GH2 Manual at DVinfo.net

I hope someone at Panasonic monitors this forum because I have an important question. Why do you have such a sorry piece of work for the GH2 manual? You have a great camera that I like very much but what a horrible manual! Don't you have any shame?

I find it most troubling and bothersome that it doesn't divide the manual into video and photo sections.

I agree that it is terrible. Every time I try and look something up the manual it just adds to the confusion. And the diagrams are microscopicaaly small. Using the online pdf manual makes things easier.

Guys, consider my English is limited, as non-native language and I have to use this manual as well... If it would be in Japanese it would make no significant difference to me, because the way it is written :)

Now that you point that out Waldi, it is actually hard to believe English is not your native language.

Chris Hurd · February 15th, 2011, 08:34 PM

Waldi, your English is better than some of my neighbors... no kidding.

You are very kind, thank you mates. Usually I perfectly understand what I read, but this GH2 manual made me confused so many times that I started to have doubts regarding my English skills...

Waldi, what part of Poland are you from? Half my family is in Zamosc. I learned Polish before English. Anyhow, most Americans are illiterate, so don't be surprised if your English skills surpass those of the natives. I lived in Amsterdam for a while, and it blew my mind how most of the people speak 4 languages perfectly. Their English was way better than a lot of peoples' I know.

I am from southern Poland, living now in NE Poland.
All right, lets stop it as we are going off topic ;)
