Noel,
Can you explain the timed shutter release for the V-Lux?

Cheers,
Pete.

Hi Pete,

I ment the self timer 2s or 10s setting .. to avoid any camera movement during slow shutter speeds .. think i had this at 10sec exposure .. iso1600 ..
with some PP sharpening and contrast/brightness adjustments .

Regards
Noel

Right, I was wondering if there is a way of doing long, timed exposures; like you can on a "real" camera.
Presumably this would mean some sort of remote add-on gizmo because the shutter speeds. .................. Just read the manual and it seems you can't keep the shutter open using the remote release, but......

.. there is a thing called "Starry sky mode" (for goodness sake Leica, get a grip) which allows exposures up to 60 seconds.

So, it's back to the box Brownie and Speed Graphic then.

Cheers,

Pete.

Betrays its origins, Pete...

Candle Light
Fireworks

and ..... High Sensitivty modes! I though that last one was just for M8 owners

Nice one Pete

Yeh 60secs is the max exposure time i can find on the V-Lux .. i tryed that starry sky setting with the 8sec exposure ..its a total waste of time ..everything overexposed .. back to the old manual 35mm i think and a good old fashioned TTL bright and clear viewfinder .. at least you can focus with confidance compared to the EVF ..
