Panasonic FZ80/FZ82 Walkthrough

- This video is going over the layout of the Panasonic FZ80 (or FZ82). 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!
CORRECTION: At 2:33 I mention this camera does not have in body stabilization only optical. This is false! When making this video, I misspoke and thought optical was digital. In the case of DIGITAL stabilization, it would not have in body stabilization. However, OPTICAL stabilization IS in body stabilization for this camera! My apologies for any mix ups!

Bless this woman, she reads the instructions so we don't have to 🙏
Ikr I just got the same camera and I don't know the guide
😂
Thank you Heather. After reading the manual, and looking at another "'how to" TH-cam video I thought I'd just return the camera, my husband found Shutter Bug , in 30 minutes I learned enough about the camera to know it wasn't made just to drive me crazy. Heather, you are a great instructor. Heather tells you all the things you need to know to get started.
I too listened to some videos that made me feel like I was unable to operate this camera. I had my box ready as I planned to return it. Heather's video changed my mind. Panasonic owes her!
OMG so true! If you overcomplicate your camera, you'll end up never using it. I've had mine for a year and... used it twice exactly for that reason... Great video, thanks so much
Wow!!.What a fantastic instructional video. I just bought this camera and watching your video alone at work without even having this camera in my hand , I already feel like I have a very good grasp of it. I am going to watch it again and do a follow along with the camera. Your instructions are so easy to follow, You are clear, concise, very thorough and pleasant to listen to. You didn't veer off on another subject or talk too fast or too much or have a schtick. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, I truly wish all tutorials were just like this one in terms of pace and thoroughness and concise instructions. And just very easy to listen to. Keep up the excellent work!👍👍👍
What an amazing video - thank you.
As a photography moron I found your video astoundingly helpful. I tried a few other tutorials and they managed to bamboozle me within seconds and leave me suffering with feelings of photographic inadequacies. You, in contrast, made understanding simple. I now actually think I might be able to take a photo or two 😁
As one TH-camr to another, keep up the excellent work. It's largely unrewarding, but I guarantee you're helping more people than you'll ever really know. You've certainly helped me and earned my eternal thanks and subscription.
Now... if you could just pop across the Atlantic and take my pictures for me...
No? I'd better watch some more of your videos then 😄
I agree, this lady gave very informative useful information. Other videos ive seen assume you know how to use a digital camera.....excellent , thank u..
Ditto! 😊
This is the clearest tutorial I have found. You are an excellent instructor. I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you so very much.
Thank you sooooo much. From a Dad who hasn’t got a clue on cameras. I can now help my 9 year old.
Finally a Girl who can explain in easy and simple instructions without all the techy terms and unnecessary jargon that only frustrates those of us just wanting simple and direct information
Very Grateful
This is the absolute BEST Panasonic LUMIX video I’ve ever seen. Thank you - I finally feel like I can enjoy using my camera.
You should go see the results the GH5 can produce. Lolz. A million times better.
@@st.michaelthearchangel7774 It's also vastly more expensive, so you can't really compare the two, this is a great budget camera and adequate for most people that are not pro photographers
@@st.michaelthearchangel7774 you dont say, for a 1000 dollars more i wouldnt expect that. you can not compare cameras with such diferent price range
Very impressive way of teaching the starters as well as experts, each and every detail is exposed, thanks
Ditto on "Bless this woman." So glad I found you Master teacher! Thank you so much!
I agree with the poster who said this is the cleanest video out there for the FX80. Within her start, I was able to do Auto pics, and flix. I've had this camera for way to long now, and have tried many others videos, after long ago having trashed the written instructions Panasonic lamely laid on this thing. Anyhow, Thanks for posting this. My plan is to watch a few minutes a day, until I feel comfy with this camera.
Such a well-conceived instructional video. Concisely lays out the key functions and operation procedures of a complicated device - with just the right level of detail for novices. They should link this video on the paperwork in the box.
Outstanding help for us new Lumix Fz80 owners, thanks Heather!
This video deserves an Oscar.
Thank you so much off to another great start. Purchased it. Opened it. Tried it and sadly packed it away after vacation. Back at it again. Thank you so much for getting me started.
