Very good guide to using Panasonic Lumix cameras, but not for every available model
This is a well-organized and nicely written book. However, I knew when I purchased it that it was not focused precisely on the exact model of my camera. So, as I use it, I will have to adapt the instructions to what is available on my camera, which will involve different ways of accessing the features, and sometimes different features. I know that camera manufacturers always produce multiple versions of each camera type over time, so this was expected.
