Hey guys, I'm totally new to this and have a few beginner questions. I recently got
this Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 camera. I guess my first question would be, is this a good camera (at least, for a beginner like me)?
Anyway, I've mostly just left it on the auto settings to take pictures. 99.9% of the pictures I'm taking right now are of my infant son, and since he doesn't exactly want to sit still and pose for photos, I hold down the button so it takes a bunch of pictures in succession, hoping that one or two turn out ok. Anyway, some questions:
1) Most of the pictures I take end up blurry, often because my son is always moving. What causes this and what can I do to prevent it?
2) I have a PNY Professional 8 GB Class 10 memory card in there. When I hold down the button to take a bunch of pictures, it sometimes lags as it's trying to write to the memory card. I think this has gotten worse as time has gone on. Will a more expensive memory card help with this? Any suggestions?
3) I'm currently just using the 14-42 lens that came with the camera, although I get the impression that if I want to get more serious about taking pictures I should upgrade this. What am I looking for? Any suggestions?
4) Any other tips for a total newb? I've read a couple things but it's a little overwhelming since I've never done this before. Any really basic tips to get me started feeling like I'm doing something more than just snapping pics on auto settings?
