how do you make it so the background is completely black?

Beautiful! The focus is perfect! I love it!

Thanks folks.

Our balcony is roofed over & the sun which was overhead was shining on the railing/Dove so what was behind is dark when exposing for the bird. Sometimes I get a lucky shot.

Great shot. Was that taken with your Panasonic G1? Overall, how do you like the G1?

Yes Dave, with the G1. My biggest gripe with it is that there is very little grip & it is not comfortable with the 45-200 lens on which is most of the time with me. If they had designed it to use 4 x AA batteries instead of the proprietary one it would have a decent grip. BTW, I have small hands so it would be worse for someone with large hands. My S5 even with a tel converter hanging out front is much easier to handle because of the grip. My opinion is that Panasonic tried to keep it too small & sacrificed the ergonomics. I have only had it two months & am still learning how to use it.
