Hello b.
I have noticed exactly the same thing with my FZ2000. But for me it is also with the setting P. I have not yet found out what the reason is. Spontaneously I would think that the automatic exposure is often overloaded with high contrast (sun / shadow).
When I have found a solution I will write it here again.
This article is offered by various retailers. You refer to the buchmann CH Marketplace offer.
Ours is more aggressively priced, but unfortunately the goods are unavailable at the time of writing: Panasonic Lumix FZ2000 (24 - 480 mm, 20.90 Mpx, 1")
The diameter is 67mm, but unfortunately we cannot confirm whether third-party lens caps will fit. Unfortunately, we cannot obtain the original lens cap and it would have to be ordered from Panasonic itself: http://shop.panasonic.de/SYQ0862.html
The camera is one of the best I have ever had in my hands. Thanks to the image stabiliser and the super-fast autofocus, it is certainly also ideal for spotting.
Yes, I think a 0 got lost there.... It should be 101.9mm wide. See manufacturer's page -> https://www.panasonic.com/de/consumer/foto-video/lumix-kompaktkameras/dmc-fz2000.specs.html
Hello GoldiGirl
We are enthusiastic LUMIX FZ fans and have had several cameras from this series, including the FZ2000. We didn't have the same problem as you with our very first FZ2000, but ours overheated after 20-30 minutes of intensive use and a red warning message appeared in the viewfinder and the camera stopped working until it had cooled down again. This problem was repeated again and again and we must have sent the camera in twice for repair before we were finally granted a warranty replacement. The new FZ2000 then worked perfectly, even under "maximum load"!
I would advise you to permanently test your camera at home with "unimportant" photos and see if your problem repeats itself. If so, I would send the camera in for a warranty repair and then repeat the whole game to see if it repeats or not.
I obviously got one from the FZ2000 series with my first camera from a "Monday series", maybe you did too! All you can do is test and test and if the problem keeps coming back, fight for a warranty replacement. It's totally worth it, because the LUMIX FZ2000 is an excellent camera when it works properly!
Good luck!
I also own the Fz1000. Personally, I find the price difference a bit too big, but there are some clear advantages of the new version:
+ The lens no longer moves when zooming, as the lenses only move within the lens (-> the zoom no longer jerks like on the FZ1000 but is "smooth" and the focus stays on the subject and does not shift).
+ slightly longer zoom
+ 2 adjustable rings on the lens compared to one on the FZ1000
+ touch screen with better resolution
+ built-in grey filters (suitable for maintaining desired shutter speeds even in high light)
+ Material quality of the housing much better (unfortunately still not splash-proof) and 2 dials
+ Headphone jack
+ LOG profiles when filming
+ 10bit 4:2:2 output
+ no time limit when filming
So, I hope I could help you a bit with this list and that I didn't forget anything.
