A practical guide to the Lumix LX3’s controls and updated features

Centered on the Panasonic Lumix LX3, this camera-specific manual explains how to use both its automatic settings and manual controls. Color photographs and illustrations support coverage of the camera’s functions and operation, with attention to features added through firmware version 2.0, including white-balance bracketing, a 1:1 aspect ratio, and lens resume. Because the LX3 and Leica D-Lux 4 share much of the same functionality, the guide also addresses the latest firmware-equipped versions of Leica’s related compact camera. The emphasis is on applying the camera’s available settings to photographic results, not on general photography theory alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Panasonic Lumix LX3 owners who want help using automatic and manual settings
  • Leica D-Lux 4 users with firmware version 2.0
  • Photographers seeking an illustrated, model-specific camera reference

Book overview

Photographer's Guide to the Panasonic Lumix LX3: Getting the Most from Panasonic's Versatile Digital Camera is a follow-up to the author's well-received guide to a very similar camera, the Leica D-Lux 4. This new guidebook covers all features and operations of the LX3, one of the most highly esteemed compact digital cameras of recent years. In 232 pages, with numerous color photographs and illustrations, the book explains in plain language how to achieve the best possible results taking pictures with the automatic or manual controls of the LX3. Although much of the information in this book is similar to that in the earlier book about the Leica D-Lux 4 camera, this new volume is updated to include several new features that were added to both cameras when their internal firmware (operating system) was upgraded to version 2.0. These new features include white balance bracketing, 1:1 aspect ratio, lens resume, and several others. Therefore, the book will be useful to users of the latest versions of both the Panasonic Lumix LX3 and the Leica D-Lux 4.
