If the noise in the operation were not. And I do not mean the zoom noise, but a permanent faint Geschrabbel from the lens in any shooting mode. Each camera has a user with good hearing
I have tested the exhibitors in various markets, all do the same quiet sound. As I turn also many video clips that is disturbing in silent recording scenario.
The hotline of Panasonic heard this for the first time
In response came:
"After consultation with our technical department, we inform you,
that you mentioned "noise" in the DMC-FZ200 than normal
are called. The camera is designed as a camera with very good
Video features. When using an external microphone (DMW-MS1) which
is attached to the camera, it may also here, by the transmission of
Noise on the camera body, come to "interference". Use in
this case, the supplied extension cable.
For professional video recordings, you should in this case a
Use camcorder. "
This statement puts the advertising messages to this camera.
With an editing program and discreet background music, the problem is solved, and I will try to use an external Mikrios and report here.
As I said, the camera is phototechnically a highlight, maybe I'm too critical.
It turns me the question whether these permanent mechanical movement will affect the longevity of the optical system.
Despite a buy rating with no alternative
PS:
The included editing program has been criticized in other reviews, this is not compatible Win8.
While it is an error message after installation, but it works flawlessly. The Service has also confirmed to me this!
Is a bug in the SW
