Mirrorless Camera Settings For Eclipse

This is my first Fuji Camera and first mirrorless. My last camera was a Nikon entry-level DSLR around 10 years old. It was time for an upgrade. This camera is compact but packs a big punch. I'm amazed by how much you can customize through the settings. Taking some time looking through the menus and exploring the settings before you take it out makes a world of difference. I also took some time to create my own custom film sims which makes shooting so much fun and creative. I practice film photography and having this digital option with somewhat traditional dials complements my film practice perfectly.

I purchased to NiSi solar filter to capture the solar eclipse with my mirrorless camera using a telephoto lens. I read the reviews and it met all the specs I was looking for to photograph the sun safely and protecting my camera. I look forward to the next eclipse in April and will be using the NiSi filter again.

My shoulder appreciates the lighter camera. This is my second Sony mirrorless camera. It was easy to learn the settings.

So far this has done an awesome job on pics!!! I got this camera as my first mirrorless and I am not disappointed. I have not tried to record with it yet so I am not sure of the jitter issues I heard can happen with focus tracking. Panasonic did release a firmware update on 11/16 to correct. The menus are easy to work with and customization is fantastic. There are 2 custom settings on the main drive dial and the second one will allow for 3 setting. That's 4 total settings to switch too. I am looking forward to working with this camera and combining it with my Nikon d7200 lense with the 4/3 to F mount adaptor. This camera is making for a nice combo with the D7200.

If you are looking for a Mirrorless Camera without spending over 2,000 this is a great option. The photos it takes are amazing and I love the custom user settings that can be programed to automatically go to any settings you choose, I use one for HDR and the other for Auto Bracketing exposure in Aperture Priority Mode.

I intend to use this for the 204 solar eclipse. In the meantime, I can get nice shots of the sun's surface through my Canon mirrorless camera. I believe you should not use this to look directly at the sun, but through the mirrorless, no issues! I like the way the filter attaches via to the magnetic ring.

I purchased for the upcoming April 2024 Eclipse and finally got a chance to experiment with it to get an idea of what settings I'll need. When I got those settings in the right range it performed as I'd hoped. I used a Nikon F mount 200-500mm paired with an FTZ on a Z6 for my experimentation. Had zero issues focusing as mentioned in other reviews. I don't understand people penalizing the product in a review because of poor technique or ordering the wrong size. Don't let those sway you from this product. It works as it should.

I bought the filter for the April 8th total eclipse. The shots were sharp and provided good protection for my camera. (I covered the lens when I wasn’t taking pictures.). The biggest benefit was that I could check my focus and exposure during the partial eclipse, then during totality, I just took the filter off and I was ready to shoot. (I learned online that the exposure settings with the filter before totality are the same settings during totality with the filter off!) The filter gives you a white light image.

Saw the eclipse and my camera still works.

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.
