The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 has earned a reputation as one of the
first choices for photographers who want an advanced camera they
can carry around with them to capture great images without the
complication and weight of a DSLR or other large camera. With
features such as a very fast lens with an aperture of f/1.4,
excellent image quality, and a solid array of burst-shooting
capabilities, this compact camera has attracted an enthusiastic
following in the photography community. However, the camera does
not come with a detailed printed manual for reference, making it
difficult for users to find answers to questions about the use of
the camera's many controls, menus, and features. With the release
of this guide book to the LX7, White Knight Press has provided
users with a comprehensive guide to all operations of this
sophisticated camera. Using a patient, tutorial-like approach, the
book provides guidance to beginning and intermediate photographers
not only about how to accomplish things with the LX7, but when and
why to use the camera's many controls, menus options, and other
features. The book does not assume specialized knowledge by the
reader as it explains topics such as autofocus, manual focus, depth
of field, aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure
compensation, white balance, and ISO sensitivity. The book also
provides details about the camera's numerous menu options for
playback, setup, and customizing the operation of the various
buttons and other controls. The book contains more than 400
photographs, almost all in full color, which illustrate the LX7's
controls, shooting screens, and menus. The photographs also provide
examples of the various types of photographs that can be taken
using the many creative settings of the camera, including the
Creative Control settings, which let the photographer alter the
color processing and other aspects of images; the Scene shooting
mode, with settings that are optimized for various subjects,
including landscapes, portraits, and action shots; the Photo Style
menu option, which provides the ability to customize the appearance
of images; and the camera's strong array of features for continuous
shooting and shooting in dim lighting. In addition, the book goes
beyond the bounds of everyday photography, and provides
introductions to more advanced topics such as infrared photography,
street photography, astrophotography, and macro photography. The
book also includes a full discussion of the video recording
abilities of the LX7, which can shoot high-definition (HD) video
with stereo sound, and which offers manual control of exposure and
focus during movie recording. In three appendices, the book
provides information about accessories available for the camera,
including cases, external flash units, and filter adapters, and
includes a list of web sites and other resources for further
information. Also, the book includes a detailed appendix with
helpful "quick tips" that give particular insights into how to take
advantage of the camera's features in the most efficient ways
possible.
