  1. Fine guy

    Nice equipment. FZ1000 with the Metz 52 AF-1 Digital lamp works OK – I am writing here about wireless connectivity. Only the external autofocus support lamp does not work, but it is a classic failure of lamps dedicated with Lumixes. These lamps ONLY work on original Panasonic flash units.
    After some time, the housing under the right thumb, between the knob and the AFS / AFC / MF switch began to work very, very gently. This is practically imperceptible, but as you already know, sometimes the big toe flies there alone.
    I am satisfied with the pictures, I cannot see any more changes since my first opinion. If I see anything else, I’ll write. Regards.

    Hello again after two years.
    This is my third opinion on this camera. I write it primarily answering Roland’s questions. Let my assessment be confirmed by the fact that after such a time of use, the equipment was a gift! Of course I respected him well, but the FZ1000 still looked practically new. The dials have not worked, nothing has worn out. I gave it to someone from my family for the last Christmas and since then I’ve been lurking for something newer than Panasonic, tiring with the miserable optics of the smartphone.
    I waited a few months, but I did not wait, and taking advantage of recently slightly lower prices and the just started Cashback promotion from Panasonic, I bought a new copy. Yes, I bought the DMC-FZ1000 again! While setting it “under” it turned out that it has the latest firmware version 2.2 uploaded, and I have overlooked that it is. My knowledge stayed on version 2.0 – but a shame.
    The quality of the new workmanship is impeccable, and maybe even better than its predecessor, because there is no slack under the right thumb. The equipment has not changed. The lid string is still missing. It seems to me that the new model works much quieter than the previous one. There is no such quiet “rattling”, which was sometimes heard on movies recorded with an earlier camera. When it comes to ergonomics, I have nothing to complain about. The buttons and knobs are located in the right places, and the fingers find them easily and intuitively, especially when using the option of programming several buttons for preferred functions. Quick parameter switching, especially after proper camera configuration, is not a problem.
    All this time I haven’t experienced problems with the old model. There were no other slack, no problems with sharpness – always quickly and practically error-free. Sometimes AF got lost when it was too dark, but that’s the norm. I don’t say anything about Panasonic, because I didn’t have to use it and I hope I won’t have to – here I knock in unpainted wood.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the best way to set up and use the built-in WiFi connectivity on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera for sharing photos and videos?

Here are the steps to set up and use the built-in WiFi connectivity on your Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera:
1. Turn on your camera and make sure it is fully charged or has enough battery power for the operation.
2. Press the "Menu" button on the back of the camera to access the main menu.
3. Use the navigation pad or thumbwheel to navigate to the "Wi-Fi Settings" option (it's usually under the "Setup" tab).
4. Select "Wi-Fi Enable" and turn it on. Your camera will start searching for Wi-Fi networks in range.
5. Once your camera has found a network, select it from the list of available networks. Enter the password for the selected network if necessary.
6. After connecting to the Wi-Fi network, you can access the camera's web interface by typing "http://lumixconnect.local" or "http://192.168.1.100" into a web browser on your smartphone or computer.
7. On the web interface, you will be prompted to download the Panasonic Image App if you haven't already installed it. Install the app and connect your device to the camera via Wi-Fi.
8. Once connected, you can transfer photos and videos from your camera to your smartphone or computer, as well as remotely control the camera's settings through the app.

What are the steps to connect my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera to my computer for image transfer and how can I ensure that it is done safely?

To connect your Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera to your computer, follow these steps:
1. Connect one end of the supplied USB cable to the camera's USB port (located on the side or bottom of the camera), and connect the other end to an available USB port on your computer.
2. Once connected, you should see a prompt on your screen asking if you want to transfer files automatically. Click "Yes" or "OK" to proceed with the automatic transfer. If you don't see the prompt, go to step 3.
3. Open Windows Explorer (or Finder on Mac) and locate your camera under the list of devices in the sidebar. Double-click on it to open its contents.
4. You should now be able to see all the files stored on your camera's memory card, including photos and videos. Select the ones you want to transfer and drag them into a folder on your computer. Alternatively, you can also use photo management software like Adobe Lightroom or Panasonic's own Image App for easy organization and editing of your images before transferring.
To ensure that the connection and file transfer is done safely, make sure that you are using a secure and reliable USB cable to connect your camera to your computer. Also, avoid connecting your camera to public computers or unsecured networks during the process, as it may put your personal files at risk.

How do I connect my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 to Wi-Fi for remote shooting and image transfer?

Turn on your camera and make sure it's in Wi-Fi mode by selecting the "Wi-Fi" option in the camera settings menu. On your smartphone or tablet, connect to the camera's network by scanning for available Wi-Fi networks and selecting the one with the camera's name (it will be displayed as "FZ1000"). If you're having trouble finding the camera's network, check that it's in range and that the camera is transmitting a signal. Once your device is connected to the camera's Wi-Fi network, open the Panasonic Image App on your smartphone or tablet. The app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices). Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your device to the camera. This may involve entering a password, which is "0000" by default. If you've changed this password, use that instead. After connecting, the app will display a live view from the camera, allowing you to remotely control its settings and capture photos or videos. You can also view and transfer images stored on the camera to your device using the app. To disconnect your device from the camera's Wi-Fi network, go back to the camera settings menu and select "Wi-Fi". From there, you can choose to turn off Wi-Fi altogether or just disconnect your specific device. This will prevent other devices from accidentally connecting to the camera's network in the future. If you're having trouble with Wi-Fi connectivity, make sure both your camera and smartphone/tablet are updated to the latest firmware versions. You can check for updates by going to the camera settings menu and selecting "Software Update". For more troubleshooting tips, consult the Panasonic support website or contact their customer service department.
