So, f/2.8 with your DC-FZ82 is 5.6 times smaller in size and 5.6*5.6 = 31.36 times smaller in area than a professional f/2.8 24-70mm zoom for full frame cameras. If you note the f in there, it is the focal length which is proportional to sensor size. The f/2.8 does not mean anything good given this small sensor size. So, your DC-FZ82 collects 5.6 * 5.6 = 31.36 times less light than good cameras. The amount of light collected is proportional to crop factor squared. To put this into context, even entry-level DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have a crop factor of 1.5 - 1.6, and professionals use cameras with crop factor 1 (or even smaller than 1!). You're the victim of typical indoor light and small sensor. Inside, you might want work more with flash, but a second camera with larger sensor and much less zoom range tends to be a quite preferable option. A nice compact compromise for birders, for example. This is a long-reach camera for good weather outside. If the situation is not bright, the F5.9 at the long end reduces light to less than a quarter of the F2.8 the camera has at the wide end. Correcting underexposure digitally creates more noise than appropriate ISO. Don't underexpose: if you cannot get more light/longer exposure, you need to raise ISO rather than underexpose. Shoot with as much light as you can get into the camera reasonably (it does have good image stabilisation) and only go as high with ISO as necessary to get good exposure. While you can tamper that with noise reduction, noise reduction also smudges details. Higher sharpness levels lead to halos around edges and also amplify noise. Play with your settings for NR (noise reduction) and sharpness. You have enough optical zoom to work with, and enough pixels for edges. Images via Imgur are stripped of EXIF data but I suspect that you have i.Resolution active because of the "mealy" noise appearance. i.Resolution and i.Zoom and digital zoom all need to be "Off". For an FZ82 this means: turn off edge enhancements/interpolation that amplify noise levels: you have a basic unavoidable noise level because of sensor size and resolution and don't want to make that fundamental problem have more of an impact than it has to have. Then the next: avoid acerbating the problem. So the most important advice: don't look at the pixel level. ![]() Working with a higher resolution sensor causes less loss of actual optical image data.įor another, cropping and closeup: if you close up, the details may not look great but you get some. ![]() The resulting interpolation leads to a loss of definition and sharpness, particularly seen in the corners at wide angles. What is the high resolution good for? For one thing, more fine-grained digital geometric distortion processing: modern compact cameras with large zoom ranges cheat considerably in the optical department, leaving it to the camera to fix up geometric distortions digitally. Is the FZ300 noise free at base ISO level? No. Now if you distribute ISO100 brightness over 18MP instead of 12MP, for the same number of photons per pixel (and thus the same photon noise level) you'd need to set the camera to ISO64. To put this into perspective, the 1/2.3" sensor flagship DMC-FZ300 has the same sensor size but 12MP resolution, starting at ISO100 and with F2.8 at the long range (which half the reach at 600mm rather than the FZ82's 1200mm). The Panasonic Lumix cameras have achieved many accomplishments throughout its timeline, and the various models in the Lumix series have often proved to be the world’s first cameras to use innovative and new technologies.The DMC-FZ82 is a camera with 1/2.3" sensor and 18MP resolution, starting at ISO80 and with F5.9 at the long range (F2.8 at wide). These cameras range from the simple point-and-shoot cameras to digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. The Panasonic Lumix series is the official brand of Panasonic digital cameras. Panasonic first dived into the camera industry in 2001, but the camera sales didn’t pick up until 2008 when Panasonic started to focus on digital cameras with the Lumix series. Panasonic is an electronics company that has been around since 1918, and started off as a company selling attachment plugs and two-way sockets.
