Took the camera over the allotment Saturday, suprised the garlic has popped up quite so fast, its only been in less than 2 weeks. Still not complaining!!! I think there are about 40 little gems popped up in total.

Last post from me about my new toy. Very pleased with the macro facility, having 7.2 megapixel images allows you to cut the photo to show pictures from within the picture.
Hope you like.
DD ;)

I mentioned one nice thing about the Fuji 5600 - the zoom.

Pity I didn't use a tripod!! Distance? About 3/4 mile.

Hi Tim, my cousin has the very same camera. His photos have improved so much.
Seems to me not so much camera shake(slow shutter on large zoom lens). Looks to me its focusing on the building and tree to the right. If you can set the focusing point manually to just the center, could improve your distance photos.
When on auto focus it usually focuses on the nearest point the live sensors cross.
If you do experience camera shake in future try and remember to use a shutter speed faster than the length of lens you are using. An example if your zoom at full magnification is about the equivalent of 450mm on a normal 35mm camera, you must try and use a shutter speed faster than say 1/500 sec.
Have another go see if it works. Or as you said use a tripod, or beanbag placed on a wall camera fired by self timer.
All should work.

Yes - and all of that! It was dull, & shooting at about 125th. Not good enough for my built-in whisky tremor!! And, of course, if you happen to press half down when your wanderings are passing a building, that's the focus you get. And the angle of twitch between the sheep & houses was virtually nil.

It was the first morning, doing random shots, to see whether all the functions functioned. I like to complain early if I'm going to do it.

As I mentioned elsewhere. the one thing I bought it for - clear through-the-lens focussing - for daughter's portrait work - it doesn't have. How stupid can one be?
Seven operations to focus, & if you move a fraction in the process, it un-focusses!!Or do I mis-read it?

And there's nowhere for a comfortable left-hand grip without covering the pop-up flash. But then, was anything perfect?

Went over to a very wet allotment today. Saw our local enemy's lurking in the tree. Colour of sky a little different.

Our greens seem to be doing quite well.
