Aperture and shutter speed have become my best friends ..these cameras are very forgiving... Just a few clicks on the wheel and you're there...Depending on your priority of course....Flash and ISO also help when needed ... Thank you for all the great videos
Hello Graham, one more great video to sum up the essential settings to take pictures. My grand daughter living in England (she is French) recently changed of school and had to make a choice between French or Photography for her studies and then will start learning photography next september. I will strongly recommend her your numerous videos specially those concerning the FZ200 camera. Thank you and as you say...Bye for now.
Great informative video. You have a flair for teaching, very relaxed and explain things well. I learned something new from this video and that is that wide angle shots give more depth of field. Never knew that. I just bought the FZ1000 and which will arrive in a few days. I do own the fZ 200 which takes great photos. Will decide then whether the FZ1000 is a keeper or a return item : )
Thanks ...I bought a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 one year ago without a clue tbh ...seems like it does everything ( the guide book alone is 1" thick and that`s all in English )...your video`s really help and are very comprehensive ...reccon I am 50% better now and am getting positive comments when I post my `snaps`.....in a years time I reccon I will be good enough to call them Photographs .
Thanks again Graham. Another easy to understand, cut-through-the-c**p vid that's explained things simply. I've just received my FZ1000 and will be using your tutorials to get a grip of what it can do.
Very helpful,informative.I bought an FZ00 recently,great deal.Very capable camera once you get it dialed in.These instructional videos have been awesome.Ty Mr Houghton
Good way of explaining the relationship between ISO, shutter speek and f-stop, Graham.. I learned photography using a Nikkormat FT2, which I still have, back in the late '70s. Nothing was automatic.and you couldn't afford to waste a single frame of film, or a least I couldn't, so you really had to learn the mechanics of photography in order to be any good at it. I recently acquired a Panasonic FZ70, which I'm enjoying so far. I'd love to know your thoughts on this camera in addition to the FZ200.
I have both the FZ200 and the FZ1000. I find that at the maximum optic zooms, the FZ200 makes a much sharper image than the FZ1000. I used a pine tree for testing since the needles are easy to show detail. Do you find that the FZ200 takes a sharper image?
+Dasdfjkl To qualify my test, I was taking pictures of a tree that was 300 feet away. When taking pictures of objects closer, about 30 feet, both cameras produce the same sharpness. The FZ1000 does better on the closer objects that are in shade. Those images are a little brighter than the FZ200 but the sharpness is the same. I took pictures of a mushroom with its fine gills for sharpness testing at closer range.
+Dasdfjkl Blowing the mushroom image up, the FZ1000 has a tad bit more sharpness. So in conclusion, the FZ200 takes a better long range picture, and the FZ1000 takes a better shorter range picture. But the close range pictures (30 feet) are practically a tie.
+Dasdfjkl About the long range shots, if it is a general scene the less sharp image and wider fov of the FZ1000 might be more pleasing. If it is bird a sharper image is more pleasing.
Matteo Natali GO HERE.... www.grahamhoughton.com/download-section/ scroll down to the "Fz200 users manual"... download the pdf...... enjoy ! It'll show you how to set everything on it basically..
Graham, I love your tutorials and I refer back to them over and over. I bought an FZ70 two years ago and I still am amazed at what it is capable of shooting. I recently noticed however, a curlicue on the bottom third of all my images. Since this is a fixed lens camera and the lens has been cleaned thoroughly, I assume it to be dust inside. Is there a process to clean the sensor in this camera? Thanks in advance!!! Lem Woods, Kure Beach, NC
Once again very interesting and very logical advises, you made it quite simple... Congratulations Graham (I'm french and I love your accent it's like music to me !)
Dear Graham, your videos are truly addictive, but perhaps i haven't seen enough of them -:) as I have a question - why would you not recommend to use the P mode as the main one, where you can shift up and down the speed or aperture balance; especially if you have fixed the iso...? I am just transitioning into the digital world, but in my old film camera, I always liked to use the P mode shift - just based on if I wanted high or low aperture/speed - the two is linked anyway when you have fixed iso.... What am I missing for you to have the A mode as your recommended one? Many thanks!
Graham, I know in one of our FZ200 tutorial videos, you talked about the ISO Limit Set. Did you say that 800 was about the top limit for the FZ200 as far as reduced noise is concerned? I know 1600 is very noisey.
Another excellent video Graham. I would like to ask you if you think that there is any point in buying camcorders any more. I did a year back, a Panasonic X920. It was meant to replace an old tape based DV camcorder which I had enjoyed using for many years. However, having seen the Panasonic FZ1000 and your video's about it, it seems to me that the camcorder style video recorder is now redundant such is it's quality. Also you have the ability to shoot quality stills which, from the X920, is appalling. Seems to me that the FZ1000 is the way to go!
Hey Graham Houghton, thank you for the great video! I did all you suggest here, but in Modus "A" my Lumix FZ 1000 is set to 800 ISO and you suggest it should be 100 (lowest possible). I can't figure out how to adhust this, perhaps you can halp me out, thank you!
Good morning..I'm undecided if to buy a fz200 or a fz70. I would use it for Photography and for vlogging. What can you suggest? Thank you very much. Andrea.
+sbisio75 I just went through this. same cameras. I chose fz200. This is what u have to think about.. What is important to u? its a bridge camera thats old, its all i could afford or i would get a fz1000. It isnt gonna do everthing perfectly at all times. neither the fz200 or fz70. If all you have had is a phone camera like myself, both would probably amaze you. I personally chose the fz200 bc when i was doing research i kept hearing about how high aperture numers diminsish image quality in low light settings, and i figure over the next few years i'll probably wanna shoot in some low light settings, and ik from this channel that the camera can shoot pictures in a quality far above what i have ever managed with my phone. the fz200 also seems to be very well respected in forums and reviews that i see. kinda just rambling, but both will allow you to post pictures on social media that will blow everyones camera phone sunset pics out the water. But pretty much from all that I gathered, fz200 had OVERALL better image quality.. barely. It also has more options, the flip out lcd screen etc, and the fz70 has better mp, waaaay more zoom, not even close there. What got me though at the end, fz200 2.8 aperture through the full zoom. As you can see though you can sort of effect aperature still. fz700 is fixed, aperature soley depends on how far in you are zoomed. Maybe it has same option to play with aperture in settings. I never seen that myself. Im not the expert like him, Hopefully he'll get to you. But i hope my novel helped you just a little in some way