I just bought mine, and I am delighted at the overall quality of the photos and the ease of use. Thank you for further helping me to understand this very nice piece of equipment.🙏👍🏽
Hi, sugar... My wonderful husband just gave me the FZ80 for my birthday and I've been checking out the "how-to"s on TH-cam. Thank heaven for yours! It's the only one that makes sense to me. Especially at the end when you say don't try to do too much in the beginning because it will become too complicated and you'll never use it...or words to that effect. Amen! I already took it out in the back yard and shot pix of my friendly feral cat and a Cardinal that she missed, and some wonderful cumulus clouds that covered the afternoon sky. I'm ready to go forth and try out some of the other settings that I'm not familiar with. Not too much at once, of course. ;-) Thanks so much for being here. I'll be leaning on you if I need some explanations. Thanks, again!;
Thank you for watching! I hope you have a great time with your new camera! If you have any questions, feel free to let me know! :)
Thank you Heather for taking the time to record and post this video. Expecting delivery of this camera today. Your walkthrough will have me up and running in short order)))))
Thank goodness I found you. I needed this video so badly. Learned so very much so quickly. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant run through of all the things I couldn't find anywhere else, certainly not in the unreadable manuals from Panasonic and a number of other 'how to' videos. Thank you so much for your clarity and comprehensiveness. I suspect many people like me get stuck at the 'what does that do?' stage and how to change, try out and importantly REVERSE various of the multiple settings. I have felt overwhelmed and depressed by this camera. After your video I now feel inspired and will be able to try out so many of the things which caused me utter confusion. Bless you and happy new year!
Really well done. I've been shooting photos since I was a kid with an Argus C3 Rangefinder, developing my own film and prints in B&W. I just bought this camera as a replacement to my NIKON D50 (which lasted a long time) and of course, my iPhone, which I love but it's just not a camera. Your teaching style is spot on; easy to follow and just thorough enough. Thanks!!
Thank you so much. You've saved me time, as I've just bought this camera and, due to shortage of time, I was planning to read its instructions on my flight tomorrow.
AJHHHHHH WOAH this woman is a litteral legend 🙌 this was the most useful and easy to follow tutorial I've watched! 💕
I ordered mine a day ago. Super helpful (and clear, btw) to see this, thank you for the time and solid walkthrough. Keep doing these. I may pause here on this one since this is the camera I just got, but I am sure others will benefit from your videos. Great stuff!!
This has been the best camera review video I’ve seen. Thank you! I learned more from this one video than from 10 other reviewers! I’m subscribed for sure and will start to watch your other videos in order to learn how my camera can work for me!
She's saved my settings option I changed. 26 min reset settings. Your the best God bless you
Robin Gibson.
Thank You Shutterbug, for a brilliant video and talk through this cameras functions. I've just upgraded my bridge to the Fz82. As a technophobe I need to take in as much info as possible. This video is something I can go back to time and time again. I look forward to listening to more of your blogs....Cheers and keep doing a great job...
I just purchased this camera today. The gentleman at the store said that I could youtube some videos and that would really help me get a jump start on learning the ins and outs of the camera. Yours was the first video I've seen and it definitely taught me a lot already. Definitely a fan now! thank you so much!!
Thank you for the walk-thru of the DC Z80. I just bought one because of a sale price and was quite confused as to how everything worked- the supplied manual is not too clear. Your video just gave me a lot of confidence to take this camera wherever I go and leave the cheap point and shoot camera I've been using at home. Thanks for the great, easy to understand video.
So happy to find your excellent video explaining this camera. I just purchased it and will be taking it out tomorrow for it's maiden voyage. Your clear and concise explanations for setting up the menus was just what I needed. Thank you!
This is exactly what I needed: a clear, detailed and excellently presented explanation.
Thanks
Excellent video going over the functions and setting of the FZ80. It saved me a ton of time getting my camera set up so I could get started with it!
This was soooo helpful, thank you! So clear, much more useful than a written manual. I feel really confident to go and try out the basics now, but knowing what a lot of those other options mean if I need.😊 Yes, do keep doing these videos - you have a real gift with clear instruction.
Absolutely loved this video ! Had this camera over a year and even though I did an online photography course I had no idea on the cameras functionality !
Thankyou so much for making it easy to follow 😊
the camera necklace is such a slay tbh
Perfect! I am brand new to photography and I just got this camera a few weeks ago. You are right...I was one of those who was overwhelmed trying to learn it all as quickly as possible. Your video was exactly what I needed to help me gain confidence in learning the camera and to slow my learning pace so I can enjoy taking pictures and not get so easily frustrated. Thank you so much!
So glad I was able to help! Please let me know if you have any questions as you explore with your new camera! :)
Wow after trying to read the first 10 pages of the manual I had given up on this camera. But then I watched your video and made it sound doable. Easy to understand for me as a total beginner to this camera! Bravo and well done!!!
You should buy the manual produced by Graham Houghton
Graham Houghton's manual is excellent but it gives a lot of detail to remember. Heather is simpler. I'm a big fan of both, but I would have died if I hadn't seen Heather's walkthrough first.
I was given this camera as a present and I love your video tutorial. Thank-you so much for making this for us, so much better than only reading the manual! Will be watching your other videos as well.
Loved this video!! Just purchased this camera online a couple of days ago and I already feel like I know all the settings and how to use them before I even get my camera! I've even learnt a few new things too! Can't wait for the camera to arrive now, will check out your other video's in the meantime. Excellent video, thankyou!!
Great video and perfect explanations. Yours is the first video on this subject I could actuall sit through and follow. Thank you so much.
I just ordered this camera, excited to get it. Your demo is excellent!!!! I am sure I will refer o it many times.
My FZ80 is arriving in a couple of days and I thought I'd use the time to try and get familiar. Your tutorial is awesome and gives me the confidence I'm going to have fun with my new toy! I'm sure I'll view this a few more times. Thank you.
This video was exactly what I was looking for. I got this camera to take on a trip and have been trying to learn it. She walked me through all the questions I had. Great tutorial.
Great video, I leant a lot about this camera after watching your video. Heather, please do more videos like this lots of viewer like me will definitely benefit.
Thank you for going over all these things... I have been looking for something like this for my camera.. really good job and thank you 😊
You are my new hero, thank you for this much needed tutorial. My camera has been one the shelf for 2 years, now I have the knowledge and confidence to use it.
I just bought this FZ80. It is my first "real" camera as I needed one to photograph artwork for a new gallery. Definitely a step up from my cell phone! Thanks SO much for this simple and easy to understand introduction and tutorial. Now if I can just get the camera to recognize my office wi-fi I will be all set LOL
If you are trying to transfer images wirelessly to your PC that can definitely be a challenge! They haven’t quite nailed that yet, in comparison to transferring to a smart device. I would recommend just connecting it through the wire or a card reader, it will be a much faster transfer and you will get the full resolution every time. Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have any questions!
i was considering this camera, and your video helped me make an informed choice. Thank you!
This is the very best video I have found about the FZ80 which I have been using (sort of) for about a year. You are an excellent instructor and have taught me so much with just this one video. I look forward to learning more from you and hope you get more in depth with the Panasonic FZ80. I use my camera to take photos that I use to paint watercolor paintings. Your video explains every button and you even explain things that each buttons function means. Thank you so very much!!!
So glad I found you. You are so easy to understand the details. After 2 yrs of intermittent use and having to re-educate myself I had never seen anything about reformatting my sad card
Thank you!!!! So helpful. I've been struggling with this camera for much too long. I hope you have more videos on the Lumix FZ80.
Thank you! I just got it and it's my first camera so I was SO intimidated.
same!! how do you like it so far?
Thank you for taking the time to do this. I’ve pulled my FZ80 out of storage after 12 months, having been frustrated by not understanding some of its functionality properly. Time to start again!
What a great video about this wonderfull camera, iam just a beginner this is my first camera with so many features and i was very overwhelmd with the menu. I was finally able to set the menu in dutch because of your video, thank you !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I want to ask you how to get the pictures to my Iphone 11 Pro max, I hope you can help me with that. 👍🏻👍🏻
thank you! i just bought one some weeks ago and it is super cool!
Excellent video, you have a prodigious talent for teaching complex information in a clear, logical and understandable way. Thank you!
This is excellent and very helpful. I have recently bought an FZ72 and your walk-through of the menus is a useful guide for that camera also.
Thank you so much for an understandable (at my level) intro to this camera. What I really want to know now is how to take good macro shots, both getting up close or shooting from a distance and making it look like a macro shot, for example a butterfly shot from 15 feet.
Happy to help! Here is a video about the basics of macro photography and your camera does have a macro mode available by using the iA mode or changing the focusing mode yourself! Please let me know if you have any questions!

