Bridge camera bokeh10/10/2023 ![]() It refers to the aesthetic quality of the out of focus areas of an image, and it’s determined by the lens.Īlthough bokeh encompasses all out of focus areas, for many it has come to refer to the out of focus highlights as this is where it is most visible. So long zoom ranges will be your main bokeh tool, partially done through cropping (which increases the relative size of defocus disks in relation to image scale).Bokeh is a Japanese word that is pronounced in a number of ways including boke, boh- keh and boh- kay. All are rough guesses and I am not currently at home where I could actually measure things. The tree filling half the background is perhaps another 3m back. The building in the background is likely 400m away and only sort-of dissolved.į:2.8 aperture, 600mm zoom equivalent, DMC-FZ200, cropped from 4000x3000 to 3550x1996 The great tit is slightly unfocused at 0.5m less or so. The great spotted woodpecker is in-focus, I'd guess something like 7m distance. I'll add a recent photograph at the full 600mm equivalent setting and f:2.8 aperture. That's nearly half the light disk diametre that the FZ200 (with same sensor size) has with its constant f:2.8 aperture. I now read up a bit on the FZ20: at 140mm equivalent setting, its aperture is already down to f:5.3. In contrast, the FZ80 goes into small apertures pretty fast, so for bokeh you'll pretty much have to rely on long zoom values as in the middle range, what you gain with longer focal length is eaten by the diminishing aperture. With regard to "large aperture", the constant aperture FZ200 (and its ilk) is at an advantage for bokeh on zoom. So with their large crop factor, small sensor cameras are disadvantaged. ![]() Now with regard to the "long zoom", the actual focal length counts, not the "35mm equivalent". There's basically two angles to it: long zoom and large aperture. Might it be the one in San Diego ? That's great place for Wildlife in natural habitats!! I'll be going to a wildlife park tomorrow. look up about sensor sizes and the difference in DOF, to help understand more why this happens. If it's farther away, then it will be less busy, and better chance for decent Bokeh. If background is really close to subject, than background might be too busy. Subject distance to the background will also effect this. So I'm saying that the aperture on these cameras, does not allow for shallow DOF, except shooting Macro/close ups.or I'd guess after at least 400mm. nor the naturally DEEP DOF of the FZ80.and all other small sensors, with not really fast lenses. I'm sure you had much shallower DOF.and control over how much, with your D-SLR. What we are saying is that, because of the much smaller sensor in the FZ80, it does not have ability to blur background, just by aperture.į2.8 is closer to f8 or f11 as far as DOF goes, compared to APS-C D-SLR's. But what birds will you photograph at the wide end? With that said, are you both saying that you can't achieve any decent background blur with this camera unless it is at full focal length/full zoom? Sorry for lack of knowledge in this, but doesn't make sense to me. ![]() Those bird shots are exactly what I'm after not having my DSLR anymore. Thanks for clarification and additional info and pics. Here's a few telephoto shots, all handheld: It can give decent results at the telephoto end (1200mm) If you lower resolution to 9MP.you get 1699mm Keep it wide open.you wont get sharper images at f8 at the telephoto end.diffraction will set in, softening the image. Limited aperture control over DOF with this camera. This camera has a sensor around 10x smaller than a typical APS-C sensor. That said, you would have to use the telephoto end to obtain OOF background and decent Bokeh, as mentioned. I have only had it for a day and know it is not my old Canon DSLR, but wondering if anyone can help with achieving best possible bokeh photos such as birds and flowers? I've not had success but will be going to wildlife park tomorrow.Īgain, I only had it for a day but I bought this zoom camera based on reviews and after seeing some pretty nice bird and other wildlife shots found online. ![]() I just got a Panasonic FZ80 bridge camera.
