LUMIX LX100II -FIVE BEST settings

Here are my five favorite settings for the Panasonic Lumix LX100II. My Instagram: / sulantoblog

[@GrainAndPixels]

Thank you, I wish I had seen this video sooner! The Step Zoom and Lens Position Resume makes my LX100 so much quicker and better to use for street photography where I prefer a 50mm.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks.

[@mawavoy]

I am considering this camera, but have not pulled the trigger because I have some Olympus gear already. Your comments regarding the settings is logical and something a new owner might not consider. Thanks!

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks! It's a very nice camera.

[@pgulysse1]

A great tool for street photography. Hope the mark III will use the full M4/3 sensor size (with aspect ratio switch) for more MP, PDAF, same manual and retro controls (a Shutter Speed + ISO dial), a control dial & function button at the front if possible, a little bigger body to accommodate a tilt screen (not a fully articulated screen), IBIS if possible, Internal memory + SD card type II... Mic and headphones jacks if possible, ... A monochrome sensor version as well, why not?

I just got myself the LX100ii. I went thru the settings and even read a guide on how to do it but I really dont understand 3/4 of them or know what they do. If you can make a video and step thru all the settings , that would really be helpful. Or maybe just the important stuff like exposure, metering and focusing. Thank you

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks for you comment. That would be a long video, but I’ll think about it and see if it makes sense.

[@powerlink2000]

Excellent! Thanks for the hints!

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks.

[@LareinaP]

Love your reviews and your videos! Thank you for this help and advice and wonderful approach :)

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you.

[@davex142]

Nice video, Matti !!! Good job, thanks a lot !

[@rikstavale]

Kiitos Matti. I also live in Helsinki & just purchased a "new" lx100 ii. I appreciate your perspective so if you have other favorites, I'd like to know what they are.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. At the moment I don't have much new to the Lumix users but please feel free to browse my existing videos for more Lumix info.

[@ErezRikin]

Great recommendations ! THX

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you.

[@carlandersson4982]

Hej Matti. I'm buying this camera next month. And you were the one to tip the decision over to that!

[@mattisulanto]

I really hope you'll be happy with the camera😀

[@carlandersson4982]

@@mattisulanto Been shooting with my now, very old LX-3 and it is time to retire it. Will look on your videos and probably be asking some questions...

[@carlandersson4982]

Ended up buying GX9 instead. Found it with the 12-60 for under 7000 SEK. Couldn't convince myself to buy the LX100II with that in mind.

[@mattisulanto]

@@carlandersson4982 Hehheh, classic! At least you now have a proper system camera. Have fun!😀

[@carlandersson4982]

@@mattisulanto Yeah, have you made any videos of it or is it to close to the G9?

[@jackshen704]

Thanks for sharing!

[@innerlight7018]

Good, thx.

[@mattisulanto]

Thank you too!

[@bentaylor3984]

Hi Matti, I really loved this KZbin presentation..., BUT, I know that there were several sub-menus referred to, and since I am kind of new to Lumix gear, being a dedicated Olympus user, I need to know how you got to the items you highlight in "The 5 Best" settings. I found some by chance, but wasn't so successful with others. HELP!

[@mattisulanto]

May I suggest you take the camera user manual and learn the menu structure. It's a good idea to go through the menus anyway, because you may find many useful features.

[@bentaylor3984]

@@mattisulanto I bought the camera second hand with no manual. My WiFi was down so I couldn't download the manual until now...

[@mango_wm]

Thank you! Very useful.

[@tpar83]

Hahahaha. Your way of presenting the video is funny, but i liked it.

[@mawavoy]

[@LareinaP]

I love it too!!

[@HarveyWallbanger-ho2cq]

5 best settings for you perhaps

[@mattisulanto]

Of course😀

[@giuseppethesantis]

Sorry, someone can help me please? I need to know if its possible to use the directional back dial only for move the focus point and disable all the funtions that are applicate on the four directions, like iso, focus mode ecc.. cause i put those command to other customazible buttons and i really need to move my focus point non only with touch or using touch before. I cant figure it out, please help!

[@mattisulanto]

Please, take a look at the user's manual. I'm not a brand ambassador any more and I don't use the LX100II any more, so I can't help you.

[@janihonkala2238]

Oliko millä kuvattu tää video ku niin mukavan näköstä ja laatusta videota?

[@mattisulanto]

Tämä on kuvattu Olympus E-M1mk2 -kameralla.

[@AndreaBuondonno]

Best Focus Settings for City and Wedding Footage?

[@mattisulanto]

For photography I would use one area or face detection. I recommend you experiment and find out what works best for you.

[@thatsreallyamoon]

can you explain why 90% zebra and not 100% zebra?

[@mattisulanto]

90% leaves you some more high light detail than 100%. You can use 100% too and if you own the camera, please try which setting works for you.

[@thatsreallyamoon]

@@mattisulanto okay thanks. yeah I'll be adding it to my collection today. It's crazy how I own the S5 and A7c, both with great lenses, but there's some weird attraction and fun I have with the tiny MFT systems, so I decided to buy the LX100ii :D

[@bentaylor3984]

So you don't know how to accept an apology. My capitals were not intended to shout. So can we just move on and take my criticism as Friendly..?

[@mattisulanto]

Now that I know you are apologizing I accept, of course.

[@richardgonet5725]

JUST SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR MEDS

[@rsmallenberg]

You have no idea how much tip 4 helps me. I shoot left eye dominant and I was constantly changing the focus location with my nose. FN4 is now set to operation lock. Thanks Matti!! Do you have a list of all of your settings? I'm always curious about others' suggestions for setup. I've seen a number of lists for the original LX 100 but not the LX 100 II.

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks. So happy my tips help.

[@toscana6457]

Thank you. Your videos are so precise & get to the point with no flannel.

[@mattisulanto]

Many thanks.

[@bentaylor3984]

i DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM WITH SIMPLY MAKING BLOG COMPLETE BY SHOWING HOW YOU NAVIGATED TO THOSE SUB MENUS? OTHER WISE WHAT'S THE USE.??

[@mattisulanto]

Please, no need to shout at me. It's the same thing if you take your camera and start navigating through each menu. At the same you'll learn the menus and learn how you camera works. If you want to get to know your camera, please do it. That's what I do every time I get a new camera.

[@ChangeTomorrow]

Thanks, Matti, very helpful, as usual

[@mattisulanto]

Thanks.

[@TresoBox]

My setting Fn1=Metering mode, Fn4=follow your Lock setting, Control Ring for ISO setting

What is the temp range you use the LX-100ii in?

[@mattisulanto]

When I had the LX100II I used it in temperatures between -15 - +30 C.
