Microphone/Remote release port - behind the rubber dust seal is a
2.5mm socket. This port is a dual function device allowing an external
microphone (like the Panasonic MS-1) or any other electret condenser
microphone with a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male stereo adaptor cable to
be used. It can also be used for connection of a wired remote shutter
release switch or intervalometer to do time lapse photography, for
example. The port can only be used for one function at a time.
HDMI and AV port on the left hand side of the camera (viewed from the
front) behind the large dust seal flap are 2 ports. The largest is a mini
HDMI socket for connection of the camera to an external display or TV
set and the smaller port provides a lower quality, composite video plus
left and right audio signals.

EVF/LCD button - provides the facility to switch the display from the LCD
screen to the EVF (electronic view finder) and vice versa.
Replay button - switches the camera from the recording mode to
playback mode allowing the last image or video clip to be reviewed on the
LCD screen.
AF/AE Lock button - this button is used to provide exposure,
focus or
both exposure and focus lock depending upon how this button is
assigned in the set up menu.
Depressing this button with the camera aimed with the focus square
aligned on the subject will cause the camera to evaluate and lock the
focus or exposure or both.
This locked exposure and focus will remain in place until the button is
again depressed or the camera is turned off. The button can also be
assigned as the Fn2 button if the AE/AF lock facility is not needed and
then another function could be accessed by depressing this button.
Fn3 Button - gives access to a user programmed function which will be
explained later.
Disp Button - allows the method by which screen information is
presented to you.
By depressing this button it is possible to cycle through the display
options available to change the level of detail shown.
