Nice choice and good first pics

P is an ideal setting to start on!

Top work, some really nice shots there. Love the last one in particular.

Seems to blur the background quite well in macro mode as well, surprising for a non-SLR camera.

I got the 5700 but to be honest I don't haev a clue yet. Need to get some practice in somewhere.

Would help if the instructions weren't all in French! Bloody pixmania.

P.s. pmsl at old chappie on bench.

Thanks everyone, really happy with this. Should be a nice introduction into using a camera properly.

Regarding blurring, I read your guide yesterday regarding bluring in Aperture mode, unfortunately i cant seem to take a decent portrait or picture of a wildlife etc... and have the background a little blurry. Super Macro is the only way of doing this effect, must be doing something wrong.

I might be wrong but it depends what the aperture will go up to at what focal length. According to the specs the Aperture is from f/2.8-f/11

When the aperture is bigger i.e f/2.8 you get most blurring and a smaller focal point.

Excellent photos. I like the last one as well

Aperture on a bridge camera is completely different to aperture on a DSLR lens. Due to the much smaller sensor on a bridge camera you won't get anywhere near the same blurring effect when using f2.8, it's mainly just helpful in that you get a brighter image at longer focal lengths.

What he said ^^^

The Depth of Field definitely isn't as marked on the 6500 as you get on SLRs!
