Panasonic Lumix Bridge Cameras -Getting Better Images Part One (Aperture Control)

[@johnmyates3135]

Following my purchase of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ2000 I have found your tutorials just what I nee to get to grips with the functions of this camera. Thank you for your help.

[@soulshade123]

These videos are very helpful for a newbie like me. Great to have someone explain it in easy to understand and still detailed manner.

The video quality on this tutorial is outstanding Graham! Thank you always for taking the time to share.

Thank you for all your help. You are not to blame for my many poor shots but you can take credit for the good ones.

Excellent as usual Graham.

[@a.dretti2917]

Thanks again Graham, for these wonderful video series.

I have both the DMC FZ70 and 80 cameras. Glad I found your videos, because the controls are similar.

Very good video Graham. I'm still deciding whether to trade my FZ1000 for a ILC (likely DSLR) and one reason is for the ability to have shallow depth of field, especially when using a prime lens such as 50mm f/1.8. The FZ1000 is an excellent camera in many ways so I'll watch your new video series with much interest especially if you are using this as an example camera. Hope you are enjoying / enjoyed Arran.

Thanks for all these videos Graham, What Auto focus would you recommend for shooting sports (soccer) on the FZ330? Many thanks.

[@jesusmartinmusic]

Excellent tutorials. Thanks a lot for taking your time to make them!

Really great know all this principles and how to do it in a Lumix Bridge. Your videos and site are a tremendous knowledge for the ones interested in those cameras. I really want that amazing FZ300 (yes here in Portugal and only in England, i think, it's named Fz330) because i see lot of potential for photo but specially for video (that i'm very concerned about too, in fact very more interested). In my situation i also need a lot of zoom, a fast machine and some ability to also sometimes low light situations. FZ300 is perfect (and only) choice for my tight budget... Until today my only concern about FZ300 was the impossibility to film slow-motion in 1080p... only 720p... well, i will have to live without that. Note: have you notice the new Lumix FZ2000/2500 (Sep,2016)? An amazing model that enhances upon FZ1000 and takes borrowed some abilities from FZ300 (like the touch screen)... this one finally takes FHD slow-motion at 120fps and 720 240fps. In fact it's a camera clearly for videographers... it has a lot of everything. Wow! If FZ1000 was out of my budget... FZ2000 is even more price (something like double price of an FZ300). It would have been good if Panasonic also unveiled a new enhanced model based upon FZ300... maybe next year...

Graham,I have been following you the past 5 years and want to thank you for sharing your knowledge and artist flair with me and your large KZbin audience. I started with the FZ200 then moved to the Fz1000, then the G7 and now the GX85. My photography is shared with my Facebook friends, and my travel books that are 8x10 at the largest. My stable of lens are the 25 1.7, 12-32 small pancake type lens and the 14-140 zoom.I have the beginnings of Parkinson that shows up in hand tremors. My GX85 has great IBIS but my lens are second rate. I was going to look at the Lumix 12-35 2.8 for better quality but it is very expensive.Would the FZ300 in the US work for me? I do almost no video. But I love the 4k shots for stopping action. And I'm afraid I am letting the small sensor in the FZ300 scare me away. I also have a LX10 with the 1" sensor if needed. The FX300 almost sounds to good to be true. Please help me with my decision. Many thanks,David

Thanks for these videos!

[@jamiehaggo6584]

Hi Graham, thank you for these videos, I'm finding them very helpful. May I ask a question please? I own a FZ200 and primarily use it for taking photos of model aeroplanes (Airfix type things). I usually shoot in AP, ISO100 with F8.0 for good depth of field (required for publishing). I recently bought a Raynox macro lens for close ups of detail such as cockpits. Having mounted the lens, I'm getting a black ring from the lens around the image, just like in an old war film when they look through binoculars! Am I doing something fundamentally wrong? How can I get rid of the black ring if at all? I need a standard rectangular picture. Thanks.

[@xchamp1442]

Thanks. These videos are really helpful

[@sanysmail]

Hi +Graham, what mic you are using to capture your voice. Is it from your lav mic to camera or is it going to a audio recorder?

[@mircomoscardini]

Hi Graham. Nice and helpful video as usual. I have a question for you...Is the new FZ2000 really better than the FZ1000? I have only read techincal spefications from Photokina 2016 and I didn't see nothing new except for the videomaking side of camera. And I'm not a videomaker... What's your opinion about it? Thanks in advance for your answer and greetings from Italy

[@GrahamHoughton12]

Yes this camera has become video centric with a lot more added for video shooters. It does add a little extra zoom and the post focus feature but with a very heavy price tag. I'm not sure how this one will compete against micro four thirds and aps-c models as the size and weight are becoming an issue. The only plus is the fact that it isn't an interchangeable lens system giving a speed advantage when shooting in a variety of subject scenarios.
