Cameras

By coincidence I have the same camera. Or a very similar model.

You need to download the advanced owners manual from Panasonic's web site: https://help.na.panasonic.com/camera-ca ... /dmc-zs10/

I think the page you want is page 95. If not word-search on date and you'll find all the places in the manual that address date and time stamps.

I found page 95 but it doesn't help me know where to find "settings" and this particular setting.

My daughter has the camera so I can't mess with it in person. Sorry. I haven't actually used it in years.

I finally figured it out. I needed to be in P MODE to make these changes.

The only thing I will say, it to avoid software zoom at all costs. Insist on one with optical zoom.

Yes, the software zoom doesn't do anything better than cropping and enlarging the size of your image with your software.

I was given a 60x optical zoom Nicon. Nice, but no viewfinder, just the big back screen that can't be seen in full daylight. Look for a viewfinder you can put your eye up to and see what you are doing when it is bright out.

Use of software zoom made a 5000$ leica with a Zeiss lens look worse than a <1000$ Pentax with a “kit” lens, using optical zoom. Had my brother in law scratching his head.
