Cool shot!

If you plugged in "10", the camera must choose between 1/250s @f/4, 1s @f/11, or any other combination within its aperture/shutter speed/ISO ranges - where to start? It's much easier to understand ...

Very nice, Stuart. You never know what you'll find in the ceilings of old churches!

I actually caught myself using the AF assist lamp at a dark, intimate venue one time - I know I annoyed one performer until I realized it. Silent mode should be named "stealth" because it also ...

Come for the questions, stay for the answers!

Was it on time? If so, maybe check the schedule next time! ;-)

Crack job as usual, Mark! I always click into your macro threads to see what creatures you've happened upon. It's like going on an adventure every time!

Well, you could use the quiet mechanical shutter rather than the loud one - just kidding! Actually, as noted in another post, if you shut off all the other sounds it shouldn't be that bad. I would ...

I'm leaning towards #3 myself. I like #4, but all the stairs lead nowhere out-of-frame to me.

You'd be paying $200 more for: (1) 4K video (2) 4K photo modes, including post-focus and focus stacking (3) Better ergonomics

How about setting up a Facebook group for your family? You can invite other FB users to the group and you can make photo albums that can be viewed outside of Facebook for those who prefer not to ...

This is likely due to using silent mode (or electronic rolling shutter) with shutter speeds that do not sync with the lighting's refresh rate - which is typically 50 or 60 Hz depending on local. ...

Both models have a built-in intervalometer. However, the FZ300 requires shooting a Long Frame Noise Reduction image following any shutter duration of 1 second or longer while the FZ1000 allows ...

Theoretically, shooting the FZ1000 in 10MP Ezoom mode (or simply cropping the full-res image) will come very close to what the FZ300 can do - coming up slightly shorter (565mm EFL vs. 600mm EFL), ...

Hovering? It sure didn't seem like it as they really never stopped moving for more than a split second! These were taken after watching their routine, as they'd essentially fly the same loop and I ...

It may not be possible to eliminate noise when you capture the images, so you may have to resort to cleaning them in in post processing, when necessary. I use the PC program NeatImage, which does ...

These are not easy to get and I'm not sure I'm happy with them, but I gave it a shot! Anybody have a feel for whether or not DFD AF improves the focus hit rate?

Nice captures! I'd think the camera just remembering the size and location of the focus box is a benefit over the FZ200 - let alone DFD AF!

Do you have the camera in burst mode? Burst mode will suppress the flash.

This reminded me of the old movie Night of the Lepus ! Here's one I caught in the yard a while back:
