In this guide book the first section will cover what you absolutely need to
know just to get started using the camera and you will find this
information in the rest of this chapter.
Secondly I will take a more in depth look at what you should know about
the camera and its associated controls to use its features effectively.
Finally you will learn how to make key settings using the menu system,
so you will be able to fine tune the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 to operate
exactly as you want it to do for your style of
photography (or make
multiple set ups easily accessible from the mode dial via the C1 and C2
settings).
Whilst you will probably master most things in the first two chapters,
you
can take more time to explore the possibilities described in the third
chapter – mainly because you won't need to use them straight
away. I've
included all the menu structure here in one place so you will find what
you need, when you need it, and all in one place.
Some of you may have had previous FZ cameras, so if you fall into this
category you will be able to skip through these chapters more quickly and
move onto the two which follow.
The following few pages are designed to get you up and running with the
camera as quickly as possible. If you are completely new to digital
photography or digital cameras, you may want to read through this
section more slowly and have the camera by your side in order to “follow
along” with the instructions given.
After all the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 is not a point and shoot camera,
though
you can easily set it up to be one using the fully automatic iA
mode or by using the semi-automatic Program exposure mode (P mode)
and using just a basic autofocus mode and autofocus style.
However if you want more control over your shooting you will need to
understand more. I'm just going to tell you here what you absolutely must
know and understand to get fully proficient with your Panasonic Lumix
FZ200.
I'll go into more depth in later chapters and even repeat some of the
earlier chapter information so you don't have to remember absolutely
everything that you see written down here. So just pick up your camera,
follow a few easy steps and then go out and begin to take your best shots
– ever.
