The extra-wide-angle 24mm lens is great for panoramic shots, but the exposure system has made a mess of the highlights.

At just 72mm, the telephoto end is barely long enough for portrait shots.





Colour reproduction is very accurate, and the extremely close 1cm macro range is useful too.





The metering system isn't good at point-and-shoot situations, and here has captured shadows at the expense of burned-out highlights. However the camera has the exposure versatility to overcome this.
