I've bought the dmc-fz82 before your videos just today. Do you think it's a good Câmara for weddings, couples sessions? The colors look a bit "dead" needs a bit more color I think. What do you think? You videos are very good keep it up and thank you
Thanks Graham for the invaluable tutorials. I bought the FZ80 a month or so ago and after many years of using an iPhone for pictures I had become lazy. The camera and your tutorials have reinvigorated my photographic interests.
What a brilliant lesson, I have revisited these videos numerous time sine I got my camera a year ago. Definitely helped me with taking better photography. Thank you Gramham
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos for us. I've learned so much more by watching your videos then I have by pouring over the manual.
This is a great series of videos! A clear and organized presentation by someone who really knows what they are doing. No fluff, just practical instruction. Thanks for all the time and thought that went into them.
Thanks Again Graham, for Another Great Video. I've learned more from these first 2 videos alone, than I would ever have learned by trying to figure it out by myself. 👍🏻
Well, I bought my FZ48 about ten years ago and since then have been using it quite often. Watching your videos now still shows me some great, (at least for me) hidden features of the little camera. Thanks a lot! :-)
Thank you for great informative videos. I bought this camera last week and have had terrible results with over exposed, noise and low resolution and your videos are helping me to trouble shoot so thank you for that.
Another great video. This video is essential for anyone who wants to learn this camera. If you are new to photography and want something a little more advanced than automatic point and shoot this video and instruction are the most detailed and extremely helpful. Thank you Graham.
Thanks so much for making this informative video, Graham! I just got a used FZ80 last week and am learning so much through your invaluable instruction. Can’t thank you enough for simplifying things for me!
Me and a friend have just purchased this camera and the videos you do will be a great help understanding the functions, I would like to say thank you for helping people to understand how to use it.
Hey, my first comment ever on RU-vid, and I just wanted to thank you for these incredibly useful videos. My wife and I just got one of these and found the manual borderline incomprehensible. Your videos, on the other hand, are excellent and I feel now like we can actually get some use out of the camera. Thanks SO much for the time you take in making these!
Graham you know the stars bright in the night. But you bright in day!!the for many of us who can’t find the propers words to say Thanks to you. Thanks a lot👍👍😃😃
Thank you so much Graham...these series of videos have been extremely helpful to me...I have had a very frustrating couple of years trying to work out what settings etc. to use..you have made it all very simple...much appreciated!
Brilliant tutorials,Graham. I've had my camera 6 months now and I must admit that up until now I've been a bit scared to play around with it. Primarily bought it to take on holiday to California earlier this year, only wish I'd seen your videos before I went and maybe I'd have come back with less blurry images! Really looking forward to the next one. Learning loads. Thanks
Thanks, Graham! Though only recently picking up my FZ80, I’m happy to have found these in-depth instructional videos to compensate for the lack of mfg literature. Cheers to you!
I bought an fz80 about 5 months ago and I learned things I didn’t even know it could do, It’s great to see someone doing tutorials for it. I Subscribed.
Actually there are quite a few hidden gems in the camera that Panasonic do not reveal - even in the advanced user guide! I will be showcasing some of them later in this series.
Cheers... to Graham! The tutorials are so helpful and easy to understand, I appreciate the time you have taken to help your viewers! I have just purchased my 2nd FZ80, after dropping my 1st out of the auto a few months ago. The photos I had been able to take with this camera have been quite exceptional considering the investment, and I have loved this camera for a few years. The new one appears to have a few more options than my other, so I searched the net for some help. I hope to learn more about the capabilities as well as the technology.... thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help, Graham, I appreciate you!
I am researching which bridge camera to get and because of all these SUPER informative video's, I have made my choice! Thank you so much for your time and effort!!
Wonderful. Bought the camera 1 week before vacation and needed a quick learn. Got more from you than the manual and other RU-vid vids. Thank you for doing these.
Graham, great video as ALWAYS, but you really have to get to some of the questions in the comment section. You have such a big fan base (myself included), and you will lose numbers by ignoring people... dont let all your hard work and reviews unravell ..just some advise :)
Your series so far has been invaluable in understanding my new FZ-80. Information is very limited even on the 'net. I'm so looking forward to your insights and instruction on the other modes of this camera (S, A and M)! Thank you!
got one of these cameras a couple of days ago as a starter camera, been wanting to get a proper camera for vacation photos since i'm done with using cellphones to take pictures, and i was looking ath the cannon hs540 and the fz82 was just 50€ more with a load of extra features, so i think it was a good choice and a great deal. however, after years without a decent camera and it not having controls on the lens, the menus where a bit overwhelming at first. That being said, massive thanks for putting up these videos, real lucky to have found them, they've been a huge help. Been learning so much, and far more than i could hope to by myself. Keep it up, very good work, fine sir.
