Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC43
Before buying this camera I downloaded the specifications from Panasonic.
It shows Exposu Program AE and Shutter Speed: 8-1/2000 sec(Shutter Priority Mode, Manual Mode) 1-1/2000 sec, except for Shutter Priority Mode and Manual Mode The actual camera that I bought has no manual aperture or shutter speed control. It is completely automatic. And the manual that came with the camera confirms this. My last ten shots varied from f2.8, 1/30 to f8.0, 1/80 (ISO 50). I can alter the exposure a little by increasing the ISO to 200. These shutter speeds are far too slow, especially when trying to photograph sports or grand-children, who won't keep still! Is there a firmware upgrade that could improve this situation. Thanks. BTW: This camera was purchased in New Zealand. I had no luck trying to contact Panasonic (Japan) but got the comment from Panasonic (Australia) that cameras sold in NZ or Australia may have different specs. |
