I really love the manual focus. Heck, there is even an option for a "auto focus coupled with manual"... I suppose it's good but manual is still the best.

This is probably the second or third photo I took. I must say that it's true that the camera is very easy to use right away, much easier than any DSLR I've seen so far.

With just one turn you can go from having auto shutter and aperture to just auto one of them or to manual both of them. I can't remember what I was testing in the above photo. Perhaps it was just the ISOs.

 There is an "art" setting where you can have filters applied. I tried some but I doubt I'll ever use them, they slow the camera down a lot.

I'll probably never give up on Panasonic camera because I've used it almost daily for more than two and a half years and I know all its little quirks and where it is best used. This E-P1 one is still going to come pretty handy just because it's so easy to focus and to choose the settings that you want.
Now I just need to practice, practice, practice. I'll have to go do some night shoots this week so I'm ready for Korea and its night life!

Date: 2010-06-14 04:34 am (UTC)I make lists of everything these days. It makes my work so much easier! For the shop too I tend to have one because I'll always forget something... I'm getting old :D But really, lists are a must if I want to get the job done.
