fz 15 question

[Sven]

I just purchased a pana fz 15 a few days ago and am enjoying it very much, and I'm hoping to post some pictures in the near future. I do have couple questions though. First off I was wondering if there is a "b" setting for the shutter speed where the shutter can be open for as long as desired? Secondly, I'm pretty sure you can't, but is it possible to do shutter bursts (take a picture while in the process of zooming). I've seen pictures while doing shutter bursts and they look very interesting and was hoping that I could try it myself.

Nope, no Bulb mode for exposures. Your maximum exposure time is 8 sec. I have seen where some people simulate it by taking multiple exposures and then layering them together in PS or PSP. This same technique is also used for double exposures which is something else you can't do with digital cameras.

I have never heard of the shutter burst feature and I am fairly confident in saying that the FZ15 cannot do that.

I have a fz15 and love the shutter burst mode, never tried doing it while zooming, but it's a thought.
