LX100. What questions do you still have?

Only interested in the LX100 composite video out. No HDMI needed!

Cheers, Jon

Why toss the HDMI when you could capture with this?

Has more to do with weight, Gimbal & UAV compatibility!!! Don't exactly know where your going on this. My UAV can't fly longer than 18 minutes anyway.

The HDMI recorder only weighs 5 ounces. The camera's HDMI output is of high quality. The AV composite output in the past (e.g. FZ200) has been very low resolution. I can't find specs for the newer cameras' AV output, so I don't know if there's been any improvement.

Letting my ignorance hang out there completely... - If your flights are short, why bother with a recorder at all. You can just use the camera (and even shoot 4k video)

Two questions:

1. How do you use wifi to upload stills from the camera's card to iPhoto on a Mac desktop (running Snow Leopard 10.6.8)?

2. In Manual Mode, given the EV dial doesn't work - how would you get EV, i.e. to control the shutter speed and aperture, but override the Auto ISO setting in difficult lighting conditions?

Thanks.

There's a lot of FZ1000-related WiFi information linked here

Mine will arrive tomorrow & need to find a USB composite video cable for my FPV setup on my UAV.

Thanks for any information on this!
"No video out (hdmi and composite) during recording and standby. Only in Playback Mode. It would have been perfect for copters"

 
480 would be perfect! Not to steer, mostly to compose pictures!

Honestly when I wrote “Can you live without a flash?”. I actually forgot that the flash came in the box. I was thinking that it simply didn’t have a flash at all.

Now that I have used it I have a different philosophy. I see it as “The LX100 has a removable flash where other cameras don’t”. If I don’t want the flash on the LX100 I simply take it off. With other cameras I don’t have a choice the flash is always there. In most cases with other cameras the flash is there instead of a brilliant EVF like the LX100 has.

I would rather have the EVF and the removable flash than not have the EVF and have a non-removable flash.
 
Maybe you missed my question from earlier in the thread:

I've read conflicting reports about the 1080p video recording limit - is it 29:59 or 120 minutes? It would be fantastic if you could just let it shoot until the camera automatically stops recording and report back.

1. Page 18 of the PDF manual I downloaded from Panasonic UK says:

"[AVCHD] motion pictures: Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 29 minutes and 59 seconds"

2. Whereas the Panasonic UK website says:

"Continuous recordable time (motion pictures) AVCHD Approx. 120 min (FHD/50p), Approx. 125 min (FHD/50i)"

http://www.panasonic.com/uk/consume...nd-shoot/compact-cameras/dmc-lx100.html#specs

Many thanks for this Q/A opportunity.
Check the text at the very bottom of the page referenced in #2 for additional information, which is consistent with #1

Wow .... bummer!!! Looks like they shot themselves in the foot! :-x :-x :-x

Thanks for the info, Cheers, Jon
 
The ISO 6400 pictures - The candy in a primarily red package in the center seems sharper (and smaller as expected) in the LX100.
 
So for the US version, is there any hope that the LX100 will record longer than 30 minutes?
