Thanks Edita and Ian for compliment. About lens, I don't know the exact number, but I think it true: I had to zoom ! This alley to the castle is so loooooong that on auto mode, the castle looked so tiny far away lost in the horizon... next time, Ian, I'll frame it without zoom! Cheers Annick

Ian the Canon s3 has a small image sensor , which means the 25mm lens in the Canon S3 is multiplied by approx 6 times to give you a 35mm film equivalent of 150mm. eg my Panasonic FZ30 has a 7.4mm to 88.8mm lens,but is equivalent to 35 to 420mm due to the crop factor of the small sensor , most DSLR except full frame models have a crop factor of 1.6X for Canon &1.5X for Nikon ,Cheers Craig :)ps the exif data doesn't convert for you , causing the confusion.

Dear Annick,

We have Craig to thank for sorting out my confusion. Isn't it wonderful when technically literate minds understand that which might otherwise be a mystery. Of course, you were right and you may have known all this, but for me it is a real education. And thank you Craig for the gracious way you helped me to understand.

Appreciatively and humbly,

Ian

PS Annick, You can now delete my last message if you would like.

Hello Ian and Craig !!! OOPS ! I'm so bad with technical features! I used to be what japanese call "bakachom" (stupidclick) photographer.. Little by little, I started to learn with "ouverture" "distance focale" "vitesse" and so on... but Craig is specialist; my goodness, he teaches so well. If you agree with it, I'll delete your two first messages and my answer, Ian, but keep Graig's answer. And be sure that I don't think very deep as i take a picture! Sometimes, when I don't like the result, I try manual mode , with difficulties? I'm not champion because never had any teacher. Perhaps sometimes ! Cheers Annick

Hello Annick, Looking through your collection,you are far from a stupidclick photographer, you have what is most important ,an artistic eye for an image , an instinct to visualize. Its like i may know how a piano works to a fine degree , but could not play it,this is the case for a camera,its an artistic tool,and you don't need to know how it ticks IMHO ,Cheers Craig :)
