So I've upgraded from a Panasonic Lumix FS28 to a FX77. They were both purchased from a cash generator shop, second hand obviously. I didn't get a disc with either of them.

The 77 has Full HD & 3D. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to suss the damned thing out but to no avail

Does modern technology phase you

or are you a complete geek?

Any useful tips or information gratefully received

Go and Google it and find the complete instructions on line. There is no shame in reading the instruction manual. I'm dating a professional photographer & I think you need a degree to understand his cameras. xx

If it was me I would do a factory reset (Usually an option under settings) This way you are starting as if it was a new camera out of the box

Enjoy

That doesn't appear to work and the ones I've tried are not much help either, they tell you all sorts of bollox about things which you don't really need to know immediately.

Until you are conversant with the basic task of taking, viewing & deleting pictures, oh and how to use the flash or timer

God, I'm useless aren't I

Anyone wanna buy a camera

I don't think I could type everything that is causing me grief as regards the operational procedures of my newly purchased item.

Even Minxie used it's predecessor without any problems

near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

I reckon you`re finding out why it was put in the shop in the first place!

I bought a NCB Powercab controller for my model railway because it`s the proverbial dogs bits .... or supposed to be!

Main trouble for me is the instructions are for the U.S. market, it is a U.S. made machine after all but it`s the same of joke about two countries being divided by a common language!

I bought myself a new camera last week, one of these smart ones, ive read the manual and still cant get my head around it, so ive put it back in the box untouched, what happened to polaroid cameras, so much easier to use lol