Another excellent video, thanks Graham. It's particularly useful to know those F Numbers 2.8 for shallow DOF and 4 to 5.6 for landscapes.
You're an excellent teacher! An excellent review of basic photography!

@grahamhoughton for FZ70 shooting sports, would you suggest shutter priority over aperture or manual? Outdoor football probably around 1/640-1/1000?
Brilliant video Graham! Would love your thoughts on a few good filters for beginners and their uses
I finally get it. Sort of. Thank you very much for such a simple but vital lesson.
I completely agree! Understanding the exposure triangle is key!
thanks for your help. i never thaught i could get into photography but with your guidance i am determined to get there.
anytime just email me through my photoblog support@grahamhoughton.com
Very nice & clear explanation Graham... well done, thank you.

Great summation of the variables! One question: how does one determine the "native ISO" of a given camera??? Thanks!
I think it's always 100
@@isaacsanchez7317 Not neccesarily, but often it is. You easily be able to find it online or by just going to the lowest value,
@@poplix2704 yep very true i found that a lot of sony's often are 50
hi Graham is there a pdf version of this video? i don't know english as well to understand all these recommendations..thanks

King of the camera!

Any suggestion on making color adjustments? My images are different colors between auto and aperture setting.
Dear Graham, your videos are truly addictive, but perhaps i haven't seen enough of them -:) as I have a question - why would you not recommend to use the P mode as the main one, where you can shift up and down the speed or aperture balance; especially if you have fixed the iso...?

May I ask which camera used to shoot this vidio pl. Thanks
Can't be 100% but I think it was the Canon 70D
Aperture also hive you background blur, shutter gives you motion blur.
Great video, thanks.
This man is a genius

Excellent ! I say no more.
You mention "Camera's base ISO", where is that documented. I have the DMC G7 .
The base ISO of any digital camera is the lowest the camera can go & is what the camera is set by default
Maybe it is the lowest it can go?
Plz put subtitle for foreigners
nadia lapina why? Can't you understand British English?
