Very nice exposure, have you got any details, looks like a wide aperture, the focus is a little soft.

Hi Granpa :) Congratulations on buying this excellent camera. I was in two minds whether to buy a new Bridge camera or a DSLR I chose to buy the latter, but the Panasonic FZ 200 was the one I would have bought. You will find the articulated LCD screen a real plus point and the constant f2.8 also. You have 25 - 600mm zoom, all in all a great little tool for capturing excellent photos in all situations..I hope to see more of your photos, to show me what I'm missing. :thumbup:

Thanks for your information, could you tell me did you use Manual or auto focus with your images.
I use a bridge camera Fuji Finepix S100fs and find manual is best for sharper images.

This camera has a setting for AF Close-up so that is what I used. Still experimenting with different settings.

We are all evolving with our camera's, keep taking images and enjoying.
Can I recommend trying manual focus (MF) and giving it a go; use your + zoom button to get critical focus, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
