Setting Up Your Camera to Meet Your Photographic Needs
Everyone’s preferences will be different as to how to set up the controls of the FZ80/82 to make the
camera ideally suited to your style of photography.
Panasonic have created several programmable buttons and controls to enable specific adjustments to be
created to meet your needs.
In most cases function buttons, can be re-assigned from their default operation to one where you would
gain greater advantage.
The Fn2 button is one where you have the greatest degree of freedom as to which function to assign to it.
Fn2 by default engages the 4K post focus feature. If you do not use this mode, then reassigning this button
to a feature that you use more frequently is useful.
It maybe that you want to use this button to quickly access the facility to move the AF area and set its size
or you may want to use this button as the switch to a monochrome live view in the EVF.
You can also re-map the on screen Fn buttons (Fn4 – Fn8) to provide access to your own controls. These
however are not as accessible as the physical buttons Fn1 – Fn3.
These re-assignments are made in the Custom (spanner + C) menu under the Fn Button Set option.
Cursor Button, Menu/Set Button Operation
The 4-way cursor button is used to navigate through menus, either up/down or
left/right.
Selection is made by depressing the Menu/Set button in the middle of the cursor
control. When “Cursor Button Lock” is assigned to a FN button it is possible to disable
the Menu/Set operation of this button thus preventing changes being made.
DISP Button Operation
The DISP (display) button can be used to cycle the content of the LCD or EVF through six different screen
displays for the LCD and four displays for the EVF. Each depress of the button steps the display on by one
screen.
The six LCD display screens displayed in the image recording mode;
with information without information with information + level
without information + level Image set up information turned off
The EVF cycles through the first four of these displays, omitting the image set up and blank screens.
