ZS100/TZ100 shots

[Tom Schum]

Here are a few.

Please contribute ZS100 or TZ100 images if you have some to share!

Near and far bokeh at 250mm equivalent zoom.

250mm equivalent zoom. This flower is a survivor, a little worn by time and weather but still nice.

250mm equivalent zoom.

135mm equivalent zoom.

Here's some recent ZS100 ones. All pushed to the hilt at 500mm EFL with i.zoom and cropped.

It just isn't long enough focal length to reach out there for these little birds.

Guess I need to plant some trees closer to the deck.

Just wish it had a tilting rear screen!

I've had 3+ years of happy use from my TZ100 - and look forward to several more.

Of those I've posted to Flickr, rather surprisingly this one has now received over 53,000 views.

Far from the best picture I've ever taken, but nice enough?

It has it all: People, birds, backlight, and beer!

Results are better than I would have expected. I need to give i.zoom a try!

These are great and I especially like the first one! Best expression!

It's nice to know that the camera does such a good job at max zoom, and that I'm not the only user doing it.

At max zoom you have to be careful not to let stray light shine into the lens - not having a lens hood does not help. Otherwise it is all too easy to end up with 'glow' that some people might like - I don't.

When shooting people in motion I find it best to fire off a burst and then pick a good one and delete the rest.

I like the sharpness, details and colours in the JPEG files produced by the ZS100. I mostly use the EVF to frame, and have no complaints about it nor the fixed LCD. I consider the lens very good although I don’t do long zooms often.

The ZS100’s rich operations, on the one hand, coupled with the lousy factory settings for JPEG, on the other, may disappoint certain inexperienced users – including some one-day reviewers – who expect to get “nice photos” without any learning curve.

The images below are SOOC, uncropped, downsampled for online sharing.

I like the sun-soaked feel of this shot.

Yes the lens hood is a missing "something we need".

I have not thought too much about the "glow" so far, but I've seen it. One thing that I found the other day was that stopping the lens down from F5.9 to F7.1 seemed to help quite a bit.


But, I took two shots and compared them and the difference is very small.

I have pretty well decided that my Z100 likes 7.1 the best. Would not bet a bunch of money on that yet, but so far, that is where I am for when I can.

One of the problems that keep coming up for me is that the camera will spontaneously change from F7.1 to F5.9 even though I have it in Aperture Priority mode.

Have you noticed this?

I have to constantly monitor the F-stop setting because of this.

 

[Bob A L]

No, I have not. Could you be rolling the top dial with your thumb accidentally?

No, I have not. Could you be rolling the top dial with your thumb accidentally?

I have to watch what I am doing more closely. I think it happens when I turn off the camera and then turn it back on again, and zoom out to max.

I just tried it and no luck.

But I think you might be right. I must be hitting that top right dial accidentally and that changes the F-stop setting.

Here are three more, all at max zoom. These are from Four Mile Run creek, across the street from Shirlington in Arlington Virginia.

These photos were taken in RAW and processed with DXO or SilkyPix and Topaz Denoise AI and I am still learning, after 4 years of owning this camera, to continue improving my process to get the best out of this camera.

That's interesting. I've always been an advocate for using A mode wide open and letting the camera stop down when zooming. I'll have to audition it on my ZS100.
