A tutorial for the GX7 and GX8
2

I recently aquired a used GX8, and it is my first Panasonic camera. I was unfamiliar with the menu and a bit confused, and then a bit disappointed when I couldn't find any good video tutorials for it. If you find yourself in this situation, here is a solution: go to CreativeLive.com and buy John Greengo's class on the GX7. The overlap between the two cameras is substantial - I'd say 90%. Any time I noticed there was a discrepancy between what I saw on the screen and the camera in my hands, I hit "pause" and was able to iron out the issue quickly by consulting the manual.

Greengo gave very good explanation of not just "what" every feature/menu item on the camera was, but also advice as to "why" you might want to use it, customize it, or ignore it.

I'm not affiliated with CreativeLive and I don't know John Greengo - I just thought others who might search this forum would like to know about the availability of this learning resource.
