Low-light and Night shots -Panasonic Lumix LX3.

Lumix LX3 is an amazing camera.Since I'm not a professional photographer,please allow me to explain in simple term.

Another similar mode, Film Grain, is also available and the effect is of a photo that looks like it was taken with high sensitivity film.

It takes really great photos even in low-light conditions.

That's right, with a Lumix there's virtually no need to use a flash (if you don't feel like it, and I usually don't)   I hardly use flash in photography and I'd much rather use available light because I feel that photos should look as natural as possible. (This isn't a rule in photography by the way, just a personal preference.) The Lumix LX3 pocketcam does not really boast of a high megapixel count, stopping at 10.1 megapixels, but instead it focuses on a bigger 1/1.63-inch sensor facilitating better low-light shooting.

This photo was shot at around 7 p.m. on last night. I didn't use a flash but as you can see, the image is relatively sharp and well-focused, and there is no noise or grain at all, as is usually the case with other compact cameras when shooting in low light. For this photo, I used another  mode, Film Grain, is also available and the effect is of a photo that looks like it was taken with high sensitivity film.

It can shoot dramatic, artistic photos using the pinhole camera simulator.

The Pinhole Camera setting has got to be my favorite fancy effect when using this camera. What this basically does is give a nostalgic vignetted photograph similar to what can be achieved using an old-fashioned pinhole camera.
