        Spotted a ladybird in my garden yesterday, just sitting quietly on the clematis - strange time of year to see one, I thought? :scratch: :dunno:

        Today's delight was seeing a blue tit entering one of my birdhouses :thumbsup:

                    The FZ1000 zoom in JPG. The camera will zoom to 400mm (Optical Zoom). With I-Zoom turned on the camera will zoom to 800mm (35mm equivalent). Set to a smaller picture size, the camera will zoom more. With I-Zoom turned OFF and the camera set to the 10mp picture size, it will zoom to 560mm. If you turn Digital Zoom On, the camera will zoom to 2240mm. If the picture size is set to 5mp the camera will zoom to 800mm and with Digital Zoom On will zoom to 3200mm. What is the big deal? Normally I never use any form of Digital Zoom as it destroys the picture quality. Not on this camera! I took some shots with the camera set to the 10mp picture size and Digital Zoom On, which gave me 2240mm. On top of that I used an Olympus B300 1.7X teleconverter with total zoom at 3808mm, and the photos look good

                    2240( 800mm) = 35=equivalent,approx 60ft

                        Rubbish pics as I still can't get anything in focus at all when using the optical zoom, could be faulty.

                          These pictures really give me a lift. It is so nice to see these creatures going about their business regardless of what mother nature is throwing at them!

                              @Sheal, I started using the camera's LCD screen as I had always done with the Panasonic as I find using EVF difficult but recently I have tried the EVF as in today but still have the same problem, I even lent against a tree for stability but out of around 200 pics taken in the last month none using the zoom are sharp. Landscape and closeups are fine.
