  • with noise being the FZ7's weak spot
  • You'll get full manual controls, plus many automatic modes for the beginner. The newest manual control is for focus, and it works well (though a manual focus ring would've been nice). You'll also find controls for white balance (including fine tuning), shutter speed, and aperture.
  • Sound is recorded as well.
  • As is usually the case, you cannot use the zoom lens during filming. The image stabilizer functions in movie mode, as you'd expect.
  • The FZ7 turned in one of the best night shots that I've seen in some time. Like with the macro shot, everything's nice and sharp here. The camera took in plenty of light, thanks to the manual shutter speed control. Purple fringing levels were low, and noise was well controlled.
  • proprietary batteries used by the DMC-FZ7 apply here
