Scott, I love them, goshhhhhhhhhhh I am so jealous. They look great,
I too finally saw a couple of them finally coming to the feeders.
We got to snap them as quickly as possible, before Ken starts calling them back to his backgarden
Scott I am sooooooooo

Nos, 1,2,3 and 5th ones are stunners for me.
I want some of those too hehehe

Ronald,
You have to remember always that when you release your shutter those few seconds that the display screen remain visible (which by the way you can control it by settings in the PLAYBACK [INSTANT REVIEW] options are (1sec, 3 sec, 5 sec and off)) during those seconds that the display remain active if you have it selected to be on, the wheels will not function. They do remain locked. So for instance if you have chosen 5 secs to display your image after shutter release then for the whole 5 seconds while its on both wheels will not have any impact on any settings. The settings will remain locked.
It might not look as if 5 secs or 3 secs is a lot of time but if you are shooting something and you instantly look at the display and you for instance think "oh I need to increase or decrease shutter speed or aperture" and your index or thumb reaches for the wheels and you move t hem you will notice it as locked. Even 3 secs is quite long in certain instances as you shoot, check the exposure and settings on the display and make modifications those split seconds are still locked.
You havt two options here, either keep the PLAYBACK options on OFF but then you lose the review capabilities, or you choose either 1 or 3 secs.
I personally prefer 3 secs as 1 is too short and although 3 is too long for some shots as I will shoot and even without reviewing it I might want to modify something as I see the aperture values or shutter speed blinking on the view mirror and turning the wheel at that instant won't change because the display is on, but got into the habit of just at that instant lightly pressing the shutter release and the display will go off even without completing the 3 secs and that will allow me to change the settings again immediately.
So if just in case, assuming this is your problem then you can get into the habit of just pressing lightly the shutter button and then turning the wheel.

Remember always, DISPLAY ON, NO WHEELS CONTROL, and this goes if you pressed the display button also. So come off it by gently pressing the shutter release and then modify the settings.

Not sure if this was one of your problems but in case it was then hope this helps.

Fantastic, I predict a trip to the sandbanks to look for kingfishers

Hey I did have quite a few macro of flowers too, I took them off from the gallery when there was a discussion on one of the threads about images that might not be up to the standard for the gallery and that to present something for critics and views the Your Photos section was more suitable .
But here is an attempt to level the scale for me
Jerome sorry to take a free ride on your thread

That title is at present still widely contested, you seem to forget the master of the birds shots, the crown still belongs to beginner . he still is the undisputed king of bird shots. Sorry Scott, didn't want to undermine your capabilities in this field but seems me and you still have a long way to catch up with beginner .

Beginner, this is supposed to be a big compliment, you carry on and keep presenting us with those lovely birdies shot with the lovely DA*300, and now add the TC as well

This is so terrible. I am with you on this and I know precisely how you are feeling. It just ruins your trusting attitude. I have been on the receiving end too just a couple of years ago, slightly different, as a seller and ended up shipping second hand camcorder and some mobile phones all the way to Africa. What annoyed me most was the cost I paid for the shipment rather than not getting the money for the goods sold, they were old and were in the shed just gathering dust.
I truly am sorry for what happened to you. I know you really had high hopes for this GX20 and you had mentioned it when you sold me the TC.
Well, just think that it could have been a lot more, compared to those who lost thousands at least you know you are out of your pocket for £420. Still very bad though and bleemingly annoying.

Loskeran, PM sent
