Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread
How do I "figure"?
You did not master the guide book, and I was trying to help others out because I have actually used the camera (have you seen the videos I posted in this thread?). I am sorry...

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread
Another option for a wide angle adaptor is the 46mm 0.7 JVC GL-V0746, which costs the same as the Panasonic 0.7 one. It is relatively big and heavy.

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread

You can shoot in manual mode that also takes...

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread
Andy, I enjoyed your photographic eye in this video. But I have some questions about videography. First, it seems to me that most of the video was really a series of static or still shots, like a...

Re: The Panasonic TM900 Users Thread
Claire,
Thanks very much. My settings were indeed aimed specifically at eliminating blown highlights; auto aperture (fixed shutter) produces overexposure and zebra stripes all over the frame. I...

Three more videos
Videos from one day in London. Got to use my circular polarizer, which was needed to video the exhibits at the British museum, almost all of which are behind glass. Tricky indoor lighting as well,...
