Best way to set your Panasonic FZ2000/2500 in manual mode !!! How do I use it???

[@badkneesone]

That was beautiful...You don't need me to tell you this...I am just blown away how well this was put together.

[@erikkijne4694]

Thanks for the video on FZ2000, however I was hoping you would also tell us how you could set the infrared shoot mode. I can not find it in the instruction guide

[@HamiltonSRink]

I enjoyed your video. Very nicely done. JPG engine is a bit too over sharp as is. My preferred settings, STD profile, Contrast +1, Sharpening -4, Noise reduction -3, Saturation and Hue at 0. This makes a very nice JPG, with some room to adjust sharpening in post.

Thank you, Excellent tutorial as usual. Also, that's a lovely shirt you are wearing.

Thanks mate. 😀😀😀

I love these bridge cameras, I had the sony rx10mk3 and just picked up the mkiv which has crazy fast autofocus and 24fps with up to 600mm reach! I use it more than my detachable lens camera

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

Longrider yes these bridge cameras are excellent quality. I love them as well. You are talking about the mark III, is that the one with f2. 8 lens all the way up??? I know there is a Sony RX camera with f2. 8 lens but I don't know which one. Mark II or Mark III???,

[@longrider9551]

the mk2 is 2.8 all through but I think it only goes to 3 or 400, I like the longer reach to 600 and use it alot for concerts and events. The other benefit is here in the states many venues will not let you bring a detachable lens camera inside. with these new generation of bridge cameras you can get really amazing shots from the cheap seats lol

[@hiltonbarr85]

Loved how clear you made this video and one question. I can't get that small area to magnify the focus point that you show 7.52 into the video, please how does that happen?

[@HamiltonSRink]

Go to wrenchC in the menu, then find page 4. MF Assist , top choice of the 4 available choices. Also just below MF Assist find, MF Assist display. Two choices, I like FULL.

Hi, Nice video. Hoe can i fine the Bulb modus?

[@raymondcook8364]

Is there a manual focus ring on this camera so I don't have to use the AF?

[@simmo303]

Panasonic electronics, Leica glass - great combination. You'll need A 4k TV to see best results.

[@curtzblues]

I can't get to any store to put one of these in my hands so this is my VR. I've used a Pana tm700 camcorder for almost 10 yrs and the need to bump up my game is overwhelming. FZ2500 blows me away and, somewhat fits my budget.

[@MikeRosecope]

I would have a question, sorry in advance when I stutter, I'm a bit confused.. at full pure zoom, so 400mm - without close-up lens - with the 1" sensor of the FZ1000..2000, what is that compared to a FZ150 .. 200..300 with its small 1/2.3" sensor, but 600mm focal length for a cut? I can not imagine it crop-technically, I do not think so. I'm not about photos, where you could cut out of me from the higher resolution of the 1" a picture, I'm about videos where 4K of course has the same resolution on both .. So I film with a 1/2.3" Camera / 600mm a 1m folding rule, which in the picture extends exactly from left to right, what do I see in the 1" camera at 400mm from the same distance? Left and right of the ruler blank or fits the folding rule not on it? :) Thank you in advance..

Very usefull vidéo, very clear speaker ;-)

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

Christophe Mimouni thanks man.

[@rayjenkins2754]

Thanks for this video. Have you changed ( + or - from the default ones ) any of your settings in ' Photo Style ' ? On my FZ2500 I've set the 'sharpness' to +1 and the 'NC' ( noise reduction ) to -2. I've also changed the exposure comp. button to be my focus - I've attached a rubber cap to it so that it is a bit higher. I've made the front wheel - next to the shutter button - the exposure comp. Like you mention there are so many ways to personalize this camera. Do you have any thoughts on the FF focus mode ? Thanks

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

Ray Jenkins no I didn't change any of those settings. The truth is that I use the camera only for my hobby photos, when it comes to a payed job I go back to my Nikon gear or to my Fujifilm XT-20. But I plan to buy the G9 and if I will be happy with the image quality, probably I will sell my Nikon gear. I love Panasonic for video and hopefully the G9 will be my workhorse body.

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

Ray Jenkins by the way the focus mode i use is the continuous auto focus. I didn't really used the FF but some people say that it is as good as the continuous one. I could not see any difference to be honest.

[@digicam8]

Hi, when I set up my camera in manual mode yes it's works great but if I switch the camera off then back on I have to set it up all over again!!! Do I have a fault with mine or dose or do they all do that?? Thanks for your help, William

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

I never noticed something like that. So most likely it is an error. Try to set back to factory settings the camera and than take out the battery for a minute.

[@digicam8]

@@BlueSkyPhotography thanks for your help with this but I'm afraid I've done all that so it's looking like I have a duff camera!!! But thanks anyway, William.

[@rajeevnath1234]

I can't seem to get my flash to work and I can't seem to change my shutter type to MSHTR whilst my camera is in Manual Mode?

[@BlueSkyPhotography]

Rajeev you have to be able to do it in manual mode. Go into the menu and select over there. The flash will only work with mechanical shutter.

[@pgulysse1]

Thanks. This hybrid bridge is a popular one. What features (new and improved < software, body, controls, lens, video specs, photography specs) would you like to see in a refresh of this bridge by Lumix. www.dpreview.com/forums/post/64467792 Thanks.

Turn off the music, it's distracting and doesn't add anything to the video.
