Hi,
I'm new to the hobby of both birding and photography.
I've recently purchased a FZ18 with the Olympus TCON17 and a decent tripod from Velbon.
There are so many setting son this FZ18 that I would like to know if somebody is willing to share his setings with me. I've seen some fantastic pictures taken but for the moment I'm having problems to even come close.
Especially with the focus and keeping the camera still.:-C
Therefore I would like to know e.g. :
As you can see I have a lot of questions and I will be thankfull to anybody who wants to share his experience with me.
Thanks a lot!

Therefore I would like to know e.g. :
- Do you use a tripod? If not, tips on how to keep the camera still?
- Do you use the EZ5MP or EZ3MP or just the maximum on 8MP?
- ISO (auto or ???)
- Auto focus or Manual?
- Which stabilization mode do you use?
- Settings for Contrast, Sharpeness, etc...
- iA, Scenes, A, P, ... ??
- From whih distance do you take the pictures
- Do you use something like photoshop to sharpen the pictures?
- ...
As you can see I have a lot of questions and I will be thankfull to anybody who wants to share his experience with me.
Thanks a lot!
