I only recently acquired my FZ80 camera and am really enjoying this series on bridge cameras. It has already given me some hugely valuable tips on general photography and how to use special setups. Also good to learn of some quirks and limitations of the FZ80. Terrific series and your presentation is first rate. Thanks Graham.
Hi Graham. I have to say a huge thank you for your tutorial series!! I'm brand new to using a "propper" camera, basically only ever used a mobile phone. Your videos have enabled me to purchase and use the FZ82 with more confidence and have managed to create some really quite good images. This has always been something I wanted to explore but didnt really understand the jargon etc. You have broke it down in such an easy to understand way and I'm very grateful for your help. Just wanted to say thank you. Your photography knowledge is second to none !!! ATB. Simon. 👍
Thanks for this video. You are definitely a Panasonic/Lumix important resource. The new FZ1000 M2 looks amazing. What could be your expectations for a NEW FZ2000/2500, or FZ2000/2500 M2: - A G90/95 body like, headphones+Mic Jacks, 4K,... - and more... Thanks.
Hi Graham I really appreciate the amount of time you put into these videos. Sometimes it's easy to get bogged down in the technical aspects of the craft and forget that photography is all about helping us see the world differently. I am just curious as to whether you will be doing a tutorial on image editing in this series? I am getting to grips with this at the moment so would appreciate a video on basic editing. I have recently started using Luminar 3 to edit my raw files and am impressed by some of the AI corrections the software is capable of. But sometimes it's hard to know when to bump up saturation or vibrancy or by how much. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Editing is always a personal preference and what some people like others will not. I see editing as a process to recreate what I saw with my "minds eye" when I captured the image. Sometimes exaggerated reality works for some subjects. Luminar has a lot to offer and with Luminar 4 there will be more potential to create wonderful images with AI.
Thanks Graham, after 6 months I’m still struggling to get a satisfactory photo from my FZ 2000, seems the focus is always slightly out which is strange as I’m using the auto focus. Need more practice I think.
Try one auto focus shot and then switch to manual focus and take one and then compare the two images at 100%. Unlike DSLR the bridge camera uses the actual image on the sensor to get the focus position so it should be pin sharp. The technology (DFD) can actually get out of focus images at times - I've proved this time and time again however like the FZ1000 zoom/focus ring issues nobody believes it is a problem!
Hi Graham, I have the fz330 and mainly shoot landscapes in raw I love shooting at sunrise and sunset but struggle with picture quality. I always shot on a tripod. Is there any settings you can recommend or am I best looking at upgrading my camera?
Graham as always you explain and show examples in a clear and easy to understand way. Much appreciated! Thank you.
Thanks Graham. i really like this series so far. Very practical.

Outstanding Tutorial! Thank You!
I'm going to see if my Panasonic DMC-FZ150 has enough of the settings mentioned......
