help you to understand the controls and features that this camera
provides and help you to progress into digital photography with the
minimum of concerns. If you really get hooked then you may find that
additional research into some of the topics that I will explore will help
speed this journey.
►Advanced point and shooter who is upgrading: There are many
technically well specified cameras out there in the market place.
Panasonic has an extensive range of models to suit consumer lifestyles.
Models like the LX series and TZ (ZS) series do have many user
definable options and settings and it is quite possible you have a lot of
technical expertise with these cameras. You may have recognised some
of the inherent problems associated with this class of camera like slow
autofocus or shutter lag and sometimes the restricted aperture or zoom
range available on them. The possibility of using more powerful,
external
flash units, external microphones to record better sound for your video
clips and simple things like the facility to employ filters to modify the light
entering the camera or provide creative effects may be another reason
you have decided to purchase the Panasonic Lumix FZ200.
►Traditional Silver halide (film emulsion) users new to the digital
era: You probably know all about photography, you understand f-stops,
shutter speed and ISO which make up the components of the “exposure
triangle”. You may even have had one of the more sophisticated film
cameras which also employ some pretty slick electronics like autofocus
and metering modes. All you really need is the relevant information on
using the digital specific features of the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 and how
to match, or exceed the capabilities of your previous film based camera.
►Professional Users: I expect you to be the most discerning readers
who have already extensive working knowledge of digital photography
and the associated digital work flow. I cannot teach you much more about
digital photography but hopefully allow you to experience the joys of
shooting digital images with the Panasonic Lumix FZ200. You might
feel
like I do that the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 will provide a tool to capture
great images in a variety of situations without the added hassle of a
DSLR and lens systems providing you with a very quick,
lightweight and
feature rich machine to do it with.
