The Panasonic G90 Menu System Simplified

by David Thorpe

The G90 is the latest in a long line of G series cameras from Panasonic. It represents in many ways the Micro Four Thirds ideal of striking a balance between portabilty and capability. Small enough to be handy, big enough to be easy handling and with superb image quality from its 20Mp sensor. Like all Micro Four Thirds cameras, the G90 is a highly complex digital imaging machine at heart and for anyone new to the system or upgrading from a smart phone it can seem quite off-putting. It needn't be. If you want a simple life, just put the G90 in iA and it is no more difficult to use than your phone. On the other hand, you don't buy a quality camera just to do selfies for Facebook and snapshots for Instagram. The G90 is capable of just about any type of work, from 30 frames per second speed burst for the sports photographer to quiet and instant focusing for video.There's a lot to know about the Panasonic G90. LVF Display Speed? ESHTR? Some settings are crucial, some just good to know. This book doesn't try to teach you photography. Its aim is to familiarise you with the menu and settings of the G90, what they do and why you might want to use them. It is true that the camera is a tool but just knowing your scales on a violin makes you a better musician, so mastery of the G90 menu will make you a better photographer.The menu system and controls of the G90 are well presented and logically laid out but with 6 main containing around 180 menu items, many of those with sub menus, even the most experienced user will sometimes find themselves scratching their head and wondering what an entry means. This small book goes through every menu choice and control and explains (a) what it does and (b) why you might want to do it. It may not inspire you in a literary sense but with its help you may find a G90 tailored to your personal taste inspiring to use.
