Hey Guys I hate to be a bubble burster on this cam as i was in the market for one since I heard about it earlier this year. I posted on here a while ago asking Andrew about shooting 100fps. Since then I've had a chance to have a play with the camera and it seems that they've choked a few of the manual controls, zoom and focu,s while shooting at 100fps. I shoot a lot of telephoto shots that require manual focus pulling and thought this would be a great way of shooting slow mo on a budget so I'm pretty disappointed that these controls are locked in this mode. I would love to be proven wrong on this by someone who knows better but for now I think I'll be steering clear until Panasonic fix the problem with an FW update it another company releases a similar camera.

Hi Andrew Great review on the fz1000. I'm considering it as a second camera as a kind of run and gun option. At the moment I have a fz200 as my second camera and I find it to be really handy but it lacks some features that I'm hoping are on the fz1000. Can you tell me if it is possible to manually focus while recording in slow motion? This was one thing that drove me crazy about the fz200 along with the inability to zoom while recording. At the moment this is the only thing holding me back from making the purchase so if you could send on any info about this it would be great. Thanks again for the info on the camera. Hopefully I'll have one soon myself. John Lawlor
