Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX10/LX15: Getting the Most from Panasonic's Advanced Compact Camera Paperback – June 12, 2017

This is my third Alexander White book on a camera in Panasonic's Lumix LX camera series. I also have his books on the LX 5 and LX 100 cameras. As any purchaser of the LX camera series knows, Panasonic provides new owners with only a very rudimentary owner's handbook and instruction manual. An Advanced Manual can only be found and downloaded from the web, something I found not at all convenient as well as time-consuming and inconvenient to download, print and use as a more convenient and ready source of information. You would think that for the price the camera costs, an Advanced owner's instruction would be included as part of the package or that at the very least, it would be made available for purchase as an accessory. In lieu of this, I have found White's Guides, entirely instructive, informative and very easy for this senior citizen and serious amateur photography enthusiast to understand and use. Hooray for Alexander White!

Hard to imagine that a hand-held seemingly simple camera can do all this, but it can. 200 large pages. Well illustrated, it is an easy read. If you haven't read this book, you're missing out on 80% of what the Lumix DMC-LX10 can do. Don't spend this much on a camera and not take advantage of it's features.

Essential guide to complicated camera, unless you would rather read the small print online manual of 308 pages.The LX 10 has many buttons; and if you accidentally push one while handling the camera, it may go off into some routine like 4K that ties it up for one or more minutes so you'll miss your next photo opportunity. The Photograph's Guide in convenient hard copy seems to cover everything. It will help keep you from activating unwanted settings and explain how to use the ones you want. The information is easily found and understood. We could all wish for a lower price, but I say get it anyway. Couldn't be better!

Helpfull. Easy to read. Received in few days ++++.But Big déception concerning the paper and quality of printing /like a inkjet printer.

The Panasonic manual for this camera is over 300 pages on the features (and there are many) of this camera. The "Photographers Guide..." explains how to use those features. It is a softcover, 200 page,8 1/2 x 11 tome for those who want to find out how to navigate through the myriad features and abilities of this fine camera.I read most of the manual and took the camera on a vacation to Ireland. The sheer volume of what this camera can do was wasted since, most of the time, I couldn't get the particular feature to work. Fortunately there is a "snapshot" mode that I mostly used and was very happy with the result.Since returning home I, quite accidentally, discovered this book on Amazon and immediately purchased it. If only I'd known of it's existence before my vacation. I thought I understood this camera but boy was I wrong. It goes through the nuances of all the settings (and I do mean all) and what is automatically turned off or on at each setting. How to use the settings and when to use them based on what kind of picture you want to take.I will say that this camera is NOT for the novice photographer unless you are willing to take the time to become a better photographer. However, if the LUMIX DX-10 is your camera of choice, then this guide should be in your hands.

if you bought the Panasonic LX10, you really need to buy this book. I wish it came in a smaller size but, the amount of info is invaluable! the LX10 is a great but complicated little camera. this book helps to break it down into a more manageable process. I wish I had bought before our trip to hawaii but, I have it now. very thorough guide.

This is a very helpful book. It is well indexed and is great for quickly looking up a topic and learning something new about the camera.

Valuable information to become familiar with your Panasonic Lumix DMC LX10/LX15. Get all of the value out of this amazing camera by learning it thoroughly.
