- This video is going over the layout of the Panasonic ZS100 (or TZ100, TZ110). This is to help those who have purchased the camera, either to introduce them to the buttons and doors, or for someone who has already had the camera but needed a reminder. The more you know, the less you will feel intimidated with the available settings and features! I also have photo and video examples from the camera at the beginning of the walkthrough!
If you have questions I did not answer, please let me know in the comments below!

I wish there were videos like yours for all cameras, it would make life much easier, thank you.
I am definitely working on it! :) Are there any specific models you would like to see? I would be happy to add them to my list if I can get my hands on them!
The best review Award goes to Shutterbug 101 …round applause everyone!
THANK YOU! I just bought this camera last week (March 2024) and moved from a Canon to a Panasonic and didn't want to go thru the huge book that came with this camera.
Perfect just what I was looking for.
Have you ever thought of doing more in depth videos? I would definitely pay for more detailed explanations. Your style of teaching is very easy to follow. I was very into 35 mm photography about 40 years ago and was feeling a little overwhelmed until your video. Edited for spelling.
Thank you Heather and Shutterbug 101. I recommend to anyone with LUMIX ZS100 to see your video first. It is the best ZS100 instructional video ever made; better than the actual Owner's Manual by Panasonic. I wish it was twice as long and included additional, detailed description of MENU/SET tabs and types mentioned by Heather in brief, such as [Setup] and [Custom]. I would love to learn from Heather what's behind each available option, and what they do, and don't do. For example, what is MF Assist Display PIP, Cust.Set Mem. and many other modes, hiding behind abbreviations and acronyms. But most of all, thank you for a job well done.
It is on my to do list! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for all the time you have spent putting this together. You have already helped me to understand this camera. You certainly did not make me feel like an idiot.
This presentation is outstanding. The best I've come across. Thank you so much!
This is the best video I have seen on any piece of equipment on you tube that I have personally watched. There is very little that I could not find here. Better information than was provided by Panasonic as far as I can see. I think I will be referring back to this a bunch of times. I am going to be looking back at other work you are doing. Amazing job!
Excellent video, thank you. I have been struggling with the user manual and getting nowhere. Your video explains the camera in a straight forward and uncomplicated way.
Completely agree with the comments below. Such a clear presentation with the correct flow. Starts with basics and then moves progressively through more niche aspects. So much better than the manual. Panasonic should hire shutterbug to do official videos for them. Bottom Line: If you buy this camera, watch this presentation first before you even open the package. You will have so much more confidence in using it. Thanks Shutterbug!
Got this camera out after not using it for a few years and your video really helped me get back on my feet with it. Thank you!
This was the best video i found about this camera. Just got it yesterday for birthday and felt kinda overwhelmed about the settings but you made it so simple and understandable. Thank you for the video! :)
I have had the camera a number of years and really needed your video. Thank you so much for the clear explanation and tutorial.
Exactly what I was looking for! I found the instruction manual very over whelming - thank you!
I just purchased this camera and your video has been the best for getting an understanding of the basic functions. Thanks for doing it! Next is to start going through the manual to discover all the other settings that I can experiment with but because of your help, I can start shooting NOW.
Thank you so much. This explained so much. I got the z60 and I was so overwhelmed with all of the features. This was perfect.
I've had this camera for a few years and I needed to watch your great walkthrough to remind me of how awesome this ZS100 is! Thanks!
Thank you, Heather. I just got this camera and your video was very helpful. I appreciate how well you went through all the settings and features. I will be checking out more of your videos for sure!
I just got this camera. Your presentation was fantastic! I am overwhelmed with all the information presented, but I will watch this video multiple times to absorb what was presented. I am excited to start using this camera.
Thanks for this video. I bought this camera a week ago. Although I have experience with several cameras over a long period of time, this video saved me a lot of time in guiding me through the features of this camera. A great way to present things. Many thanks! ❤
This is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, incredibly valuable!
I have this camera and it is my go to camera for taking anywhere, good quality, easy to use, great for travel. I wanted a point and shoot with a viewfinder, so far after a couple of years I am very happy with it, good video, thank you.
