Using izoom fz3005/7/2023 The detection level can be set to 'High' or ‘Low’ and a colour can be selected In ‘High’ these are light blue, yellow or green and in 'Low' blue, orange or white can be selected. When enabled, it graphically shows the peak of focus in the MF and AF+MF modes by displaying an outline around the subject. When MF is selected the focus range can be manually set between 1cm and infinity with the central portion of the frame enlarged so sharpness can be more accurately determined.įocus Peaking is also available on the DMC-FZ330. When the MF focus mode is selected, this allows you to quickly focus manually using your left forefinger, a bit like using a conventional manual focus ring on a lens. There is also a new rocker switch above the AF Macro/Focus. If AFS/AFF or AFC is selected via the new switch on the rear of the camera, this button allows you to toggle between the three Macro modes (AF Macro, Macro Zoom and Macro Off). On the side of the lens barrel is a button marked AF Macro/Focus. ![]() Panasonic have also applied a Nano Surface Coating coating to the lens, which should further help to avoid any unwanted ghosting or flare effects. To help avoid lens flare, a petal-shaped detachable lens hood is supplied in the box, and there's also a clip-on lens cap that you can attach via a thread to one of the available catches for a shoulder strap. Note that the lens extends by 6cms when it's fully zoomed and the DMC-FZ330 measures almost 15cms in depth, making it quite conspicuous. A stubby barrel encases and protects the optic when not in use. This compensates for the extra blur that can occur when you're walking and shooting video at the same time. When shooting video, Active Mode is automatically added to the O.I.S. ![]() Panasonic's latest 5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S + system is on-board to help combat any unwanted camera shake, although you'll still need to use either a fast shutter speed or a tripod at the telephoto end of that massive zoom. Whether Panasonic can convince people that a faster lens makes more difference to their photography than a longer lens remains to be seen though. This is a big advantage for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330 as it allows you to get sharper results and capture more "keepers" at the extreme ends of the zoom range - in our view, we'd rather have a shorter, faster lens than a longer, slower one. The maximum aperture of F/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range is still very rare for this class of camera. While this isn't as big as some of the FZ330's key competitors, in real-world use it provides enough width and reach to satisfy most photographer's needs. ![]() The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330 is dominated by the non-interchangeable 24x zoom lens that provides a very versatile focal range of 25-600mm. once again, the FZ330 looks to all intents and purposes just like a proper DSLR camera, albeit one with a large fixed lens and an electronic viewfinder. ![]() The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330 is very similar in terms of its external design to its predecessor, the FZ200, so a lot of the comments that we made in that review apply equally to this latest model. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330 is available in black and retails for £499.99 / $599.99. Other key features include Light Speed auto-focus with new Depth from Defocus (DFD) technology, a port for an optional stereo microphone and an accessory shoe for an external flash, the latest 5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S + system, full range of manual shooting modes, RAW format support, 1cm macro mode, built-in wi-fi connectivity, and an ISO range of 100-6400. Successor to the FZ200 model, the bridge-style Panasonic FZ330 compact offers 4K video recording at 25/24fps including the ability to extract high-resolution 8-megapixel images, brand new Venus Engine, 3-inch 1040K-pixel rotating LCD touch-screen, 1.44-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.7x magnification, 12.1 megapixel high-sensitivity MOS image sensor and 12fps continuous shooting without autofocus and 6fps with autofocus. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330 (also known as the FZ300 in the USA) is a weather-proof super-zoom camera featuring a wide-angle 24x Leica zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout its 25-600mm range.
