Panasonic Camera I have a panasonic fz18 camera, I just bought a 2x telescopic lens. The pictures are turning out blurred why?
I bought a Camera Lens for my panasonic fz18 camera, when I use it the pictures are blurry. I don't know how to get clear pictures. and when ever I use the filters on the camera, I get the message to open the lens cap. It won't take a picture with them on at all. Am I doing something wrong?
The first question, was it designed for use with your FZ18 camera.
Best thing to do is call the Panasonic help line and ask for help.
One thing you may have missed is that the longer the lens, the higher shutter speed you need to reduce the chance of camera movement which causes blur
