Product Description
Product Description
Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic Lumix LX5: Getting the Most from Panasonic's Advanced Digital Camera is the third book in a series by Alexander S. White. His previous guides to the Leica D-Lux 4 and Panasonic Lumix LX3 were extremely well received by enthusiasts searching for comprehensive books that explain the features and operation of some of the most sophisticated compact digital cameras being sold today. The current book is a detailed resource, illustrated by more than 150 color photographs, that covers all operations, menus, and controls of the Panasonic Lumix LX5, the newest in a line of highly sophisticated, yet very portable cameras that are equipped with full manual controls as well as advanced digital technology. The book provides detailed guidance to beginning, intermediate, and more experienced photographers in plain English. The photographs illustrate the camera's menus and controls, and provide examples of many of the camera's shooting modes and special effects. For those who find the documentation provided by the camera's manufacturer to be hard to read and difficult to understand, this book fills an information gap and serves as a single source of information to let the photographer derive the maximum benefit from his or her Panasonic Lumix LX5 camera.

I purchased this book, because the CD instructions That were supplied with the LX5, were a little confusing in places, and I needed something I could dip in to as and when required. The information in the book is easy to get to, and more importantly, it's easy to understand. I fully recommend anyone who wants to get to grips with the LX5, to buy this book, which will enable them to use their camera to it's full potential. I now have much more control over my camera and enjoy using it when ever I can. I also purchased Understanding Exposure, by Bryan Peterson, which has increased my confidence in photography even more. I no longer feel a complete novice anymore, because with this information,and loads of practice, it is a very satisfactory hobby. I hope this helps.

This is everything that the LUMIX official manual isn't:
Attractive - well laid out, clear systemmatic approach, well illustrated.
Good technical writing style... covers the essential points.
Nice to dip in and out of.... PDFs are hopeless for browsing to my mind.
Good section on tips, links and other resources.
Written by a knowledgable photographer who wants the reader to get the most of a camera he obviously likes himself..
Highly recommended

This book help enormously as the instructions on disk only give a description of the camera's functions.
I found through this book the best way to set up the camera for stills and video.
Also, the instructions supplied with the camera are on disk. I prefer to browse an instruction book any day and this book fits the bill.
Worth the money.

I made a mistake
This is a great book, but my mistake was in buying the Kindle version. The Lumix LX5 is a complex beast and one really needs to be able to find the answer to a question quickly. Read more

Helpful companion for the LX5
Great little handbook. A must buy for LX5 owners as the manual that comes with the camera is pretty spartan.

Excellent LX5 book
This is a very good, if somewhat dry and dusty, book about the Panasonic Lumix LX5. Being a bloke, I don't normally do manuals, but I felt that I wasn't doing justice to the LX5's... Read more