I love this camera you're talking about the zoom is amazing I got to have this camera there's no other like it. This would be an awesome travel camera to carry in my bag. I watched this video 4 times you convince me to buy this off Amazon. Heather I have more questions to ask you but they're closing the library so goodnight Ms. Heather
Love this video! You have really helped me a lot w this camera, which I received for Christmas. I thought I was never going to figure it out, so I'm glad I found you. Thank you for the great details.The only question I have is do you have a video for zooming? I have seen other videos and it seems like they can zoom so much farther than what I am able to do, but I am totally clueless on how to set this. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you so much. I've had this camera for about a year now and I realized only today how much I can do with it. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video. I bought my Lumix in Japan and the manual and all the camera settings are in Japanese. I knew this going in but thank the good Lord there are people like you who make this possible for me to still learn my camera. Great Job. Thank you so much. I’ll be referring back to this video many times. Thank you!
Arigato gozaimasu🙇🏻♀️🙏
I like to take pictures and I don't like a blurry background i want everything to be in focus how I do that
Control your F.
A F2.8 will be blurry on the back and a F5.0 will be less blurry but darker image So you use More ISO
Heather I'm writing you all the way from the Bahamas I heard about you from my brother. I need you to help me I want a camera and I love the full frame camera I love how wide the picture is. I don't need a aps-c sensor cause the crop sensor is alright but I love full frame and it's nice please help me find 3 lenses that I would need to buy to have. My brother said I need the tokina 14-20mm good for wide angle the 24-70mm and I want the 50mm and do I need a zoom
Hello John! Tokina lenses are inexpensive but I have found that I’ve never been happy with the autofocus ability, if there is any. Typically if you want to cover a wide range, the Holy Trinity as it is referred to would be the 16-35mm, the 24-70mm and the 70-200mm all 2.8. So if your set on 3 covering a wide range, that’s what I would go with.
@@Shutterbug101 hey heather how you're doing this is my big brother john and he wants to get into the camera game so i sent him to you. so you said the tokina is garbage lol. john i learn a lot from heather coming to this channel every chance i get. i'm getting me a full frame so you're making a great decision but i want me the 80d
@@Shutterbug101 that canon 16-35 is a great lens and it takes beautiful pictures but that price is ridiculous so you're better off using the tamron 17-35 and the 24-70 and the 50mm am I right heather
@@ad197833 yes I agree! There is also the Tamron 15-30 2.8 but I would really only recommend it for Milky Way shots or landscaping in low light otherwise the 17-35 will be perfect for everything else
@@Shutterbug101 the 17-35 is 600 dollars and i probably can find it cheaper on ebay or offer up so i will check them out
Thank you so much for this video...... I bought this camera a week ago to hopefully start experimenting with photography, I have been mind blown and over whelmed by the technology almost to the point of giving up hope. this video has helped me massively, very clear and easy to follow and more importantly and unlike some other videos, without the jargon.. Thanks again....👍👍👍👍
Excellent description of the features! The most useful thing to me was your comment that users can get so overwhelmed with what the camera can do, they get frustrated and are almost psyched out before they start. The Quick Menu is something that my wife and I will use as we are learning how to use it together. Loved your video, just the right level of detail to get started!
Good night Heather how you're doing i really need your help i bought a Canon 400d at a yard sale for 10 bucks and it takes wonderful pictures but i need you to guide me to a better lens so i can buy it for THAT camera. There's a 18-200 tamron lens on there but i want something better and i really need your help thanks
I would love to help! The 18-200 isn’t fantastic, but a good starter. What do you want to take photos of?
@@Shutterbug101 yes this is a great question cause i have the canon 450d and it didn't come with no lens i have to use my next door neighbor 18-55 kit lens on there i want something better as well
@@chiefbubba2581 you need the canon 50mm my grandfather said it takes wonderful pictures
@@Shutterbug101 please tell me if the tamron 18-200 is better than the 50mm or is it the other way around
The 50mm is better in low light, is faster focusing, and accomplishes the blurred background look for portraits well, while the 18-200 is really just good in the middle of the day and gives you a convenient range to work with, so it all depends. Quality wise, the 50mm is better.
A brilliant, clear video. Very easy to understand and get to know the camera.
This is the best tutorial on this camera. I purchased this a few years ago to get into photography but I did not understand how to use it. I have finally started taking a photography course, but it's not for my specific camera... so this has helped me so much, and I don't feel so discouraged now. Thank you!!
