I shoot more video than stills with the FZ300, plus when shooting stills, it's mostly for grab shots. As a consequence I haven't customized it much. Given that I have five brands of cameras, it ...

FOUND IT! At some point I changed the function of the rear dial to exp comp. Don't remember ever doing it, but obviously I did. Switched it back to default and everything works as it should. One of ...

That's how it's done on the FZ1000, very familiar with that, but there's no pushing on the dial on the FZ300 - turning only.

When setting the command dial to A, S or P, the rear dial remains stubbornly in exposure compensation mode. I cannot change the aperture in A, nor the shutter speed in S nor shift the program in ...

I've been with Aperture since v1.5 and I knew this day was coming so I jumped ship for Capture One 12 for Fujifilm cameras. Didn't regret it for one second. Not quite as intuitive as Aperture, but...

Solved! Resume Zoom even held the MF on the FZ300. Thanks Bruce.

THANK YOU Bruce! Not only did Resume Zoom work for holding the zoom setting, on the FZ300, it held the MF setting as well. The MF fiddling has been a major pain - imagine standing on a step stool, ...

Thanks for the replies. Thanks for the Resume Zoom hint, I'll check that out. I have a UPS, keeping them powered isn't a worry and I am concerned about improper shut down and start up. For example, ...

I have an FZ1000 and an FZ300 that I have temporarily set up in an indoor video studio. I use them for fly fishing product and fly tying videos. Both cameras have A/C battery adapters to enable ...

Ya, did that as well. Just covering the bases.

Currently I have an X100T, an X-Pro1 and an X-T10 that I use for street photography. Out of the three, only the X-T10 can handle AF-C and Face Detection reasonably well when focusing on an ...

Thanks, I thought about checking for that after I wrote my reply. It's all wired up on the tripod at the moment.

Thanks for that info. I've already looked at the battery eliminator, but unless the FZ300 door is different from the FZ1000, I can't use it when on the tripod as the door is forced shut by the tripod.

I currently have an FZ1000 and the HDMI out only directs output to an external monitor when not recording. As soon as I start recording, I lose the external monitor. I'm considering also getting ...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to comment. The intent of my blog post is to have any newcomer to street photography who reads it, think of themselves, how they like to shoot, what they're ...

Yup, mostly I use zone focus with manual primes, or auto lenses on manual with back button focus, so that I can choose the plane of focus, rather than have the camera make that choice. Once I have ...

Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed response. I find that one of my challenges when writing stuff like this is to have my intentions be well understood. As an example, I saw the ambush ...

I've received a few questions over the past while on selecting the right camera for working the street. Rather than regurgitate tech specs and marketing bumpf, I phrased my replies in terms of how ...

While waiting for the vehicle to be serviced . . .

No worries there - been taking the Roundup to it of late. :)
