Actual tracking speed will also depend upon how erratically the subject is
moving, the subject contrast, lighting conditions and the focal length of
the lens. It might also be apparent that with this type of focusing style
considerably more battery power is consumed during the period of time
the shutter button is being held half depressed and you are tracking your
subject.
Manual Focus
The implementation of manual focus is somewhat of a mixed blessing.
It’s a worthwhile addition to the functionality of the Panasonic Lumix
FZ200 however the mechanics of its control can border on frustration at
times. In video mode it is almost impossible to achieve a manual “focus
pull” successfully.
It does however retain the excellent visual indicator scale of the
predecessor range of bridge camera which not only shows the actual
focusing distance but also the amount of DOF (depth of field) at the
current focal length (zoom setting) of the lens.
The Manual Focus Scale
The process of engaging manual focus begins with sliding the AF/AF
macro/Manual slide switch on the side of the lens barrel to the Manual
position.
