Panasonic Dmc Tz80 Manual Download _TOP

I've found continuous autofocus off seems to avoid the camera constantly going in an out of focus, which is good, but I can't seem to get a decent quality consistently. I find the manual's discussion on AE, AF, and everything related to focus, extremely confusing, and I freely admit I don't understand what I'm really doing.

So my main issue is understanding what the manual is saying about this stuff. It honestly reads to me at least like it's written for people that already know all about this stuff. I have no real idea what ISO, aperture, shutter speed etc etc etc are. I know people would probably say I should do a course or something, but the reality is I just want to use the camera for one specific purpose and leave it setup to do that.

Now, the camera definitely has continuous autofocus on and off (I turned it to off as this seemed reasonable). It definitely also has manual focus, basically as far as I can tell all the standard things.

I also did quite a bit of reading after seeing what you said about focus lock. So what I ended up doing was continuous autofocus off, then manual focus, and then using the control ring to adjust the focus, including using peaking. The puzzle was in focus but my hands and the puzzle to an extent seemed to be grainy-ish. So i got an extra lamp and shone that on, and now as far as I can see, the video is extremely good. It's clear, focussed and looks great.

My technique for manual focus is to turn till I've gone just past the focus point, then turn it back a bit. But it seems you have to turn it quite quickly to get anything like normal focusing speed. That's fine for the first part, but when I'm reversing back to the focus point, I naturally have to turn slower, and then it changes so slowly I "get lost" and can't work out how far I've got to go.

Yes, I use and recommend autofocus for pretty much everything. It is faster and more accurate than manual focus. For the bird-in-the-bushes problem I use the smallest AF area box. Some people use pinpoint AF but I am not sure if the TZ80 offers this. Anyway pinpoint is slower than 1Area AF so even with cameras which do offer pinpoint I don't use it.

If you are looking for an easy compact camera, with a long range optical zoom (720mm is pretty unique), than the Panasonic TZ80 is a great buy (check the price in US, best price in Australia). I consider this camera to be also the first step to a more professional camera, so easy to go in manual mode.

This advanced manual comes as a 406-page pdf. Even a dedicated manual reader starts to succumb to glazed eyes well before reaching page 406, so what's to be done with a manual of this size, which is by no means the exception where camera user guides are concerned?

Putting such a large book on a computer is ridiculous. It might occasionally be used for reference, but to sit down and absorb the information means putting it on some device more analogous to a book. It could be printed, hole-punched and put into a ring binder. This is how we have handled many camera and computer software manuals over the years, before iPad.

The best way to keep a manual in easily accessible and portable form is on a tablet. We have user guides for cameras and applications in iBooks on the iPad. They are searchable, always to hand and haven't used up any trees.

There is a theory that any electronic device that needs a manual is defective in its design. Every function and operation should be intuitive. And if you need a manual to find and use the function then it's not worth having.

If the shooting mode is set to Auto then the manual can be thrown away, but in the process the features engineered into the camera to produce the best images are also thrown away. A digital camera is a complex device deserving of respect. Which means reading the manual.

The Panasonic camera reviewed today comes with a 75-page Basic Owner's Manual. The full \\\"Owner's manual for advanced features\\\" \\u2013 in other words a manual covering everything the camera can do \\u2013 must be downloaded from the company's website.

THE LOW-DOWN: This compact camera has a 30x zoom lens (24\\u2013720mm) and an 18 megapixel sensor. It has a small electronic viewfinder. It shoots 4K video and stills. The controls are comprehensive and similar to the company's mirrorless cameras. It is well made and feels robust. Apart from the smaller sensor and the longer zoom it is similar to the TZ110 reviewed \\u2013 and praised \\u2013 last week. They share the same user manual.

Another feature which has been carried over from the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ80's predecessor include the 0.2-inch 1160k-dot LVF (Live Viewfinder) with eye sensor. The TZ80 can shoot in raw format and includes manual and semi-automatic exposure modes.

While it's nice to see manual control and raw format shooting, this camera seems better placed as something for beginners, rather than enthusiasts who may expect better image quality, especially if you're looking for a back-up to your DSLR or compact system camera. If you're after superb image quality in all situations, you'd do well to take a look at the more premium TZ100, which features a one-inch sensor and sits above the TZ80.

So... I'm shocked to find its abilities, across the board, appear inferior to those of a modern camera-phone, excepting only the TZ80's 720mm telephoto. However even in bright daylight around noon, whether in automatic or carefully tuned manual, I found the long end of the zoom to be virtually unusable, condemned by extreme softness at its best focus, severe chromatic abb' (deep purple fringing and turqoise haze on any contrasting edge all the way into the middle of the photo) and very slow shutter speeds forcing the use of at least 800-1600 ISO. 006ab0faaa
