When I first got my Fuji Finepix S5600 I started off using Auto mode and the pre-programmed Landscape, Portrait, etc, modes. I also put the ISO setting to Auto and just got on with the business of taking pictures.

Just downloaded the new beta 4 and things are looking up. First impressions are that some of the performance issues have been fixed as it seems to be running pretty well on my 2.5GHz Mobile Celeron with 1GB RAM.

I’ve been trying for a while to get a decent shot of a Red Panda and finally last week I got one to look my way. They are just so damn cute but always look a bit sad to me.
