Note that the reports say less of an issue, not eliminated. My G9 panning motorsports shots show rolling shutter effects unless I use mechanical shutter. It's not glaring but I certainly see it, ...

As a former Canon EOS user myself (digital & film), there is a Canon equivalent for all three AF modes: AFS: One Shot AFC: AI Servo AFF: AI Focus Steve

For my personal method of shooting, I use AFS or AFC when doing autofocus. I find that AFF doesn't track fast-moving objects as well as AFC. That said, I also have a few Custom Sets built for ...

The FZ2500 is very quiet, especially compared to the FZ1000, but not totally silent. If you hold the lens up to your ear with the camera turned on, there's a slight hissing noise - but it's got to ...

Just a word re: the AF settings. Read the description of AF Sensitivity carefully: as I read it, it controls how "stubborn" the camera is about relinquishing focus on one subject in favor of another. ...

I also photograph motor sports & airshows, and for trackside access the PL 50-200 is just about perfect in focal length range. Works well for airshows too if you can get close to the flight line. ...

Any Panasonic lens is capable of DFD on a DFD body, up to the performance limits of its focusing system. DFD-capable bodies, like the G9, have the DFD info for every older lens built before DFD was ...

I'm not a professional (deriving an income from photography), but I definitely appreciated the similar UI when I moved from my FZ2500 to the G9. Made the whole initial setup very easy & I was "up ...

Yes, that description fits the normal operation. As mentioned, it's a zoom-by-wire setup, so turning the ring tells a motor inside the lens which way & how fast to drive the zoom mechanism. It can ...

Depending on what you choose, you may not need anything additional. The on-board image stabilization in many modern cameras makes additional camera support unnecessary in many situations. At least, ...

While I can't discuss the Nikon AF - I've never used one outside of the local Best Buy - I believe the RX10 IV AF will be fast enough for a momentarily perched bird. It should also have enough ...

For your purposes, I think you would be better served with the Sony RX10 IV. Its larger sensor, excellent lens & fast autofocus will return good results, especially for birds in flight. While more ...

Like Trevor, I use a G9 for motorsports, coupled with the PL 50-200. I have no issues with the AF performance of this kit; especially with head-on shots approaching you it just plain nails shot ...

With the FZ1000 it's very easy to bump the OIS switch on the lens & turn it off without realizing. Many users cover it with a small piece of black friction tape to keep it in place... Steve

You'll still need to flip the lens switch to focus, but you can set the camera to allow you to "fine-tune" focus manually after an AF attempt is made. - in the menus set AF+MF to On (see Sherman's ...

The FZ1000 II gets an updated processing engine and improved UI compared to the original. Dual control dials, touch screen, etc. - basically brings it up to date alongside other recent Lumix cameras.

I would think that third party pieces might be designed for larger lenses - one size fits all - with specific control modules for each camera make. Worth checking out... Steve

Are you looking for S Series specific lights, or are you casting a wider net? IIRC, the S Series uses the same flash protocols as Panny's m43 cameras, which are also shared with Olympus m43 ...

Sea Eagles are a group of eagles around the world, and usually have at least a partially white tail. Our North American Bald Eagle is a member of this group. Steve

Assign it to one of your Fn buttons - IIRC it's called SCP in the assignment menu. I have mine set to the top button next to the lens. Something else that I find works better than the Animal Detect ...
