not bad snakeman.
Montyette just read the instruction a couple of times so you know what all the features are. well that what I did, then experiment with different angles when you take shots like lying on the ground or from the side you get some interesting shots, and the one thing everyone doesnt seem to realise is that a good photo doesnt mean the object/reptile needs to be in the middle put it about 1/3 to one side or mix things up a bit.

it doesnt have an underwater caseing.. i wanted one for my thailand trip but unfortunately that is the only downside to the camera... but yeah extra lenses would be ideal gets some fantastic macro shots. But still not a bad camera at all 10x optical is awesome

and one of the most basic but most forgotten things people dont do when taking photos is KEEP STILL! trust me even a slight amount of movement shows up with these awesome digitals coming out. use a tripod if your too shakey.
But from some of the photos ive seen on here I dont think anyone has problems taking shots.. or the ppl who dont post pics too scared of criticism!! GOTCHA!

Browns if you just want to zoom in then this is how you do it. (Ihave the same camera as you)
After you take the photo you want to zoom in on, switch the camera to the green play buttin to look at your photos that you have taken.
Once the first one comes up hit the menu buttin and then go across to the crop button on the screen.
Then using your zoom on the camera zoom in on the area you like and then hit menu/ok and it will save the picture as the selected shot you chose as well as keeping the original.
Goodluck
| Thanx heaps pugsly a;; the tips are very much appreciated,I had no idea you could crop the image on the camera itself....there's so many functions and heaps to learn.I stll find pics taken in dappled light or night time with flash turn out much better and more true to colour than on a nice sinny day which is actually best to take a pic just as a cloud comes over,for some reason the pics turn out much better.I might try some black and white shots to see how they turn out for some fun.
With a good camera like the onnes we have there should be no need for photoshop etc,the pics should turn out smick!what i also find is when you get up to say 4times zoom and over i can never get a clear pic let alone using the whole 10 x optical zoom.Any hints on that pugsly,i'm taking all of this in and applying it don't worry bout that?

OK,that's it,now you've created a monster  
This pic is almost good enough to go on the cover of a book...not too far from the pic on the cover of POTW  
trial run... 
Just another one before i knew you could crop on the cam just for the hell of it seeing as it's pretty quiet and slow lately

there ya go mate AWSEOME shot that first one the detail is great! see simple as!
As to the zoom, well I dont usually zoom at all when taking photos of my snakes and beardies I just hit the 'Macro' button (the the little flower appears) and get as close to the reptile as possible takes a much more detailed pic like the first one you shot.
Keep up the good work we want MORE MORE MORE!

Yup these Fuji cams are great the only thing I can't do with mine is understand the instruction manual! Don't worry though as soon as I find the section in the manual that tells you how to turn it on I will post some pics |

They do have a help line you can call but i found them no help and i only read enough of the instructions to work out how to turn it on and use macro hehehe the manual is jsut way too much nfo to retain for me....might get some more pics in a while for some more practice :wink:
