Ok I was given this camera and I'm still in the learning mode with it

Panasonic DMC-FZ50
10.1-megapixel high resolution CCD
LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 12x optical zoom (35-420mm equiv.)
MEGA O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer) system
Venus Engine III processor
Full photographic control
2.0-inch flip-out 207k high resolution LCD
High resolution electronic viewfinder
Fast startup and operation
TTL Flash hot-shoe



On thing that bugs me is the fact that when you shoot a pic it pops up a preview of the shot in the eypiece which makes shooting action shots next to impossible. anyway to turn it off? and yes I'm RTFM

I don't think I've ever seen a camera where you couldn't turn off the image review.

Just poke around in your settings menus instead of piling through the manual.

Found this:



Turn off "Auto Review."

Thanks, once I knew what I was looking for it was still a pain to find. it's in a sub, sub menu.

This camera has so many damn setting that it is going to take a while for me to just say oh yeah I need to set it to this for doing this in these conditions...life was much simpler with my old SLR
