Yeah, know the feeling, as will all of us in extra time. Blessed as many weren’t.

2nd look at that photo Stig, how did you get the Like & your helmet in sharp focus while the seat legs are out of focus?!

was a camera nerd for a brief period of time when my first daughter was a baby (been a while)...F stop (or aperature) controls the amount of light entering the camera as well as the depth of field that is in focus. Setting it one way (can't recall low f stop number or high..think low??) only focuses on the subject and blurs the background...how much you want the background blurred is up to you...the reverse is when you do a full landscape shot, say, of mountains, and you want everything in focus.. SLR and DSLR cameras have full adjustability, as well as automatic settings...even fairly basic point and shoot digital cameras have the full manual adjustability, but few (with exception of Stig!) ever use it.
A Professional photographer I sat next to on a plane once gave me a great tip ...when you manually set the f stop, and you're taking a portrait, focus the camera on the subject's nose...(good cameras will have a type of dot that shows where you are focusing)..keeps face in focus and blurs everything else

Good!
Someone who knows cameras!
Hawk how do I prevent my Lumix zs550 from star bursting my lights at night?
One theory is that somewhere within some setting I've turned on a Starburst setting.
I've looked - if so, can't find it.
Used camera from ebay....didn't pay much - no manual.
Why doesn't the "Intelligent Auto" deal with this?
Thanks in advance!

well..I took DSLR for Dummies back in the day....but a quick search for eliminating starbursts suggested a few things...1. lower the f stop 1 or 2 from your normal setting, 2. try a wide angle shot, as it makes the starburst smaller, relative to the pic, 3. hoods (for DSLR cameras) or specific lenses that minimize this - but neither apply to point and shoots...play with your white balance, see how adjusting that affects your night pics..
With cameras you sometimes just have to experiment with all the settings to see what gives you the best results
