With the new preset "High Dynamic" in the SCN mode, I quickly tried yesterday:

It comes with three modes as well: (Photo tuned with Picasa's "I'm Feeling Lucky" function)


Standard Mode


Artistic Mode (more saturated feel, and made it looks like a painting or something)


B&W mode


Artistic Mode (this had made the photo looks like a faded colour photo)


B&W mode

Overall, this means I've another thing to play around with LX3 again!!!!

This is a great surprise from Panasonic, 1 year after they release this camera.

With such an added feature (and with others, too, check out my previous post here) that makes me a real proud owner of LX3!

I strongly recommend all the users of LX3 to upgrade to this latest firmware!
