SZ-30: Lighthouse

It looks much the same as the original except that it has been cropped. That is about 1/4 of the frame at full optical zoom. I did sharpen it very slightly after the resize but only really put back what was lost in the resize - all done in Oly Viewer 2.

This one was taken at full optical plus digital zoom of 3.52 (whatever that means) and does look a bit fuzzy sooc but with quite a bit of sharpening still looks OK. The starling was singing a sparrow song!

It helps to have bright sunlight; it's been a while since I've been able to use full zoom and 1/800th of a second exposure. During the winter I've been resorting to HHS mode and the results can be good but bright light definitely gives sharper images.
