Once I found out where to find controls on my camera, what they did and how to use them I discovered I had new question. Were the factory default settings the best settings? What did I need my function button to do, how much of an Ev step was best, did I need to adjust the picture mode settings? What settings had professional photographers who had used my camera determined made the best pictures and worked the smoothest. I discovered that they indeed chose to change many of the factory default settings in the Olympus 510. For example, by setting the noise option to "off" I found I had a much better picture. It is really only needed if the ISO is cranked up really high and then only in the "low" setting.
http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/43/e510-sett.html#LOCKRECOM is a great site for customising your settings for the Olympus E-510 or E-410. The web site also has a detailed review of the cameras which I found very helpful. There are other cameras in review there as well.
Once I lived with the suggested settings for awhile I then tweaked them a little to my liking, but pretty much found the suggestions to be spot on.
This blog is my diary into my new found love of photography. Whether you are or are not a photography buff too, I hope you will leave comments. Any suggestions or counsel is appreciated as I am a novice and trying to learn. I am happy that you've joined me along my journey...
