Trying out the new camera - Photo heavy post
Sunday, 1 October 2023 20:10Ah, so my Panasonic LUMIX G died. hm... if I want to be really technical about it, the display monitor's dead. I can still switch the camera on. I can still take photos on it. I just couldn't see the photos or click on the menu and change the settings from the screen. I'd have to take the SD card out, connect it to the phone or computer then read the photos there. So... if I really had the patience, I could probably still use that camera. But in preparation of my upcoming trips, and seeing my Hong Kong Dollars account having some extra "fun hobby money", I decided to get myself a new camera. Nikon Zfc. Ugh. But the size of it is double that of my old one. And it's got a kazillion functions. The display and UI on the Nikon is vastly different and it's getting a little tough to get used to. The easiest UI I find on these cameras is on the Canon. Let's see if I can get used to the Nikon in these few weeks.
So far I've been mainly only using the automatic [A] setting and maybe the program [P] if there's a little more stuff I'd like to change. I still couldn't figure out where the control for the aperture and shutter speed are. I've found te exposure dial and after today's trip out I've gotten used to it.
Ah, don't preach to me that I can just read the user manual LOL. Who really reads the user manual? At least until there really is something to troubleshoot. I'm just gonna muck around the controls and see what is what and then get used to them.
Two nights ago, on the actual night of the "Mid Autumn Festival", people went out to light lanterns, have some kind of nighttime out door picnic and all that. I went up to the rooftop for some photo taking. I had a paper lantern too but it was too windy to take a good shot, and I hadn't figured out the best night time settings yet.

Soooooooo. The camera was fun. I still haven't totally figured out the camera. I should take it out a couple more times in the coming days. But here's this bonus tour around downtown Macau. Hope you enjoyed!