Really good useful stuff Graham. Many thanks. The guide which comes with the camera is really inadequate, but by looking at your great videos we can begin to understand the camera.
Hello Graham from Atlanta Georgia appreciate you showing how to work that camera such a great camera I really appreciate that my friend God bless and take care
Thanks for this video. I own a Sony RX100 iv. Although this is a different camera the video helps me understand the setting and how to use them on my camera.
Hi thanks. If I am not usually using a tripod what is a general good ISO setting. I understand you said 80 is good but you said it's because you are using a tripod.
Dear Mr.Graham. I briefly had the Panasonic lumix 80 but had to send it back because of picture quality due to a small sensor. I bought a Nikon 3500 instead. The Lumix FZ80 is a great camera for wildlife and for capturing things that require zoom. But if you are a beginner photographer who wants to get real pictures and not interested in 4K video capabilities then the Nikon 3500 and Nikon 5600 are excellent. The Lumix FZ80 is an overpriced point and shoot camera in my opinion.
Graham, Thanks for your very informative and useful tutorials. I'd be lost without them. Question tho - weirdly on my FZ80 the Photo Style option in the "P" menu is grayed out. Unfortunately, as I'd love to change it to "Vivid"
Hello Sir. I've seen most of your videos are about the FZ series cameras could you also do a video about the G series like G85, GH5 etc and have a comparison amongst various varieties as to which would better suit a beginner enthusiast travel photographer vis-a-vis how can a modern phone camera like Sony xperia help in things like vlogging. Many thanks.
Thanks for that was giving up hope with the complexity of the camera, just could not grasp the settings ! Result.... Rubbish end product, sell the camera take up fishing. Found your video, new hope. relearning the basics still making mistakes but not as many keep the information coming believe me I need it. Many thanks
Hi Graham - thank you for all of your help! I do have a comment or questions regarding the P setting. When I choose P I cannot seem to adjust the PHOTO STYLE like you have in the above video. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is greyed out - all other settings looks to be same as what you have. Any idea? Thanks in advance.
I will be issuing a free e-book for the FZ1000 to subscribers of the photoblog, the newsletter will be key to seeing where and when this will be available
Very enjoyable and clear cut instruction and explanation. Thank you. I'm considering buying this camera to use as my long zoom alongside my 5D MkIV which is a big learning curve for me. It will also replace my FZ200 but will it? The FZ200 did magnificent service, mostly without my input! I'm worried not having f/2.8 all the way through with the FZ80 will make low light situations untenable whereas the FZ200 took that in its stride. Any thoughts on this please, should I or shouldn't I? Apologies for the long Q.
I'm a bit worried about the poor reviews of image quality and noise in photos of ISO 800+. I love the zoom ratio, 4K video and other features, but the noise issue is a non-starter. Some people also complain about indoor color. Any comments?
In fact any 1/2.3 inch sensor camera will show noise at ISO 800 and because of image processing in JPEG the noise reduction is quite aggressive as the ISO increases causing smearing and loss of fine detail. LIGHT is the key to getting good images with this camera with a realistic ISO ceiling of ISO 400. Indoor colour may be due to a mix of daylight/artificial you have to balance for one or the other the camera cannot cope with both.
I take a lot of bird pictures and as you know they don't sit still and I cannot go on changing settings as my chance to take a good photo is very limited. What is the best setting in P mode with shake control etc I can use. The IA setting does not seem to work too well for me as the subject is often blurred. Can you give me settings that I do not need to change constantly for these birds? I'd appreciate your help.
Hi what's the best ISO to use without a tripod? I'm going on safari soon and have purchased this camera for it so if you have a recommended setting that would be amazing?! thanks
HI a couple off Airshows a year Biggin Hill and Bournemouth will this camera be ok i will be using manual focusing as i dont want the lens to focus on the cloud at the same time i dont want to spend silly money on 100 to 600mm lens either so will this be ideal for me and will the qulity be ok for airshows
