There are three options to choose from: 4K burst captures 8MP still images at 30fps for as long as the shutter button is held down, with just under 30mins total recording time available; 4K burst S/S (start/stop) mode also shoots at 30fps, but enables you to take your finger off the shutter button while images are being recorded, with a second press terminating the capture process; and 4K pre-burst mode makes use of the camera’s internal memory buffer to capture 30 frames from before the shutter button is pressed and a further 30 afterwards for a total of 60 frames. When the 330 was released in 2015, the inclusion of 4k video was a relatively big thing (arguably it still is.) Other manufacturers at the time where playing catch-up, just as they have been doing in relation to many Panasonic products over many years. Ultimately, Panasonic embraced 4K video recording more eagerly and enthusiastically than any other competitor. Panasonic Image App– The FZ330 comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity that enables it to be paired with a smartphone or tablet via Panasonic’s Image App (free in Google Play and the Apple App Store). The app can also be used to control the camera remotely. Moving to the rear of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ330, the left-hand side is dominated by the 3.0-inch, 1040K-dot free-angle LCD screen. The rotating, free-angle LCD monitor, which is hinged on the left side of the camera (looking from the rear), can be flipped out and twisted through 270 degrees. You can use the screen as a waist-level viewfinder, holding the camera overhead, and even for turning the FZ330 on yourself for arm-length self-portraits. There's also the added benefit of folding the screen away against the camera body to protect it when stored in a camera bag, preventing it from becoming marked or scratched. The high-res, free-angle LCD screen is much more than just a novelty - it's a lot more versatile than the usual combination of optical viewfinder and fixed LCD, providing new angles of view and enhancing your overall creativity. Above all, it's a fun way of composing your images. The screen is bright and clear as a means of composition whether shooting inside or out, and if visibility does suffer in sunlight there's the option to switch to the electronic viewfinder via the LVF button on the camera's rear. I do not shoot RAW and I rarely post process any image that I do not print. These are OOC Jpegs resized, just like all those examples in my first review.

The pricing on excellent condition Nikon 1 cameras are attractive and add in their fast focus and helped by high numbers of focus points, it's a great lens for birding and general photo use.

And here are a couple of portrait shots. As you can see, neither the Forced On setting or the Auto/Red-eye Reduction option caused any amount of red-eye. While image sharpness impresses considering the wide focal range provided, the FZ330’s 12.1-million-pixel sensor can struggle with fine detail and produces the ‘smudged’ effect that is an all-too-common trait of small-sensor compacts. The FZ1000, with its larger 1in sensor, provides far better image quality and is currently only a little more expensive.

I don't think that's too old, but if you're seeing a noticeable drop in speed then that could be a warning sign and it may be time for something new. Have you tried different cards to see if the speed's any different? In good to reasonably fair light levels, FZ330 photographs can look exceptionally good between base ISO 100 and ISO 800. Beyond ISO 1600, however, the camera really begins to struggle, but I maintain that for the most part, virtually all that one could ever require of the FZ330 is attainable between these boundaries. As such, the even higher ISO settings found within the model are virtually redundant and of no interest to me, beyond perhaps enabling a noisy record shot of something I’d rarely see in dim light, for example. Ultimately, if you require consistency and photo clarity outside of the 330’s ISO capabilities, then you’ll need a camera with a larger sensor; re-enter that DSLR you may have been thinking of selling. The 330’s 3in articulated touch screen has a higher resolution than the LCD found on the FZ150 and 200 before it. The electronic viewfinder (EVF), which uses superb OLED technology, is also significantly bigger and of higher resolution than the 200, offering a more precise viewing and overall richer experience when framing subjects. The EVF of the 200 was better than the 150, but the 330’s version is a larger improvement still – and by a noticeable and very welcome margin. It really is great to have this kind of quality EVF on board!
