Re: New G7 camera operations

I have 2 questions about the operation of my G7 with a 14/140 Lumix zoom.

1. There is no Macro button on this camera, if I shoot in iA mode and get close to my subject, a macro symbol shows on the screen. But how can I shot A or S in macro?

2. On the camera back there is a menu set button with 4 surrounding buttons marked ISO, WB, Fn3 and a square symbol that I believe is focus area. If is push the ISO or WB they both come up on the screen as focus area. How do I get the buttons to work as ISO an WB?

Many thanks,

David

JoostL had answered your 2nd part.

On the first question of "macro", it should indeed call "i-Macro" by Panny, that seems to be only available (and select by camera automatically when in its sole opinion think fit) in iA+ mode (P.83 of manual). It is not a new feature of G7, but also available (similar) on some Panny M43s.
