Thumbnails - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3

Panasonic's Lumix-series digicams have evolved over the years into one of the more popular choices among shoppers seeking well-designed point-and-shoot cameras that deliver robust image files. One of the newest models to join Panasonic's digicam line-up is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3.

 Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FP3 is clad in a slim (0.65"/16.4mm) brushed aluminum body and features a 14.1MP CCD sensor that captures pictures through a 4x (35-140mm equivalent) Lumix DC Vario zoom lens. The camera's zoom lens features 4 aspherical elements, 7 aspheric surfaces, 1 ED element, and macro focusing down to 3.94" (10 cm). 
Along with a choice of 5 JPEG compressions (14M-0.3M) the DMC-FP3 can also capture 1280x720 HD video @ 30 frames-per-second. And to smooth out the bumps when shooting either format, the DMC-FP3 features Panasonic's MEGA O.I.S image stabilization technology, which can be set to a choice of 3 shooting modes.
One of the neater features on the DMC-FP3 is its 3" (230,000-dot) hybrid touchscreen LCD, which allows you to set many of the cameras control settings with the tap of a finger. Equally cool is the camera's touch-focus feature, which allows you to focus on your subject by simply tapping the screen on the spot you want to be in focus. (And yes, this feature works quite well). Speedy response times are another strong point of the DMC-FP3 including a maximum AF speed of about 0.33-second, which results in less chances of 'missing the moment'.
In addition to the traditional on/off switch located on the camera's top deck the Lumix DMC-FP3 also features a sliding panel that serves as both an on/off switch. This sliding panel also serves to protect the camera lens far better than the delicate metal curtain-style blades found on most pocket cameras.
Other features found on the DMC-FP3 include 40MB of built-in memory, up to 300 images-per-battery charge, and ISO ratings up to 6400. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 is available in blackredblue, and silver and records imagery onto a choice of SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards. .

 "WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF YOUR HEADSHOT? (Hint: It's not the eyes)

This 2 hour workshop will help you understand how to get the most out of your headshot.

You will be individually photographed by Jim Manley
 
All participants will be involved with a one shot image
that they take home!
 
A One-Shot Session is a "Group Headshot" session to learn and practice the most important techniques to get the most out of your headshot.  A 'group critique' will follow.

It's not about being "good looking"
It's about "looking good."

Learn the techniques of looking good
What every actor needs to know about being photographed but stress didn't let you ask!


By attending ONE-SHOT-SESSION you will:

* Discover how to get a Professional Headshot at a truly affordable price. 

* Learn how the energy of the group and the safety of environ relieves tension for both the photos and the cost.

* Find out why you should have your Headshot done on a regular basis (3-4 or more times each year).
however, keep in mind, from a very good source,
according to 
Lisa Gold of “Act Outside The Box” (a 'Must-Do' of Workshops, One-on-One Coaching and Networking), you need ONE, great headshot that you distribute over and over again

*Tom Grail, Acting Coach and Director, advises his workshop members:
"You should desire a headshot that projects and portrays your "Casting Quality" as an actor.  To do this you must know, and ask, how others (CDs, Agents, etc.) percieve you.  Regarding Commercial Shots, in most cases, do you see yourself as a person with the problem or a person with the solution."

* Even if you participated in a Group Headshot Workshop, you should attend the One-Shot-Session to PRACTICE or explore additional avenues for your headshot. 

* Create your primary marketing tool (headshot) to reflect your multiple qualities and looks.

* Learn how to not only get control of your Headshot, but develop a "Comp Card" to audition for more roles.
In summary, Discover how get your BEST Professional Headshot for a truly affordable price on a regular basis with none of the stress.
