Setting up
I had a Panasonic FZ-200 at 24x optical zoom set to f8 @ 125 during partial phases, and set to auto, with extreme underexposure compensation, during totality. The totality shots were a bit overexposed, but I was more interested in watching than spending time tweaking the camera.
An intervalometer triggered the camera at 15-s intervals throughout the eclipse and I bracketed the shots +/- 1 stop. As the Earth rotated I had to adjust the camera angle to track the sun, but that was only every 10 minutes or so. I also had an old Nikon 995 set up for shooting the surroundings. Tom was shooting with a Canon with a bigger lens than I had, but I've not seen his photos yet.
