Hope you are having fun over in Japan. If you'd been on the streets a bit earlier, you'd have been run down by an armada of bicycles.  Which part of Tokyo are you in, and what for - business, pleasure, cameras?

They're all standing behind Huw watching him take the photo.
They've never seen someone so tall handling such a tiny camera!

I love Erm's idea of going on safari in Finchley.
Having posted my photo below, I saw Erm's comments and wondered..... was it really taken at 17:40-something? Mine was taken only about 20 minutes later and it was already pitch black, although Finchley cannot be more than 30 miles in a straight line from the Surrey-Hants borders.........

Takanawa, Minato-ku, and basically it's a holiday, plus visiting family. However, I work for my brother, and he's the one I'm visiting, so inevitably it's business too. :-)

Brilliant inexpensive public transport + lack of parking = no traffic. :-)
Well, apart from the bicycles Zou mentioned - and they ride on the pavement! :-)
Here's another Tokyo traffic scene - about 11am, this one, still on a week-day. When was the last time you saw a road like this in London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Glasgow looking so empty at mid-morning on a week-day? It's quite a culture shock, albeit a nice one. :-)

Have you hacked the A610 to give you RAW, as it doesn't come as standard?

Me too? Methinks Erm put her clocks forward at t'weekend rather than back.
Incidently, I travelled back from Germany on Sunday having already put the clocks back in the morning, then had to put the clocks back again in the afternoon when the plane landed! A 26 hour day!!

Hmmm I just grabbed the time from the EXIF...  But no that'd be right because I have another 20 or so shots that I took in the next 15 minutes as I walked home and by the time I got back it was indeed pitch black.
This was one of the last, taken at 18:05 :
Yep, the light changes quick
I only walked about 200m in all that time

yes

Ah well, spill the beans then as I was thinking of getting the A650, so it might work on that also

I found the "hack" on the PP forum (I know embarrassing isn't it )
Left it alone then googled and found the site.
Basically involves downloading some firmware to find out which firmware is in the camera, then some more firmware with the actual RAW stuff on. You have to save the firmware to your memory card(s) as you have to upgrade every time you use it unless you lock it.
I prefer to choose when to use the RAW imaging.
I had to download a RAW converter and the images become dngs which I then will process in Elements 4.
Fairly straightforward...
As I say will do some work on it when I get the opportunity

just tried another one- it might be me being picky but at the moment I can only make out very subtle changes- but I will persist and no doubt will report back with more information.
thinking about it the subtle changes are probably significant doh!
One day I'll learn

All this talk of hacking compacts for RAW capture has prompted me to Google RAW capture for my Casio EX-P600 and sure enough there is a hack for that too!
I'll definitely be looking into it - thanks David
