Re: ZS200 Autofocus Unreliable

OK... Stuck head out front door & fired these off quickly as a rough example. Used the garage door "98A" as the target point. Also included the same image from the ZS100. This is pretty indicative of the norm here... Better sharpness after focus peaking, but the ZS100 gets it right without tweaking. (All other settings NR/Shrp/Con/Sat) identical on both.

ZS 200 Auto f/6.4 1/640 ISO125 360mm Center Meter, 1 Point focus (Center)

ZS 200 Manual f/6.4 1/640 ISO125 360mm Center Meter, 1 Point focus (Center)

ZS 100 Auto f/5.9 1/800 ISO125 250mm Center Meter, 1 Point focus (Center)

These were fired off next, same as above. I didn't bother w/ manual focus on the ZS200, and this is indicative of a "snapshot" scenario when running and gunning.
