Micro 4/3 Showcase Panasonic LX100 I/II picture thread

LOL Thanks for that info, Martin. I tend to only go looking for solutions when I have a problem. I haven't actually read the manual :blush:
I've owned two LX100's, I've always used the direct access option that changes the cursor to directly control the AF points. Actually I use it on every Panasonic body. I tend to use P.A.S. and only rarely use full manual so I use auto ISO. I change the WiFi to drive mode since I never use it. I also only rarely change WB so having the dial set to direct focus works the best for me.

I seem to have a thing for glass.

When I read your comment it evoked a question to myself, "What do I have a thing for?" Looking back at what I've posted here and Flickr the answer seems to be trees. Indeed, I am attracted to trees.
But, these postings are a small sample of my photography. Most of my current pictures are of my grandchildren in action. These are only posted on a controlled viewers site. I do love them much more than any tree!!
 
I like so much of what I see from this camera - I'd love to own one. But my thing seems to be shooting people more often than glass (and for glass, the RX1 works awfully well too) and the LX100 is missing at least two features that are absolutely essential for the way I shoot. So I'll never own one. But every time I check into this thread I'm impressed and wish it met my needs better than it does...

I may not own mine for much longer but I have enjoyed it, for sure :) It works for other things than glass, as well.

Whats missing, for how you shoot, Ray?

Two things. One, an auto-ISO setup with good minimum shutter speed control. Two, and this is something that the LX5 and LX7 had a pretty nice version of, a good distance scale when in manual focus to facilitate zone focus... There are just too many good cameras around today with at least adequate versions of both of these features for me to go with something that doesn't have both, let alone neither. Not that either of these features are particularly important for most photographers, even lots of street shooters. But I seem to have developed a way of shooting on the street that's real dependent on both...

We’re having an early spring snowfall and once again Mighty Dorothy is being coated with snow. Here’s a shot with the Impressive Art filter, late afternoon low light (ISO 200, f1.7, 1/60)
