on the V-Lux2 (leica) wich is a FZ100 you can freeze the wandering AF by prssing the Thumpwheel in Manual Focus mode an ten you can adjust the Focus. Depending on the Programmode the EVF or the LCD Zooms in to help adjusting the Focus.
In Macro mode the Thumpwheel ist to "fast" but then you can juse the 4 way Dial for slow Focus.
Yet on good light the Focus is 100% accurate and you can hold the focus with the AEL.
On Dark Lightning focus with wideangle an noraml tele isn´t a issue but on long Tele.
Yet i wish Pansonic could go the way as with teh Previous 2 Ring Design from the FZ50 or with a switchable Ring like Sony used it since the F717. On the other Hand the EVF is to grainy for focusing panasonic should use the EVIL System from the G MFT on the Top Models...
But the fact is the observation wehen Poeple work with the FZ100 they rarly use the EFV most use the TFT as Finder even if they shot Sports or long Tele. I´m just an old guy grown up to use SLR´s since the 70´s (Bad habits never grow out)
DMC-FZ100 Snapsort shows the advertised megapixels as 14.
