The Panasonic G9 Menu System Simplified

by David Thorpe

The G9 is Panasonic's first top of the line camera specifically designed for stills rather than being a stills/ video hybrid. With 60fps burst shooting, class leading stabilization, a user configurable menu system, 80Mp High Resolution mode and many other high end features it is of necessity a complex camera. As with any digital camera the heart of the machine is the menu system, consisting of around 180 entries, many with their own sub menus offering many hundred of options.It is no surprise then that even experienced users can find themselves scratching their heads as they wade through the mass of options.. This book goes through each and every every menu choice and explains what it does and why you might want to do it. It doesn't try to teach you photography. You wouldn't have chosen a G9 if you didn't already have some expertise. What my books aims to do is to familiarise yourself with the G9 and learn to tailor it to your own taste and needs. Having done that, you I think you will find using the G9 not only a pleasure but inspiring as well.

A great help.

As far as I know this is the only English language book available to help G9 owners.
Having said that, it is a great help navigating the many menu features of the camera and does provide practical advice to understand and use the many features available.

Learned New things about a camera i use every day.

The book delivers exactly what is promised. Says what every option is for and tells you why you might choose one option over another.

An indispensable guide to using the Panasonic G9. After reading this book, I went from having little idea of how to use this camera (I already owned the G7) to being able to take fairly decent shots with it and understanding the majority of the controls and menus. 4 stars are because there were some editing problems with at least one mislabeling of a function keys and a repetition of a few small sections. But still absolutely no regrets regarding the decision to purchase it.
