A funny thing happened to me on the way to the forum

[Moire]

Ha Ha Ha, a clip from the video, I am the alien in the photo, hey I am just starting to learn how to use this stupid phone.

So does that make Moire a Robodot sock puppet? It certainly fits.

It would seem that one person may have two user names.

It looks like the Lumix I purchased has "scene detection" so i guess someone does make it.

Hello!

We like to call that "Scene Intelligent Auto" mode, otherwise known as "Full Auto," "Auto," "A+," or "Green Box" mode, depending on the camera you're using. 

Most modern Canon models can typically ascertain the best shooting conditions for you when you're in automatic. If you're using a Canon camera, and you've got questions, let us know.

yes very similar, never really thought about those settings until now.

manual mode raw, its not hard, but I cannot spend a lot of time in front of a pc screen post editing for noise, color, sharpening etc. (vertigo) or having to sort through hundreds of photos for a usable one or two. My current 60d and 300mm is not focusing over 50 feet from the subject, even with a tripod so?

thinking outside the box, i am going to try video photography for BIF with the lumix.  take the artistic still photos with an dslr or mirrorless, flowers, birds, wildlife and landscape (not interested in portrait or cityscape).

been looking for something better, maybe a d500 with a good 18-250?

"maybe a d500 with a good 18-250?"

Good luck!  There is no such thing as a "good 18-250"!

Thanks for the really good suggestions, good bye!
