Re: GX7 - a warning!

Fantastic night clouds. Turned on GX7, black screen with A F4.0 ISO 200. Denied taking photos. Hit all buttons - or so I thought - no good. So I gave up and used GRII on a tripod instead. Very good focusing in the dark.. Then I found disp on GX7, problem solved. Must have hit disp before turning off. Tried the same with 3 other cameras, no problem. Never happened in 15 yers. Of course all of you know this, but very peculiar behaviour. Other strange behaviour?

Most behavior is strange until you become accustomed to it.

A universal in Panasonic cameras is that clicking the Disp button cycles through the display formats, also through the pages in the menu system, and also through the pages in the quick menu.

Olympus has a similar button.
