FZ1000 Firmware suggestions





Having made several thousand photos with the FZ1000 I now have some ideas about improvements to the functionality of the FZ1000 which I think could be incorporated into a firmware update.  I would like to see:

1. Allow users to stop the lens retracting after the Playback button is pressed.

2. Allow users to retask the Video Button as a Fn button.

3. Adjust JPG algorithms to better protect highlights in conditions of high subject brightness range.

4. Allow users to create a My Menu with most frequently accessed items.

5. Allow the use of Timer and AEB together.

6. Rectify strange frame rate behaviour in Burst M.  At present the camera fires about 6 shots at 7 fps then fires in bursts of two or three shots with a delay between each burst.


7. Allow setting a minimum shutter speed in Auto ISO. Enable this to change (get faster) as the lens is zoomed out.
