Go for it! It's a great camera!

Hi Donna!

I expect you've seen my London O2 pics/video.

Almost all of those were taken using the 'high speed burst' (not flash burst, doesn't do the job) mode. On the dial you have two 'my scene (MS)' settings. I set one of mine to 'high speed burst' (you just press the 'menu/set' button on the back of the camera to do that).

Any others I took just using the IA mode.

I love high speed burst because even though you end up with hundreds of pics to sort through after (I took two 8gb memory cards and a spare battery by the way, I did need to use both cards and both batteries) you are pretty much guaranteed to get a good number of great pics!

Obviously I was right on the barrier but even my Dublin O2 pics aren't too bad (although I concentrated mainly on taking video for that one) and I was right at the very back of the seating area for that one!

What type of ticket have you got for Wembley? I've gone for standing and will be one of the loonies queueing from early in the morning to get as near the front as poss!

Yep, I had to use my spare at both the Dublin and the London gigs!

Unless you know what you're doing regarding the firmware (and I certainly don't know anything about it of any use I'm afraid!:LOL:) then be cautions about using a non-Panasonic battery:)

Yeah

Came into effect on the 1st of January

I know someone who has a couple of Ringnecks (bought from a breeder, not one of our wild ones) and they are such wonderful, intelligent birds.

Marnie, my favourite You Tube Ringneck!

I hate to think of these lovely birds being killed for no proven reason.

No! I wish I had though! They are Ringneck Parakeets and a cull is now underway :(

You too sweetie!

I'm working every day now until Sunday but I'll still have a good one!

How could anyone resist??!

I'm very well thanks Jenna! Looking forward to a year full of Muse gigs of course!

This is the spare battery you need

Another tip, buy an SDHC card, I use these..

Hi!

It's a lithium battery as in my old camera but it didn't last quite as long and I did have to change it at the gig.

I take a LOT of pics using the high-speed burst mode which is a great feature on that camera and is how I've got some of my best shots and that does drain the battery. I also took lots of video. I took a few pics with the flash too.

If I were you I'd buy a spare battery but with this model it's very important you buy a genuine Panasonic battery for the TZ7, or ZS3 as it's known in North America, something to do with the firmware in the camera. It's an expensive but one-off purchase and very worth it if you need it like I did!

Don't know if you've seen my non-Muse pics but you'll find all my pics here..

Those taken since the Dublin gig have all been taken with the new TZ7

And a very 'Merry Christmas' to you too Liam! xxxx

Oh thank you!

I haven't downloaded it yet because I'm having a brand new computer installed today but will do so once my new one is up and running!

And this is my daughter having hers!

I'm afraid my grasp of foreign languages is pitiful :$

Love the Muse logo idea! Hope you manage to get a lot of people interested!

Do you like my Muse logo?

Had that done last year after seeing Muse at Marlay Park and the V Festival!

Hi!

You're welcome! We're all going to have such a great time in Paris!

Hiya Jenna!

Oh they're very well thank you, talking lots now too! Very entertaining and much-loved/spoilt birds they are too!

How you keeping? Are you going to Wembley? You may have already said but I lose track!

Bloody Muse are costing me a fortune right now!

Thanks!

Which one......Guiding Shite??!:LOL:

Yep! Got my hotel booked (Wembley Premier Inn) for Friday and Saturday nights and will be coming up by train...really don't fancy driving to North London or leaving my car in the less than salubrious surroundings of Wembley!

Hi there cool new toy boy! :LOL:

Yey! I've got a GA ticket too!:D:D

Hi donna

Well I've only been to Wembley Stadium once and I had reserved seating in level 1 and had a great view.

In theory ALL seats are 'good' seats in that no view is obstructed but of course some seats will be MUCH further from the stage than others so unless you can request a specific block (I don't know if you can) it may be better to opt for this new general admission ticket giving you the option of standing or level 1 seated.

If you queue early enough you should get where you want to be I'd imagine.

I'm 40 and have stood at many Muse gigs and queued for hours and hours to get to the barrier!:LOL:

Good luck!

You can watch them all here.

Should auto-play the lot!
