Looking at the settings that Birdwatching Scene Mode sets up on my camera, I wanted to view the difference in the settings as I zoom out. The only thing I have against the Nikon P610 is that the lens is variable in that I can set it all I like at 3.3, but when I zoom out it changes according to what focal length I end up with. That doesn't happen with the Panasonic FZ200 but hey, not camera is perfect. Anyway, when I zoomed right out, there weren't any birds outside the window at the time so I aimed at a hibiscus bud. Oh - the leaves behind it blurred out and gave me a good clean shot. Aperture down to 5.6 but still nice and clear.
Then
I aimed at a much smaller flower, a seaside daisy. The aperture went out to 6.5 and I found I really liked the result, with the large ginger lily leaf going right out of focus and leaving the seaside daisy and a few stems (I did crop this a bit because a lot of dead stalks were to one side).
