Camera-Specific Tips

- The Lumix DC-G9's electronic viewfinder (EVF) offers a live histogram overlay, allowing you to see exposure levels in real-time. This feature helps you make precise adjustments to your settings before capturing the shot.
- Take advantage of the customizable function buttons on the Lumix DC-G9 to quickly access your most-used settings. Assign functions like focus peaking or histogram display to these buttons for faster adjustments.
