Panasonic Bridge Cameras - Basic Photography Part 4, Close Up & Macro

[@ksgtokgo]

I've had my FZ 300 for almost two years and enjoy it very much. I do keep coming back to your videos to refresh my memory on how to do this and that. Thanks for the great series of tutorials.

[@suzannebradford129]

Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials you have produced on so many different cameras. They are a real treasure to so many.

Hi Graham, thanks to your videos I am able to get better pictures with my FZ300 than my Nikon D600 full frame camera. I purchased your book, which has been most helpful, but still enjoy your videos. I appreciate your clear, concise videos. Thank you.

[@GrahamHoughton12]

Great to hear! Thank you for your most valuable feedback.

I find your educational videos so exciting and motivating. I recently acquired a FZ80 and I am learning so much from you. Incidentally I had no idea that a snail could look so attractive.

[@baconsledge]

Thank you. I have learned much about my FZ80...more than the manual by far!

[@JohnClulow]

Lots of good tips for handling less than optimal conditions like subject motion and high contrast lighting. Despite the difficulties posed by the breezy day, you managed to get some nice images. Obviously overcast, still days simplify things a lot. For any serious macro shooting I've tried, I find that focus stacking is almost essential to address the razor-thin depth of acceptable focus. I seem to recall in another video you mentioned working on an automated focus rail so maybe you'll be covering focus stacking in a subsequently. Another very informative video in the series. Thank you!

Olá! Seus videos são muito importantes para quem tem a FZ82, mas como não possue a opção de legendas automáticas, não podemos entendê-lo. Seria possvel permitir que a legenda automática fosse ativada? Obrigado!

[@richard217]

the best one so far...

Hello . I enjoy your advice and opinions. Do you think the fz 1000 is still a decent camera for night pics?

[@andreatilli6227]

Loving this series so far!

[@terrygibson6092]

Very informative and easy to understand

[@lessaunders2553]

Enjoy using both my Lumix cameras, I have a DMC-FZ50 and DMC-FZ200 both great cameras.

[@PervyOldToadSage]

wow you capture so much detail on the 300, i was worried it wouldnt capture as much as the 1000

[@walterjacobs5280]

Thank you for this video Graham

[@lessaunders2553]

Hi Graham, thank you for that information.

[@sgit1]

I feel like I'm with you on a photo-shoot as you explain your techniques. A question . . . when you attach the close-up lens, do you still keep the camera in close-up mode (flower icon)?

[@randygardner2231]

Thank you for this series!

[@tommyroddy9442]

Superb video

[@avihershberg4088]

Thanks Graham for your video! I was wondering what macro results you will get when moving the FZ300 camera closer to the subject, about 1cm, or 3cm for the FZ10002. Any advantage or disadvantage comparing to your trial conditions?

[@jimsomethingelse9493]

I take pictures of flowers and have to avoid direct sunlight by finding my subjects in open shade or a cloudy bright day. The hand held diffuser you had looked like just the ticket to help with that problem. I searched Amazon for 30 minutes and was unable to find one like it.

[@cotreigen8189]

God bless you. Thx you

[@teresahooper6954]

Thank you for this series. Do you shoot in aperture mode all the time?

[@GrahamHoughton12]

Exclusively

[@joec.1030]

Watching!👍🏻😊📷✌🏼

[@algaelena]

Hola. No hay subtítulos automáticos! Qué pena. 😔

[@lessaunders2553]

Hi Graham, I enjoy your articles, you may be able to help me sort out my problem, I have a Lumix DMC-FZ200 I am trying to have someone confirm if my Lumix sun hood will fit on the Lumix lens protector tube if I purchase this item, I have tried asking this question but can't get a confirmation, thanks Graham

[@GrahamHoughton12]

if you are referring to the LA7 tube which is used to support telephoto lenses etc, then no the hood does not fit on this device. It is only used to hold the heavy LT55 lens
