Okay, so the Lumix FZ8 doesn't see in the dark as it quotes maximum ISO
of 'only' 1600 - which is the rating of the stock film we used to use for
the same purpose. My most recent images taken under - sometimes dim -
stage lighting can be accessed from

see the link "nearly 200 photographs" under the actors' pictures and be
patient while 200 thumbnails dribble down the wire.
