The Panasonic GX8 Menu System Simplified

The Panasonic GX8is one of the most versatile and advanced digital cameras ever produced. That makes it a formidable imaging tool but also gives the user a steep learning curve to get the best from it. The menu system, the heart of controlling the camera, contains 147 main items, many of those having their own sub and sub sub menu entries This book helps you overcome that steep learning curve by going through the menu options one by one, explaining what they do and why you might want to do it. At the end of the book, I illustrate, item by item, every menu setting I use as my basic camera setup. It won't be your ideal setup but it will give you a working configuration from which to find it. After a more than 40 years career as a professional news and magazine photographer, I went over to Micro Four Thirds camera for all my work almost as soon as they came out. I've never regretted that and I hope that with my little book you'll come to respect and admire these little jewels of camera technology as much as I do.
