Since end August 2008 I have my FZ28.
The Panasonic FZ28 is for me an amazing daylight travel camera in combination with my compact lowlight Fuji F31fd.
My case is the Dörr
Malta Mini: it is a small and gives a a good protection.
For lens protection I use a 46mmv-haze B+W UV-filter and
I hardly use my lens-cap.
I use always a wrist cord and not the neck
strap.
If you can avoid it: don't use small diafragmas (A
8) on the FZ28, it will make your photos look softer. You will lose
details due to difraction.
Avoid strong underexposure: moonpictures show
that FZ28 pictures have noise-artefacts if the exposuretime is not
high enough.
With the macro setting yYou can catch small objects
with
different zoomfactors (= focuslengths). Different focuslengths give
a different magnification (Field of View) of the object.
The minimal object distance varies with the focuslength (and
is not detailed presented in the fz28 screen).
My measurements are
:
1x zoom (F 4.8) on 1 cm catches an object of 3.5 cm (magification=100%)
16x tele zoom (F86.4) on 90cm catches an object of 10 cm (magification=35%)
Make your Moonshots In the Manual exposure mode.
