FZ5: S1 Mode better than S2

Hi,

this evening i tried to compare S1 and S2 mode......
I made many pics in evening ambient light at home.
ALWAYS less "shaking" with S1....

Then i was comparing these pics (S1 and S2 mode) pics with pics toook in hearth mode (obiovusly same object, same position and same moment) , i can say that those one are better....

Did u see this things?

ciao

Alessandro

I'd be interested in seeing your pics.

Do you have it posted on any site? Thanks.

That is strange.
In many reviews testers said that mode2 is better than mode1 in most situations.
Hart mode is just a simple menu mode, nothing more, so pics can't be better.

I tested it out when I read this thread. When I have it on mode 2 at long zoom, it seems it is a bit jittery. When I have it at long zoom mode 1, it seems it is smooth with no jitters. I now keep it on mode 1 as it seems alot better for me personally.

It depends on your focal length - I find mode 1 great for zoom > 12x (i.e. using digital zoom) but can usually hold it steady enough below that and use Mode 2.

Heart mode uses OIS 1 and auto everything else.

I have yet to find a good way of getting good focus indoors in low light even when the focus assist lamp is in range! That is the most frustrating feature of the FZ5 IMO. Still - lots of thread about focussing issues and the FZ5 so I won't hijack this one!
