- My continuation of this series looking at the FZ2000/2500 bridge camera.
In this video I look at how to use the manual exposure mode, use the best metering mode for your scene and how to use the highlight/shadow curves to affect contrast changes in your image.
Plenty of on screen illustrations and examples.

In the next video I will be setting the scene for recording video
Hi Graham. Like so many others on here - just want to say a huge "thank you" for these terrific guides. You put so much work and planning into these and its very much appreciated! Cheers!
thanks for the great feedback, it is really appreciated.
This is a great series of videos where I've learnt a lot - thanks!
Hi Graham, any update on when you will doing the Tutorial on shooting video on the FZ2000?
Hi Graham, a really nice summary of this All-in-the-Box Camera. In german forums are the FT2000 often unliked so all swear of the FZ1000M2. For me are the video capabilities of the FZ2000 however better in my use case (Weather, Lightning Strokes, Fog).
Thank you for this nice series
Loving this series of instructional videos . Thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing your more than considerable knowledge.
Really appreciated, thank you
You are the BEST! I learn from you! You show me what is right in from of me but I never saw it before! Thanks Graham!
Thank you, glad the content is useful
Thanks for taking the time out do do this Graham
Another great video thank you. One thing I picked up on is the highlight/shadow button. I seem to remember we have that in the 300 and have wondered how to use it. So now I know !! Thank you
Thank you Graham. I always learn a lot from your informative videos. I have an FZ1000 and would prefer to shoot more in Manual, but worry that over-use of the back control wheel will give me the grief that my old FZ200 did, when it failed, out of warranty! Mostly I can get round this by using the Q menu button. Trouble is, it's so slow to navigate, so I resort to S or A modes instead. Anyway, the 1000 is a great camera. Thanks again.
looking for part 5 making videos with FZ2500 Are you making one on shooting VIDEO?? bob
Good day! I have enjoyed your guides and suggestions for the FZ-300 for several years. Nice to see you continuing with other cameras and comparisons. Recently I did buy a new FZ-2500 for those situations where light was not favorable for the FZ-300 or some of the new features are missing. I took your advice about reducing the Sharpening and Diffraction Compensation on. I see sharpness is improved. I am curious if you have done more testing and included other setup choices in combination? Whatever thoughts on this subject are welcome. I shoot ultra closeups of flowers and long zoom for birds with both cameras frequently. All the best!
another very useful video, thanks Graham
Thank you, Mr. Houghton.
Hi. Could you tell me which camera is better fz2500 vs fz1000 m2? Which picture will be better? Which lens is better?
Hi Graham! I would like to know what's the longest possible exposure time in manual mode, and what's the fastest? I'll try my FZ 2000 to astrophotography! Thank you for your videos!
Have you tried photographing Comet Neowise with the FZ2000
@Graham Houghton please can we get the tutorial on making videos on the FZ2000/2500
Dear Graham,
I hope I am at the right section of you very informative channel
I have a "system error zoom" problem with FZ2000.
when switched on, zoom is not extending and I get "system error zoom". message.
And I'm concerned about trusting the services to take them apart.
If they open /unscrew parts and they may charge something I may not
need it or break more parts than what exist in reality. And most of the
services electronic items returned comes back with more problems and or
they need to be taken to the services again and again.
I don't know what to do?
I appreciate your further suggestions
thank you in advance
I would like to watch tutorial for shooting video. Which one is it? Bob
This is mainly a video camera and nothing about video so far?
Hello Mr. Houghton, I learnd a lot from you're video's !! But I have a question about the 24-480 mm F2.8-4.5 Zoom Lens from Leika. I try to make images a bit better with Darkroom. But in some case' s I get a realy strange effect when I open a image. The image is deformd, and has a big vignet on the outside of de picture. I can crop the image but the I lose a lot of the picture. Some one told me that is the fault in the lens of the FZ2000. But when I open the jpg file all is wel. Is this an error of Panasonic ??
Hi Graham, thanks for the informative videos. I have a FZ25000 and would like to know how to initiate back button focus rather than using the shutter button half press method. Can't seem to find how to do this in the menu. Thanks.
It looks like a good suggestion for another video. I'll try to get it done soon.
@@GrahamHoughton12 Thanks, that sounds good. Also I forgot to ask you, how do you select a single point focus area in 'IA' mode, rather than the cameras selection. Thanks again for your time and help. Steve.
@@stevenperkins4239 I'm not sure that single point AF is available in iA mode as the camera is allowed to determine the most likely focus points from the 49 area it monitors.
@@GrahamHoughton12 OK, thanks for your reply. Regards Steve.
My front wheel changes shutter speed and my top wheel changes aperture?can someone explain how to swap this
Nice vid Graham but why the low res 360p quality ?
You must have viewed before RUclips fully rendered the video - it is in 4K from the settings option
I must have its ok now
Agree! Where were you 40 years ago! LOL
Can the FZ2000 merge video clips in-camera, Graham? (Amazon have a good deal at the moment and I'm thinking of buying one.)
No, do that in post processing. Don't let that put you off the FZ2000/2500! See Claudinchenchen's channel for examples. For the best viewing see on a 4K TV, the results are sensational.
@@simmo303 Thanks for the reply, Simon.
@@johnlatter You're welcome. I've just sold my FZ1000 and bought the 2500. Haunt eBay for a deal maybe?
@@simmo303 I do look at eBay from time to time but at the moment I'm concentrating on Amazon and other mainstream retailers. Nothing against eBay, mind you (I've purchased lots of bargains there) it's more that I don't have enough online time.
@@johnlatter I nearly bought this: www.harrisoncameras.co.uk/pd/used-panasonic-lumix-fz2000-digital-bridge-camera_used-wk7aa002568?gclid=CjwKCAiA9K3gBRA4EiwACEhFe4MA21HM2DgnT-cfIc6pj4OPaENRB33yYI5e81Phxs-QJAkPlCGoHBoCRTEQAvD_BwE but I was lucky enough to catch a slightly better deal on eBay. Did you know that you can get eBay to send you notices when what you want is listed? Saves you constantly looking. No bargains on Amazon anymore!
