GoldieLocs Posted June 16, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted June 16, 2007 I wish I could help. But my question has to do with your acquisition of the brown leather case. From where did you get it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_B1 Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share #3  Posted June 16, 2007 Hi Here in the UK it comes as a package so when you buy the D-Lux 3 it comes with it, but then again at £490 it should do.  Regards  Kevin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsmithor Posted June 18, 2007 Share #5  Posted June 18, 2007 Thanks for the link to:  Why ask me? I'm an amateur.: Leica Talk Forum: Digital Photography Review  Being a new user to the D-Lux 3, digital photography in general (with it's plethora of menu offerings and controls) one can easily be overwhelmed. This is an excellent starting point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsjxyz Posted June 18, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted June 18, 2007 D-Lux 3's ISO above 400 is really2 bad. Â So instead of setting to 800, you might want to shot RAW at 200 EV-2 and edit in Photoshop Later. You gain the light but having less grain. Â JSJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted June 18, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted June 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Set it to a 100 RAW. RAW aint rocket science, and go up ISO from that only if you cant afford the movement of the subject across the frame. Part from that shoot the same picture in all the different program modes then view the exif data and work out why the manufacturer sets teh camera up like that in whichever program mode. Mnfr understands the camera better than anyone else and you will get a good idea of the cameras strengths and limitations from what he thinks. Forget about manual focus. Sure, zone focus using the depth of field indicator in MF if you need to, but you wont beat the AF accuracy. The AF is quick, learn to use and trust it. Search for guys like Wayne Pease site for the creative stuff. Have fun. Dont be frightened of gluing neoprene bumpers on the body so you can hang on to when slippery.
