Lumix FZ200 rear wheel malfunction

Post by peterc »

I have a problem with my Lumix FZ200 camera. The rear wheel button does not work when being pushed in to change aperture to exposure setting. Trying to photograph bright or white objects is difficult when I would normally adjust the exposure setting lower.

Has anyone here experienced this problem and is there a way round it without having to buy the part or sending it in for repair?

Hi Peter,

You can use the Q menu button to change the exposure or aperture values.

Press the Q menu button which will show either exposure value/aperture, and use the left-right centre buttons to highlight which you want to change. Then press the centre menu/set button and you can then adjust either the exposure compensation or the aperture settings.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, Mike.

I had forgotten all about the Quick-menu function button. In fact, I don't think I have ever used it since the first day I acquired the camera :) .
