This page does not have the role to list all the possible accessories for Panasonic FZ-30.
Nevertheless the most usual accessories are presented here for information purposes.
It is not always easy to find an accessory for its camera, it is necessary to know which are the compatible accessories and where to find them.
To find these accessories it is sometimes necessary to seek on foreign sites, while looking on sites of auction sale.

A filter UV or neutral is essential in order to protect the objective from the camera. The plane surface of a filter is easier to wipe than the convex surface of the objective. Moreover it is preferable to have stripes on a filter that on the objective of the camera. The filter will thus protect the objective from dust, pollen (into macro) or even from the water drops at the time of a downpour.
A filter UV in order to protect the objective |
One can regret with certain filters the narrowness of the ring which does not make it possible the stopper to correctly close. |
Many filters exist, filter UV as we could see it like protection, there exists also the polarizing filter to quote only the most usual filters. But there are creative filters and the Cokin system is one of the most interesting systems of share the possibilities offered but also because one can find some easily on occasion.
The system of Cokin filters is simple and clever |

Il est possible de mettre un flash externe sur le FZ30 grace à sa griffe porte flash.
L'ajout d'un flash externe étant un accroissement du potentiel photographique non négligeable mais trop souvent ignoré.
Il ne faut pas oublier que la photographie est en relation avec la lumière, un flash externe ce sont des possibilités accrues de création (il ne s'agit plus de capter la lumière ambiante mais de créer une lumière, une ambiance, d'éclairer des zones, des détails qui sinon, resteraient dans l'ombre).
La griffe porte flash du FZ30 est standard avec un contact central on peut ainsi utiliser d'ancien Flash à conditions de certaines précautions.
Il est nécessaire que ces flashs respectent la norme Iso 10330 c'est à dire ayant une tension inférieure à 24V.
Ainsi il est possible d'utiliser beaucoup de flashs, très puissants (cf des occasions de modèles haut de gamme à des prix dérissoires), comme par exemple un Nikon SB-25, ou SB-26 ou SB-28.
On pourra utiliser ces flashs en mode A (Auto), Manuel, Stroboscopique, par contre il ne sera pas possible d'utiliser les modes TTL (seule la masse et le contact central du pied du flash sont utilisés).

Les bonnettes macro permettent d'utiliser le zoom en se trouvant à une distance donnée du sujet à photographier.
Quelque soit la focale du zoom avec une bonnette de 4 dioptries on se trouve au maximum à 25cm du sujet à photographier alors qu'avec une bonnette de 2 dioptries on se trouvera à 50cm.
Plus on est près du sujet à photographier plus le pouvoir grossissant est important. Néanmoins pour des insectes craintifs il est préférable de ne pas être trop proches d'eux.
Ainsi le choix de la bonnette se fera en fonction de ce qu'on veut photographier, sans oublier que plus le pouvoir grossissant est important (nombre de dioptries) plus cela devient difficile à photographier ( profondeur de champ faible etc...).
Panasonic propose une bonnette macro (DMW-LC55) de 55mm diamètre pour le Fz30.

In order to be able to aim various types of optical complements or filters, it is necessary to get rings of conversion. A ring of conversion is identified using 2 numbers. These 2 numbers correspond respectively to the diameter of threading of the objective of the camera (55mm for Pansonic FZ-30) and to the diameter threading of the optical complement. For example to aim at an optical complement (filter, cap...) of 58mm of diameter one will take a ring of conversion 55mm/58mm. |

The remote control Panasonic DMW-RS1 (cf instruction manual p122) makes it possible to take photographs on tripod or with the camera posed without making move at the time of the pressure on the button release. Very useful for photographs of night without having to use the retarder. |

In order to push even further the capacities from the zoom of Fz30 one can associate a teleconvertissor to him. The multiplying factor of the focal distance is in general 1,5 or 1,7 (the optical complements having multiplying factors more extremely are likely to give results of bad qualities). |

The Tele Conversion lens Nikon TC-E15ED (1,5x) has the advantage of being of excellent quality, it is light and one can find it very occassion at prices sympathetic nerves. The only disadvantage of Nikon TC-E15ED it is its threading of 50mm of diameter, it is not easy to find a ring of adaptation 55mm/50mm. |

The converter great angle in general makes it possible to have a smaller focal distance with a multiplying factor of 0,8 or 0,7. With such a converter the equivalent focal distance is 28 or 24,5mm. Panasonic proposes also a converter great angle (it is the DMW-LW55) but for less low price one can find certain converters of quality like imposing Olympus WCON-08B. |
