Car shows are not easy as the light can be a bit hit and miss and close in you get the reflection of the flash as said so stand a couple of yards back is rule number one. Have a look at the ones i took at Essen last year (go there if you can!) on my website http://www.flickr.com/photos/udaltea/sets/72157626285949243/ . I was using my 5 year old FZ8 and IIRC I set the flash to stay on and used AV (aperture value) mode and I think i would have upped the ISO to 400 which would have hit the image quality a little but that will be less of a problem on yours as its newer and will have more MP. One word of warning, make sure the battery is well charged as the flash will use it up....by the end of my session at Essen the battery was flatter than Holland, but what a great day!!! Good luck at the show! :happy2: PS Am just looking back at my photos at Essen and the specs via Photoshop, if you look at the photo of the Audi 100 coupe (252 i think.....) i shot at f2.8 and 1/30s ISO 100, hope this helps you in some way!

No problem, that's why this forum is tops! I have been to some classic car shows but believe me, Essen is just paradise. 13 halls of glistening metal, it's unbeatable! Last year drove there in my Corrado VR6 from Spain, got there and a German begged me to sell it to him so I flew back and bought a Golf gti dsg the next week. Regretted it at first but love the Golf now :happy2:

The Audi 100 coupe was the dogs you know what but there was a lime green mk 1 Scirocco as well I think....with 5,000km on it, just beautiful. Look on my web there are the photos from the madrid show as well www.flickr.com/photos/udaltea they are there somewhere amongst pandas, footballers and f1 cars :smiley:

I have one of these cameras. They are a damn good cam for the money though. I find not using the flash can get good results. Sometimes.....
