I might add that thougha DSLR may be used in P&S mode, one major differnence is that the amount of in-camera processing between P&S and DSLR models. The defaultDSLR in-camera processingis not bolstered up as high as P&S models. On my KM 7D I boost the color and sharpness up one notch for the JPG image but I save a raw copy just in case I am not happy with how the camera processes my shot. Truthfully, in most cases, I can get away by just doctoring up the JPG in Paint Shop Pro. |

I think a Fuji F10 or F30 might help, but you may want toexperiment with changing some shooting modes or styles firstif you haven't already been there done that. Truthfully even if are able to make adjustments and see improvements, I don't think it will help 100 percent with the action shots. |

KikididiRN,
Those shots certainly show why you're not satisfied. I find it hard to judge whether it's just that they're out of focus or whether there was camera shake or whether subjects moved - or it could have been all three. I doubt very much that the camera's size & weight are to blame, because extra weight tends to reduce camera shake. When I suggested using the camera with the mode dial set to "P" I had outdoor shots in mind. For indoor action shots like those you showed us, I suggest that as a start you set the Mode dial to "A" & then try a few shots with the largest aperture available. I think that's F2.8. Also - for the indoor shots - was the flash working? I'm not sure about the Lumix FZ20, but on my wife's old Fuji 1700MX (tarted up & sold as a Leica Digiluz zoom) there's a flash setting that operates the flash whenever the camera thinks it's needed. She usually leaves it at that setting. Herb |

After looking at the earlier photo samples, I am beginning to suspect that the problem is not the exposure, but the shutter speed used to take the photos. The last photo sample has a bit of over exposure, but is otherwise OK. The reason that it is OK is because it was taken outside with plenty of light, whereas the indoor wrestling shots were taken indoors where the lighting level was a good deal lower.
To move toward an effective solution, may I ask a few questions. (1) What was the ISO setting used for the two wrestling photos? (2) Are you using the two step shutter release technique? The two step shutter release is first pushing the shuter release half way down to allow the camera to BOTH focus the photo and to set the exposure, then fully depressing the shutter release to take the photo. (3) Was any flash used in the two wrestling photos? (4) If flash was used, how far away from the subject were you? (5) Do you think that there might have been some camera movement during the photo exposure? Thanks for helping to solve this situation. MT |

First of will you be able to use flash? If the answer is yes, how far away will you be? If you are not using flash, you will certainly have to increase your ISO speed to probably 400. Be sure the Panasonic is in the Program mode and keep track of your shutter speed. If the shutter speed becomes 1/50th of a second or less, you are in for blurry photos.
