Lumix TZ80 tutorial other than Youtube

Hi all,

My turn to ask for help. For travel (with electronic restrictions) I purchased a Lumix TZ80. Panasonic offers an instruction book that is more than 250 pages. I know, for I've printed it out. Lawyer please!

If I google Youtube for this camera, I see "unpacking" instructions. I don't need video, but do you know of a website that might offer a tutorial on use the TZ80?

There are two different TZ80 manual versions - the basic and the advanced. The basic is only 64 pages. When printing, you can skip the pages that you think you don't need. Pages about optional accessories, for example.

Did you try a youtube search. Sometimes you can get some really good video info from youtube.

As I mentioned, I've tried all the Youtube searches and found 35 different way to unpack a TZ80 and insert the battery. Youtube will not be the place. And mine is the advanced version.

AFAIK, the ZS60 and TZ80 are the same except for intended country.

Would a cheap book help? https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-ZS60-Beginners/dp/153082589X

Other than that, between my DW and I we have several Panasonics and the menu systems are all similar. If you have questions, ask away!!

Thank you for the book suggestion. I've bought both, the ZS60 and the TZ80, both from Amazon. All intro stuff. And relative to the country or origin, I actually bought two of these, one from Amazon.com and one from Amazon.co.uk. You are right, they are different. And thank you for your offer to help.