Thanks for this much needed video. I have this camera coming in tomorrow, this is a big help. Great timing.
I just got this camera, and, this video is the best I have seen on all the features and how to use it. Thanks for a great presentation, no obnoxious music or extreanous chat.
Thank you such excellent description of how this camera works & all of its features & functions. I just purchased this had the earlier model that broke this one was very different & if it wasn't for you I would have never figured out how to close the flash I thought it would have automatically closed. I looked on several sites & you tube & you Rock & the best i have ever come by cant' thank you enough
Glad I found this video, now I understand the workings of my camera and can use it properly. Thank you 😀
Thank you for this video. I know nothing about cameras and this literally breaks everything down into a very understandable way. This has really helped me know how to use a camera with so many features and options
Thank you so much, this video helped me way more than the people in the store where I bought my camera!!!
I just purchased this camera yesterday, and reading through the manual was a nightmare. THANK YOU so much for making things understandable. Now that I understand the camera a little more, I need to watch your video again!
What an excellent, unpretentious, clear walk through.
Thank you so much. Best wishes from the UK. ✊
Excellent Video!! Thank you for showing the Reset mode. It's exactly what I needed.
Wow, incredible video of information for amateurs. I've had my camera for four years and stumbled through 4 years of trying to figure out the operational mode. I have watched this video twice and will probably watch it 10 more times. Awesome job! Thank you so much!!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video! I'm really nervous about getting started and you helped me ease the anxiety a bit with your super sweet and and simple overview. Thank you!!!
thank you so much! I've had this camera for a while and needed some help with it. This was perfect!
This is a Brilliant Video. Learned a lot. I recently sold my TZ100 got the TZ200 now I am back to the TZ100 as the pictures in low light are much better. Only advantage with TZ200 is the slightly larger zoom and better Quality viewfinder overall the TZ100 out performs the TZ200 in my Opinion.
My camera just arrived without a manual so this is fantastic!!! Thank you!
This video was helpful! I got this camera for Christmas and am new to photography! Thank you for making it!
Thanks for this video! I have the printed manual and a book I bought, but your video has made it much easier!
This is a wonderful review of the ZS100! I will be returning to it often...
Awesome walk through of all the features and menu. Thanks
Thanks for the walk through. Great video!!
great vid - will need to watch several times for everything to sink in!!
Thanks for this fabulous video that help tremendously with this point and shoot!!!!
This is just quality content. Thanks
WOW thank you so much . i have over the years tried to find an easy to understand but compehensive covering everything - resource for my panasonic. i could not understand teh manual becasue it was so technical and does not explain why and when ( and how) to use the different settings . I was getting fed up with it as did not seem as good as my simple point and shoot camera but now thanks to your well thought out and clearly explained video and your in depth knowledge I understand how to get the best out of it. If only I had seen this video when i first bought it . Brilliant ! Thank you so much for enabling me to now get interested and more confident in knowledgeably using the features and not just treating it as a point and shoot.
Its you not Panasonic that has shown me its wonderful features . Thank you so much for all the time and effort in making this availabe - for free .
Excellent, really clear, thorough and practical. Thank you.
Excellent video! Learned a lot about my camera.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review :)
Had mine since 2016. Can’t see ever getting rid of it. Great camera
Thanks so much Heather...that was perfect! 👍
Great video. Well done ! Respect
Great instructional video on this camera. Only disagreement was when you said this is 'a simple camera'. Having spent 1.5 hrs trying to 'un-gray' the digital zoom, I was about to list camera online. But when you mentioned re-set function of settings, I tried these. And voila the digital zoom function appeared again. Great video.
Excellent and very informative video! Thank you. Now I can make better use of my Panasonic camera.
Outstanding video. Extremely helpful to a beginner much like myself. The most valuable part was the stuff "I could ignore for now" as well as "buttons I might accidentally hit that will screw everything up". One minor, minor suggestion. Cut the background music. It's a bit distracting to the very helpful information that you provide.
Thank you! I have adjusted the music on my new videos so it is not distracting and just a background element. This channel has definitely been a learning experience!
I just got a zs100. This is really helpful!
