This is where it all begins!
Well this is where it all begins! I was like getting ready to meet my friends in the settler's cafe last year when I come across the court advertisement about the red thread sale. There were having items on clearance and I saw this ad on olympus sp 560 at $299 instead of the usual retail price of $749 at that time. So my mum drop me off at courts to purchase it since she say its good to invest in one good camera for the taking of family shots. This baby introduce me to the concepts of shutter speed and apeature and I begin to look up things such as iso and white balance. Its runs on 4 AA batteries and XD card.
This was the first picture that I took using the camera. Its all in the auto which is very much everything is set for me. I did not use the apeature and shutter mode then. This picture was taken on the first outing in hot park which marks my first photo taking outing and I was taking pictures till my mum went in for her graduation ceremony already lols!
My first picture taken at the Zoo. The white tigers, taken on my birthday itself. At that time still auto mode for everything. 
If I not wrong, it was like 7 Jan this year that I secured the e410 from one of the online sellers at $350 for the camera and the short lens. Its fits in as it was the whole smallest camera that fits into my hands, fit in my budget and also that it support XD card which means at any point of time, I could have a CF and XD card in it.
Still I was not fully using its functions. I remember that when I took it to the first botanic and Zoo trip, I was like setting things to the minimium using Auto mode. However i did start using apeature mode. 
The flower picture: took multi shots as I will tend to move. One thing on E410 is without image stablization and that the live mode does not really project the image well, its different when viewing it on com. Most of my photos are in vivid which is better when uploading to com.

This one all manuel settings!

My first picture taken at the Zoo. The white tigers, taken on my birthday itself. At that time still auto mode for everything. It was later like in end 2008 and early 2009 that I use a bit on apeature but mostly on auto mode cos I still cant get the concept of apeature and shutter.
Also I was looking through club snap at that time to see how i could improve on my photos and also to see if i could strike gold meaning find very off bargin dslr online.
Also I tired of bringing ons of 4 AAs batteries on every trip. and to speak of this baby is not for taking shots in flash mode. Give it about 6 shots, I have to change battery but...its works for taking celebrities photos as I might be unable to get a good view, I could always relied on the live view taking mode from it. I went to celebrities autograph session such as Lolipop, Genie, Derrick so that I could gain experience on taking photos in extreme crowded situations.

At the lolipop event, I first learn out things like manuel focus and also lock focus and the trustly reporter mode which it was used to snap Wei Ling walking from the event haha!

When the puddings come, I did try my first manuel focus on Nino!
It was not until the puddings were born (hint: Someone give them names man! or I be refferring them as the 5 little devils hahaha) which I find that auto mode will not work on them.
First: There are too small to auto focus
Second: Given the lighting condition, it is impossible to take it on auto focus mode as either the shutter wont go or that the picture turn blurrly.
So given the conditions that the 5 cutie devils make me through, I set my first manuel shooting as in setting all to manuel: manuel focus, iso, white balance, metering, colour, sharpness, contrast, monochome, shutter and apeature.
Each day I learn bit by bit to set the E410 to take pictures of them. And taking them day by day makes me adapt to the manuel mode.
Then through the first taking of the model with E410 outside, I was made to set the shutter and apeature regular.
Hence my pictures was in the manuel mode now a days.
Cons: friends waited long cos I have to set focus manuelly haha!
