We have seen all the shooting modes available on the Panasonic Lumix
FZ200 camera; let’s take a look at some of the other “REC Mode” menu
options which can be adjusted in these modes.
Other REC Mode Functions
In the set up mode for stills photography there are a number of additional
parameters which can be enabled, or disabled, depending upon the type
of photography employed.
Quick AF.
In an attempt to speed up the
autofocus of the camera
Panasonic employ the Quick
AF function. If this is enabled
as soon as the camera
detects that it is no longer
moving, for example if you
bring the camera up to your
eye, then as soon as you
stop, the camera starts to
focus – even before you have
half depressed the shutter
button.
This may help in some situations, however it also very hungry on battery
power. It will constantly be attempting to focus every time the camera
detects that there is no camera movement.
Even more power depleting if you have focus mode set to continuous
autofocus – it could end up continuously focusing whilst you set your
camera down whilst you have a coffee!
Unless you are seriously concerned about the few seconds it might takes
the camera to fix and lock exposure and focus I would turn this feature
off to reserve battery power.
