Great tips… I too am very interested in all your advice - thanks very much.

I have recently bought a new digital camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ3) with a 10 x optical zoom which is great. On the camera it has an ISO button and upon reading the book - it says if you are taking photo’s of moving objects to use this which puts the camera on ISO 800 speed (I saw that in a previous post you said you use 400), I can change it to 400, but the book recomends the 800 spped for objects that are moving - so was just wondering why you say you use 400?

I too was in SLC (we spoke about being aloud to take photos just before the show when the venue originally said no, then again not long after the show started when the staff, after you spoke to them, then said we could take them - thanks!!) and did manage to get some good photos, but some were out of focus…. as you say above - when you look back at them, they look like they are good on the small screen on the camera, but actually they are a bit blured. But as I said - I did get some good ones and some with good coloured lighting too!

One thing though my flash is always on and it is automatic with this setting and I can’t work out a way to turn it off! (Read what you said before about the flash) Doesn’t seem to be a way!

One last question - why do you recommend making two CD archive’s of photo’s as opposed to one? Might seem a silly question - but if you have them on the PC and a disc - then that is cover in case one goes wrong!

Sorry this is so long - would have e-mailed you direct - but didn’t know where to!
