Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 and Nikon Nikkor AIS 28mm f2.8 Lens
by Reed A. George
Well, since I'm expecting the announcement of a new Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3 body (the rumored DMC-G5? DMC-GH3?) any time now, I figured I had better wrap up my ebook on how I use the DMC-G3. In fact, I use two of them.
The final installment includes a chapter on setting up custom configurations, and a short chapter on my conclusions on the camera.
I learned a lot by working through every detail of how to set up this camera. And the best thing is, now that I've done it, and saved some custom configurations, I can forget about the details of what many of those menu settings actually mean. This camera has so many options, it's amazing. But, I want to set most of them once, and forget them. Custom Modes help a lot, as does the Quick Menu.

For ease of navigation, I'm including links to the previous chapters below:
(Click Here) for Chapter 1 - Introduction and External Controls
(Click Here) for Chapter 2 - Menu Settings
(Click Here) for Chapter 3 - Focusing
I hope that you'll find them useful.
I recommend that you download and save all of them; I will consolidate them into a single file, but cannot guarantee that it will remain available for free forever...

Hello Reed,
ReplyDeleteI have read your excellent manual on G3. Myself, coming from the same SLR background, I agree with all you settings. As a matter of fact only my Fn1 setting was/is different.
I have 2 editorial comments though, just little quirks I found there:
1/ page 4 - Quick Menu - You have 7 settings and mention 3 empty slots. This is true on GH2, but G3 has 15 QM slots so there are still 8 left.
2/ page 21 - Your CUSTOM style setting (last paragraph) - You mention -2,-2,-2,-2 setting without mentioning which STYLE it applies to (STD,VIV,NAT....). Neither does DIXEYK.
This is not a public comment, I use this section just to let you know, so please delete it.
