experienced photographer will be able to have a lot of
control over the photographs taken with the

Those of you that want a simpler life will be pleased to know
that there are a few modes on this digital camera that will
make taking great shots easy. Two of the simplest are the
aptly named 'simple mode', which is a nice point and shoot
mode and the slightly more advanced 'Scene mode' where you
pick a scene such as portrait or fireworks from one of nine
available on the FZ3s mode dial and the Lumix FZ3 picks the
appropriate settings.
