Macro Sample

Shutter speed: 10/587 sec
Aperture: f/3.9
Focal length: 5mm (28mm eqiv.)

This shot of a chilly Boston morning was taken with the camera in program mode, with the focus set to macro. It is fairly sharp in the center of the frame, but it does not have much of a depth of field, so the ice starts to look somewhat blurry at other points.

Shutter speed: 1/30 sec
Aperture: f/3.9
Focal length: 5mm (28mm eqiv.)

This shot of a local theater was taken late in the evening while a gentle snow was falling with the flash (which is why there are white spots on the shot) with the camera in Program mode. The camera chose a mid-range ISO here, which produces a slightly noisy . It is also interesting to note that the text on the billboard is mostly blasted out; the camera did not have the dynamic range to capture this.

Aperture: f/5.8
Focal length: 25mm (140mm eqiv.)

This zoomed-in shot of a frosty duck shows the performance of the camera at the longest zoom setting. Although the  is sharp art the center of the frame, there is a fair amount of noise (see the noise in the duck's beak), and the  gets rather soft at the edge of the frame.