Bought my ZS100 two years ago, found the menus confusing, and put it away. Bought a Canon G5 X Model I for its better controls, but it’s images are inferior. Returned it, got the ZS100 out of the drawer, watched your video, and I’m ready to go!
Very helpful I have had my camera recently repaired and thought I should understand more in how it actually works so thanks for the information set out in simple terms better than the huge Panasonic manual which I got bored of reading and is ok if you are a pro photographer but not so good for the layman.
Awesome tutorial 👌
Just ordered this camera and was glad to find this video.
Are you going to use it for vlogging purpose?? I’m thinking for vlogging
Just wanted a good pocketable camera for travel that was better than a phone camera.
This camera does great video but doesn’t have a tilting screen which makes it a little more difficult to vlog. If your looking for an inexpensive vlogging camera option, I would look into the Panasonic ZS80.
@@Shutterbug101 You're really paying for the tilting screen with the ZS80 - costs as much or more than the ZS100, but only has a 1/2.3 sensor. The one-inch sensor is one of the features that makes the ZS100 worth the price, IMO. It is a tough choice, because the ability to see yourself while vlogging is critical. Personally I use a less expensive camera when I want to be able to video myself while moving, and will be using the ZS100 for almost everything else. I just picked up the ZS100 since there are incentives now - bundle deals and the free 3-year extended warranty. OUTSTANDING VIDEO - thanks!
WOW…Brilliant. Thank you
I just got this camera and your video convinced me to keep it. I know it’s a great camera but it appeared difficult. Not with your explanation. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for your help
.transferes pics to.my tablet this morning..so easy. Pansdonic should sign you up to write the manual..Happy mew year 😄😄
Hello Heather, came across your video as a TH-cam recommendation. Direct & to the point which I don't get very much. I have ZS 100 & still learning. Use it more than my Sony a7iiii.
Thanks for the Video. This was really helpful compared to the Instruction manual.
Very helpful. Thanks
Added back in my cart, interesting little camera
Thank you awesome review!
Thanks... very informative
lt has a viewfinder, manual mode for long exposure night photography, good zoom range, shoots RAW, and it's small. This may be the one for me. Thanks for the video.
It shoots raw?! That's highly beneficial to other point and shoots
Terrific overview. Thank you. I will attempt to find your video instructions for connecting to wifi, blue tooth, smartphone or pc
Thank you!
THANK YOU!
Agreeing with Roy Below. I'm only 5 minutes in, and I can tell you are presenting well and concisely. I'm going to need the full overview because, for god's sake, cannot even get the flash to work. Reading the manual...I'd just as soon put needles in my eyes. I'm only 5 minutes in, but I'll finish with the hope of taking a flash hi-res photo after the tutorial.
thank you!!
Thanks!
Thanks 🙏
thank you
Thank you for a thorough review. Question I am wanting to photograph my 8 x 10 in paintings for online gallery What settings would you use for the above camera.
Amazing video! Super helpful. Thanks
What would you recommend the settings for filming a concert in a small club with very fast moving lights? Also you mentioned. Having the ability to change the settings on the microphone. I didn’t see where and how to access that. I would be trying to set the microphone to a very low setting as to not overload and distort the audio. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Thank you! For filming a concert, I would use frame rate 60p if there are fast moving lights and avoid the zoom to take advantage of a wide aperture for more light intake. As for the mic, you have to be in your video mode on the dial, go to the video tab in the menu and scroll down to see Mic Level display (turn it on) and Mic Level Adjust to avoid those peaking areas.
Thanks for the reply. Filmed the show already. Came out excellent. I was able to have an external audio source to synch with.
Thank you for this outstanding video! Question: Is there any way to attach a cable or delay shutter release to this? I will take long nighttime star photos on a tripod and need to have the camera as still as possible. Thanks
Hi. Thanks for the run through. I’m used to a DSLR so I’m finding these menus kind of complicated! I don’t seem to have 1-point color mode and I just purchased the camera. Any idea why?
Are you in your Painters Palate mode?
How do you select the color in the One Point Color mode, at 10:51.
