Re: Lumix GX800

The advanced manual would be the best place to start. Here is a version for the EU (you can find the right one for your region if you go to your region's Panasonic website):

https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/dscoi/DC-GX800/EG_EC_EF_EB/DC-GX800_DVQP1194ZA_eng.pdf

The links are all clickable in there. Page 14 and 15 shows what all the buttons do.

For lenses you need to buy Micro Four Thirds lenses (see page 17). Not all Panasonic lenses will work because Panasonic also sells L-mount lenses which is not compatible.

To find other guides keep in mind the GX800 is also called the GX850 and GF9 in other markets.

It will overheat in 4K in around 5 minutes, but it should be able to record 1080p for far longer.
