All have their rights and to take good pictures; the experienced amateur photographer, the aperture and shutter speed yourself will determine, as well as those who want to just-and-shoot. Most motifs are usually unexpected and so appears to me the quality of a digital camera in auto mode. Our tests were very satisfactory. The razor-sharp snapshots, the Zoom a real pleasure and even backlit scenes without a flash brought good results. In Auto mode (camera icon) succeed even close. If we take in EXR AUTO mode close to an object approach to eg the dewdrops on a flower photograph, the camera automatically switches to the Macro mode 'a. The result was in the test a good and sharp close-up, however, the color rendering showed slight variations. The same red flower with manual Scene select "'Flower' 'on the other hand brought a precise color reproduction. However, at a distance of 2 cm sharpness and contrast were not as good as in the macro shot. This example shows that it is worthwhile to try out the various settings of the camera. In EXR AUTO mode, the camera switches between different settings sometimes rapidly back and forth. Then it takes a little patience and a steady hand until the automatic opt for a choice of motifs. Why you in manual choice of motifs (SP1 / SP2) provides a separate after cats and dogs recording mode, it is not clear. Very useful, however I feel the night mode and the "LOW PRO Light" function (in Advanced Mode) for sharp images twilight. Besondes nice is the ability to save your own settings in a user-mode (C). So other users can safely experiment without my personal settings to delete.
Worth mentioning is the good image and sound quality seems to me still when shooting. Depending on your needs, you can film in space-saving Internet Quality (youtube) or high definition. that you also may make individual photos during filming in Toll. It is therefore advisable to calculate generous when buying a memory card. What I like: In Advanced mode, there is the possibility of 4 images to make one. A press of the shutter is sufficient, and there are four photographs taken in quick succession, and to an image zusammengefügt.So succeed pictures even in dim light (churches or Musueen with flash-ban) excellently. CONCLUSION: A very powerful, handy and versatile camera that prepares the whole family joy. Even after a year of intensive use, this camera is working properly - even though she has already gotten some bump.
