No worries there Nick, i hope you get things sorted with either a repair, or a replacement. Good luck with this, lets hope they sort it out fast for you.NickMorgan wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 6:03 pm Thank you so much for the details of all the settings you have found to be best.
I ended up sending the camera to Panasonic's recognised repairers after I phoned them last Tuesday. They had me check various settings and then said they had run out of solutions, so I was to send it in. Hopefully I will hear back from them soon and have a repaired or replacement camera.
I have to admit that I get really confused with the various modes and particularly with this model hot having a macro mode. Your suggestions are very much appreciated and will allow me to give the camera a thorough test when it comes back. I just hope I get it back while there are still butterflies around to experiment with!!
Actually, today it has been pretty windy and drizzly most of the day, but despite that there were still 31 Red Admirals feeding on my orange buddleia and yew berries!
The FZ330/300 is a really good camera for butterflies, its worth putting in the effort, i just think once you get the hang of all the relative settings, you should be good to go.
Cheers Paul.
