I've been old that 1/60 is the limit for handheld photography, but I would think that a tripod or some other stand for the camera would have allowed for an even longer shutter speed for better exposure.<br /><br />Since the ISO is already at 1600, I wouldn't want to bump it up higher than that, even on a good camera. <br /><mediagianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14709122546365699811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-31294703121516127442011-11-02T12:05:48.541+00:002011-11-02T12:05:48.541+00:00Muchas gracias y felicitaciones por su explicación...Muchas gracias y felicitaciones por su explicación tan clara, que solo la dan las personas que saben mucho de un tema.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044740570173438023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-813055710667942720.post-4442728089711552602011-03-22T07:46:18.264+00:002011-03-22T07:46:18.264+00:00Yes, the 14-42mm kit lens should be good for lands...Yes, the 14-42mm kit lens should be good for landscapes.<br /><br />For a wider view, you could look for the Olympus 9-18mm f/4-5.6 lens (the Micro Four Thirds version of the lens).

Even if you are not photographing people.<br /><br />But perspective distortions might not always be a problem. If you are photographing a flat subject, then they don't matter. If you photograph organic shapes, then perhaps the distortions are not visible.<br /><br />Feel free to experiment!

From my experience , when taking horizontal picture , the max I can frame a person is half body , shoulder till face is the best distance , as for vertical picture , I can only frame till knee to give a pleasing result . I normally slightly tilt down the camera .