Hey, Shutterbug! You have NO IDEA how much you helped me with my Lumix! I HATE reading so I thought perhaps someone could show me. That someone is you! and you made a BIG difference in my life with my camera. THANKS!!!
Thank you so much. I got this camera on the recommendation from a friend. Good bang for buck type. I’m creative but not analytical. So great to watch this clear walk through of all its features.
HI Heather. Just wanted to let you know that I have recently purchased the FZ80 and I found your video very helpful. Not overly complicated and easier to understand than most. I also think you're very sweet in your offering to help out for things that are harder to understand. Unfortunately, I fall into that category so you may be hearing from me again in the not-too-distant future. Thanks a lot. 😊
Thank you for providing this instruction video! It was just what I needed to learn how to use and enjoy this camera.
Very informative. Just purchased this camera and will be re-watching once it arrives to learn the basics
THANK YOU a hundred times over. I was excited to get this camera, but I tried to jump right in using the menu. I was so frustrated I was ready to return it thinking it was far, far to difficult for me to use. But I gave it one more try searching for a TH-cam video that would help. Us seniors don't always think of using TH-cam first. Anyway, your video is a real blessing to me. I've taken notes and will go back following along and using the Q menu. I'll most likely need to reset the camera. I plan to follow your advice to move at a slower pace. Again, thanks!!
I’ve had this camera for over a year and have no idea how to use it ..so thank you so very much! Great video
Thank you so much for this video. I dug this camera out of my backpack.I only used it once, two years ago. I am going to take it out and try to use it to capture some Seagulls. People like you make our lives easier.
This woman just save my life 😅 bless you
This is the best explanation for how to use the FZ80 I have seen, It was worth watching the 30 minute video, It shames the owners manual and other videos I've watched. This is my first bridge camera after 39 years of film and digital Canon Cameras. It's a great complement to my DSLRs
I'm watching in 2022 and it looks like you have nearly 16K subscribers now. Seems like you're doing something right! Thank you!
Thank you so much! About a month ago i accidentally changed my AF area from single chip to custom and could find nothing in the menus to allow me to get it back. I couldn't even find it in the manual. Your explanation of QMenu did the trick!
Thank you so much for this video, it is very informative. I just got it two days ago and will be taking it step-by-step in little pieces as I learn to use it. Thank you very much, really appreciated!
A relative just gave me this camera. I was overwhelmed by the instructions. Thank you so much for your video tutorial. I learned so much from you. I just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Excellent video!! Thank you so much!! I purchased this camera in April and have been so intimidated to use it. Your video was so informative!
Excellent video: simple and crisp. Thanks. It hasn't yet sunk in well. I'll play with the camera and then I'll have doubts and questions. Thanks once again.
Thank you for your thorough and detailed product explanation. 🤙
Thank you! Somehow I got things out of whack without knowing what I had done. Thanks to your video I was able to 'reset' and now it's back to normal!
Just got this camera and can't thank you enough for the simplified walk through!
Yes well we gave our nearly 13 year old son this camera for Xmas.
Gotta say it is a little complicated for him and his dad too.
This video has really helped in its first few minutes in sorting why
my son ended up with 58 short videos and only 1 photo from our holiday.
The FN2 setting was enabled.
With the help of this lovely lady I think we will have some great photos and videos now.
Cheers.
Just bought this camera so thank you for your time and explanation!
Thank you Shutterbug 101. Your Walkthrough was a perfect presentation/demo to watch as I unboxed my new camera. I feel better about my decision to move on from my interchangeable lens Nikon to the convenience of the FZ80.
I love your video and I appreciate your in depth run through. Those of us operating on a budget need this kind of advice.
You are amazing. I found your other videos and just learned more about 4K and I will be watching every video you have done … thank you so much
thank you for simple, easy to understand information. much appreciated.
What a lovely clear video, thank you. As well as helping with my new FZ82, I also realised I was missing some things in my older TZ80 :-)
Best tutorial on Lumix FZ80, Thank you
Just got this camera and learning photography, this video was a great help, thank you so much.
Thanks so much for this walkthrough, I've just got one of these as my first camera and you've been a great help. 👍
Man, you really went through this in detail, thanks for the video.
Thank you for that video, great help. Look forward to watching some more. I've just purchased this camera and finding my way round it.
