Now I am going to have to do a search for "back button focus". Just back from the Smoky Mountains and hoping I got some better shots. Will try to get through some of them tomorrow.

They do look allot like many of my images don't they? Wonder what mode she was using?

Agreed on the manual! I bought a printed manual to help me. I find it helps to have something I can hold and refer back to easily. I will continue my efforts to practice and learn this camera as I ...

Thanks for all your courteous and helpful information. It truly is much appreciated! Often times, it seems, I am told I should know this or that or read the manual etc. You are a good teacher and ...

Do you have any suggestions as to where the metering mode should be?? Your help is much appreciated. I am headed out tomorrow and hoping to get some good fall leaf pics and am thinking I may have ...

I thought my shutter speed was to slow but I assumed it was because of it metering wrong. I had an idea the shutter speed was to slow. I may have been able to do better with a tripod but didn't ...

Keep trying to learn more and more. Recent trip to Rocky Mtn. Nat. Park. Lower light conditions. I thought I had some great shots and they turned out not as great as I was hoping. I tend to shoot ...

Thanks, I had and still have it on MP4(LPCM). Really don't know why other than someone on a youtube video said that is where he liked his. Perhaps I should try a different setting there? Don't ...

Thanks for all your time and the tips! I was afraid I messed up my chances of hearing the Elk bugling and (sounds) like I did!

Thanks! Do you have any suggestions for all the various settings? In Sound Output, I don't know whether I want Realtime or Recsound? Should silent operation be on or off? How about mic level adj.? ...

yes!

I tried that too. No sound do I hear. How do I check audio settings?

I recorded in MP4(LPCM). I have tried playing on my computer and not getting any sound. I will see if I can hear anything playing it on my camera. Just tried listening within my camera and not ...

Hmmm, I guess I assumed that having it on silent mode would prevent the sound from being recorded?

Yes, it was on!! Guess that was the problem! Maddening!  My stupidity causes me more problems! Thanks!

As usual, I managed to probably screw something up regarding my movies in my FZ2500. I thought I had captured some nice sounds of bugling Elk in Colorado but when I try to play it back I hear NO ...

It would help people like me. Another thing that would help people like me is to explain how you do things on a step by step basis but since most people already know, I guess that would probably ...

You are all way ahead of me. I have no idea what LTSB is!

Interested in this thread and have been reading same. What do you mean by adding 12.00 Elements+app to give you tons of functions that are otherwise only available in the full photoshop?? I am ...

Sooo, in a nutshell, are you saying to just go ahead and use the backup software on my Seagate drive? Forget about the free software or Windows backup? Thanks!
