Changing the focus (pinpoint/single/multi/center/custom) do not have any influence on this behaviour. Soem might remember the great Evolt 410 where one could disable the AA filter and got amazing sharpnes and some grain without sacrifing real detail.Īnyway, back to the Lumix, the camera gives a very fast focus lock, but I soon found that even if a focus lock is shown it might not actually be in focus. Here I have to mention that I do like a filmlike grainy look as long as it is not "instead" of detail. Images were seemingly sharp, with a grainy look to them. Now after taking quite a couple of shots of airliners I got the impression that something might be not perfect as I did notice a phenomena I'd call simply as "lack of detail". The WiFi functionality is terrific, even if it can't be used for contrail spotting. The EVF is also quite useable, even if some might dislike the field effect of the EVF, somewhat comparable to the rainbow effect of DLP projectors. As manual focus with these was a pain I gave the FZ80 / FZ82 a try after I have been disappointed with the Nikon P900 and the image processing.įirst a few words about the FZ80 / FZ82, the menues and handling I do like very much over the Nikons, also the size and functionality seems prettey good considering the price segment of this camera. Until now I mainly used a Pentax Q (crop factor 5,5x) and a Samsung NX Mini (crop factor 2,7x) due to their crop factor and small pixel size, that gave me quite a nice range when used with tele lenses like a Sigma 400 F5,6 apo or a telescope. Its fascinating to see how Aurelien is using his own software and it helps understanding how Darktable (or his modules) are designed.As a few might know I am a contrail spotter, so the main reason for me to go with a Lumix camera was the zoom lens, or to be more accurate the range of the lens at the tele end. You can see him use it to recover some nearly hopeless RAW files that get thrown at him in real time by the participants in his live stream (and you can download it to use it yourself): In this video he shared a style designed for a rapid editing workflow that really works well for me. Once you have grasped the basics by watching the tutorials from Bruce Williams, you can explore deeper by watching Aurelien Pierre for example. It is well worth the time spent getting to know it better IMO. Unlike LR where changing one slider will often lead to imbalance in other area's. This sounds great, but if you want to start from what is really captured by the camera (like Rawtherapee and Darktable do) it can be a disadvantage.įrom Bruce Williams I learned that every module and slider is designed with affecting only one parameter at a time in mind. filmic RGB) that have no counterpart in any PP software I know.īe aware that LR is applying some basic sharpening and other stuff to any RAW file before showing it to you. There are a lot of modules that work in original ways (e.g. At first glance it is a LR 'clone' but it really isn't at all. A little overwelmed and confused about it. Just the same experience here with Darktable. I think we may have a winner! Time to learn more about this intriguing piece of software.

One of the best technical developers for Darktable can be found could ask him directly, or just learn from his tutorials.įor beginners the video's from Bruce can be very Rawtherapee I found this very dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… They are free and there are lots of tutorials on Youtube. each module (like exposure adjusting, color calibration.) has the same very powerful masking possibilities built in. Also Darktables power for editing is overwhelming, e.g. making a custom watermark that embeds the creation date of each photo in the picture (automatically) at export. Darktable has a steeper learning curve but it can do things that LR can not do e.g. Rawtherapee is great for quick edits and is the most intuitive to learn. Both have features that Lightroom has not so in some ways they are even better than LR. If you did not try Darktable or Rawtherapee yet, you should have a look.īoth have lens corrections built in and run on Windows/Mac/Linux.
