CLICK HERE TO ENLARGE THE PIC........
OK... sounds rediculous I know.... but I have this "thing" about getting as much zoooooom as I can from what I have available... today, we went to Farlington Marshes, and I spotted something moving about 300 feet (100 mtrs) away... so I made sure I had my 1.4 teleconverter lens fitted (see earlier postings about this).... and also reduced the MPX count on my FZ28, to make the maximum OPTICAL ZOOM read 25.7 on the sliding scale. I then found a convenient seat, and firmly rested (as best I could) my camera on the back of it, and zoomed in on the subject..... I then went the "whole hog", and added in the 4 X digital zoom ... doing the maths, it works like this.... 25.7 Optical Zoom multiply by 1.4 teleconverter lens gives 35.98 (call it 36 X OPTICAL ZOOM)... then add on 4 X DIGITAL ZOOM....(36 X 4 ) to give a massive 144 X ZOOOOM..... OK so it is a "bit" noisy, but it is not too bad considering the size of the sensor, and the fact that the 1.4 teleconverter lens is not actually made for the FZ28.... ( It is a Sigma VIDEO CAMERA accessory lens)...
