New firmware for Panasonc LX3

Written by Joseph on January 17th, 2009

Firmware version 1.2 has been released for the Panasonic LX3.

Improvements are listed as:

  1. Improved white balance flash mode setting when DMW-FL220 is connected.
  2. Proper setting of shutter speed on iA mode and Scene mode when OIS is turned ON.
  3. Proper Exif information in the JPEG picture file.

Considering I haven’t had any issues relating to these I’m not expecting to notice any differences, however being a compulsory upgrader I ran the upgrade anyway :) Only issue being the battery was at 2/3rds capacity according to the indicator, and unless the battery is fully charged you don’t even get prompted for the upgrade, sneaky!

 

A photo a day for 2009

Written by Joseph on January 6th, 2009

To challenge myself to be a better photographer I decided to embark on a “Photo A Day” adventure for 2009.

I’ll see how the first month goes, however all being well I’ll be able to keep it up and do the whole year.

Wish me luck :-)

 

Rundle Street & Mall

Written by Joseph on January 3rd, 2009

Got a few hours away from the kids last night thanks to the inlaws!

Had dinner in Rundle Street with Michael & Pris and then went for a walk shopping in Rundle Mall afterwards. We were window shopping, the girls were actual shopping, our poor credit cards :-)

I had the LX3 with me and managed to take a few pics and video which I put together in iMovie when I got home.

Indoor Cricket

Luca had his first try at cricket yesterday. It was a hot Boxing Day and while the real cricket on TV was at lunch, we setup in the hallway with a plastic cricket set :-)
