LX5 – prvi vtisi

Omenil sem že, da sem v paketu zgodnjih novoletnih daril dobil tudi Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5. Dva dni sem ga pridno preizkušal v slabih svetlobnih pogojih na eni programerski konferenci in rečem lahko samo – matr, kakšen odličen fotoaparat! Pozor – ob kliku na spodnje slike se bo odprl posnetek v originalni velikosti (tipično okoli 3700 x 2500 pik), velik kakih 5 MB.

I have already mentioned that I’ve found a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 camera in my early Christmas package. Last two days I was testing it in pretty bad lightning conditions (indoors, mixed daylight and artificial light) and I can say only one thing – what a great camera! Be warned – linked to images below are original 5MB pictures (approx 3700 x 2500 pixes).

Hotelska soba. 1/25 sec, f/2,0, ISO 400. Belina je malce mimo – kljub večeru zunaj ni bilo tako modro – a vseeno zelo dobra.

Hotel room. 1/25 sec, f/2.0, ISO 400. White balance is slightly off (it was late in the evening but the outside world was definitely not that blue).

Detajl iz zgornje slike. Šuma je kar nekaj, ampak je tak lep, »analogen« in se ga da zelo lepo odpraviti. Če ga pustiš, pa tudi ne moti kaj dosti.

A detail from the above image. Quite some noise can be seen but it has an “analog” feel and doesn’t hurt the picture. It can be reduced quite easily with a noise-removal tool

Nogometaši med treningom v nalivu. Posneto s fotoaparatom, naslonjenim na okensko polico. 1/5 sec, f/3,3, ISO 800. V resnici zelo šumeče, a zlomka – na tej sliki se vidi igrišče bistveno bolje, kot sem ga videl s prostim očesom.

Footballers training in heavy rain. Camera was supported by the window frame. 1/5 sec, f/3.3, ISO 800. Quite noisy but you can actually see more detail on this picture than I could with my naked eye.

Posneto na večerji. Umetna luč, posneto iz roke, seveda brez bliskavice. 1/25 sec, f/2,0, ISO 100. Super slika, zelo dobra belina, edino obrazi so malce roza, a to bi se dalo zelo dobro popraviti.

Dinner time. Artificial light only and white balance, picture taken without any support. 1/25 sec, f/2.0, ISO 100. Great photo, very good white balance except that faces are slightly pink.

Tudi pod umetno lučjo, a drugačno. Belino sem popravil ročno, ker jo je avtomatika popolnoma zgrešila, nastavitev za umetno svetlobo pa tudi. 1/20 sec, f/2,0, ISO 400.

Another artificial light photo. This time the automatic white balance got it all wrong and the “tungsten” setting didn’t help either so I had to manually correct the whites. 1/20 sec, f/2.0, ISO 400.
