Life is too short to watch clickbait videos. Please give us a precis so as we do not have to watch them.
I much prefer the written word, it is much easier to skip the boring bits.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of expecting me to give you a precis of something you apparently have zero interest in, you could contribute to the thread by linking to "written word" articles that cover the same detail as a 2 hr video?
For those who dislike watching videos, Panasonic has a Lumix Academy that offers 36 written articles for people to get started with Lumix cameras. There is a free registration (although you can find the links to all of them on google).

Sample of one here:

Personally I like the Panasonic advanced manual for the respective cameras. The page about buttons and dials got me up to speed on the camera quickly and I can use the search function to find out more information about any specific feature.

For those OK with video, and want to learn about a specific Panasonic camera, Panasonic's training guides have short videos organized per topic, which may be much easier to digest than a long 2 hour video.

Thanks, I imagine that would be a big help for others of your disposition.
IMNHO the Northrups deserve every click they get; and these are most definitely NOT clickbait (which is where the title, description or thumbnail is misleading about the content). These are thoughtfully and professionally presented and instructive videos that are among the best of their genre (and are free).