Great Video---helped me very much. Will watch again :) I have a question: is there a way to add the date to the picture/JPG filename automatically? I like to show my travel pictures in an electronic picture frame chronologically.
How good would it be in nighttime photography like walking the streets, alley ways and so on great video lots of information ❤
Not sure if my tz100 has problem. I can't set the ring to adjust the focusing peak...
Just bought this camera. Your video was at the top of my search results and a perfect overview. Thank you! If I want to use the One Point Color option, how do you tell the camera which color you want to be the focal color?
So glad my video was helpful for you! Once selected in the painters palate mode, there is a tab on the right of the screen that says fn, hit that, select the eye dropper, move the box to the color you want, hit set, and your ready to shoot!
I stumbled into a display where the back screen told me the focus range based on current settings such as 3 feet to infinity as an example but I have yet to find it again. Are you familiar with that and can you tell me how to get it back? That is handy for walk around street photos but I can't find it now.
Just watched your video - very helpful but my zs100 (bought in11/22) does not have a RAW setting. AmI missing something or are you using an zs 200 for demo purposes? Thx
Hi there! I was using the ZS100, but maybe if you reset your settings, it may become an option? Should be under the first tab in the menu to select RAW.
Hi Heather, thanks a lot for this video, it helped me a lot learning to understand my new TZ100. Do you have any idea why my camera does not have the One color mode like you showed in your video ?
Figured it out! The one color mode isn't available when the camera is in 4k photo mode. :)
Great video question does this camera screen pull up at all?
Thanks for the great video!
I have got this camera on trial for a week.
I was especially interested in the HDR with a quality lens, but I am disappointed
, because the photo's seem to loose a lot of sharpness. I don't think the camera makes the HDR with a lighting bracket.
Can you tell me a little about this?
I do not typically recommend using HDR on the small ones in high highlight, low shadow situations. It’s quite a small sensor for it to find a good balance. Have you compared using HDR vs without? If this is a loaned camera, I would go and reset the settings because the previous user may have made changes that are effecting the way you capture negatively
Nice walkthrough. Is there a way to connect a lavalier to this camera for better audio?
“You might get your nose print on it.”
Don’t make me laugh now.😂
Hi I have this camera, I’ve hooked it up to the computer using a capture card and then onto OBS to record. I’ve checked the Panasonic website and it says it has a clean hdmi output. But when I have it on the computer it displays the icons on the right of the screen. Is there a setting to remove this and have a clean image on obs? Great video helped me a lot . Thanks.
Great video. Thank you very much. Just purchased this camera. Do you know if which app I can use for downloading and editing pictures and video on my cellphone ? I see Panasonic has multiple apps
This model uses the Panasonic Image App!
I made a video on how to connect and use it here:
th-cam.com/video/Bnik3B9H-Js/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much!
Your video has helped me a lot! But somehow I shot a whole day in MP4 and I need to convert it to JPG. Is there a way I can do that on the camera?
Hello.. does the zs100 have a minimum shutter speed setting or something similar to it? How can I have a high shutter speed while keeping my ISO as low as possible... is that possible?
Great Question! The minimum shutter speed can go as low as 30 seconds long. As for a high speed setting while keeping the ISO low, you will need as much light as you can in the area you are photographing. The less light there is, the higher your ISO will need to be to keep the speed high.
Hi, my Tz100 wich looks the same always makes stupid moving photos but I want still "normal" photos that I can print. I cannot get away from video unless I chose panarama. Do you know the fix for this as I am about to throw this camera out of the window? Thank you.
Really great review.Thank you.
After unboxing and going through the menu settings along with your video, I have noticed the sensor has heated up significantly!!
Should I be worried?
Very interesting, you definitely shouldn't be having an overheating issue by just going through the settings. Where did you purchase your camera? You may want to ask them about it, and see if it needs to be replaced.
What is the main different between ZS100 and TZ220 other than the zoom range?
Image and video quality?
Low light performances in image and video?
Very obvious in quality or only slightly? Which one is better?
The zs100 has less zoom but better low light options due to the aperture, and the ZS200/TZ220 has a rubber grip pad on the body but that is pretty much it!
