Coming from a Sony 17r user, i keep mistaking the Wide-Tele zoom button for the on-off button. haha.
Btw, after i have used the zoom assist to magnify and confirm the focus, how do i remove it from view (apart from pressing the shutter button to take the picture)? Thanks

the lens cap for lumix is 30+ - 40 if i rem correctly, check back a few pages on this thread.
battery original ones cost more, 60-80+ i think. same batteries as some of the lumix series like GX7 GF6 if i recall correctly.
Got the silver auto lens cap at SLRR at funan for $33 On the 13 Jan. No stock for the black ones on that day.

Is that the new leatherette? Look much better with leatherette.

I suggest consider the original battery once and for all. Third party battery usually can't hold charge and drain off fast if kept unused, taking much lesser shots and some say will experience sudden death.
Otherwise, you can also consider the smaller capacity BLE9 which produce fewer shots and is priced lower than the BLG10.

Interested in going with you to a civilisied place? Kekeke..
My 3rd party batt for Nikon died when I didn't use it for long time, I think the charge totally depleted. Even so, buying another one is still much cheaper.
Taken with iphone.
Just came back from funan. Some shops u can bargain the black auto lens cap until $40. Screen protector $8. Original battery I know slr revo sells $35, 3rd party $9.
Slr revo still no stock for black auto cap. Otherwise silver is $33.
Also bought 3rd party charger $17, can buy additional brackets for different brands of cameras @$5. High speed charging at 1000mAH output. This is twice the charging speed of original charger.

By the way, there are a couple of things I would like to seek advice.
1. Do you find the charger taking too long to charge a battery? If you go on an overseas trip, how many batteries do you bring along and how were you able to recharge all of them in a night? I doubt you would set an alarm just to replace the batteries from the charger in the middle of the night, do you?
2. Do you set your focus mode to AF, AF macro or MF for most of the time? I just realised that AF macro can also be used for tele. Hence, would you agree that it can be the default mode for overall convenience?
3. How do you activate the panorama feature and is there a shortcut I can assign it to quick menu or a button?
4. Wondering most of you use a neck strap or a wrist strap or nothing on the LX100?
5. Any idea how to do a continuous face-detection focus mounted on monopod / selfie stick? My experience yesterday was not great. FIrst, I mounted it on the monopod and set to 2 sec delay shutter with face-detection focus . Then I turn it around, pointing towards my face, press shutter, lift up monopod away from me and it took a picture after 2 sec. When done, I realised that the focus was off. The choice for delayed shutter was not great, either 2 sec to take 1 picture or wait 10 sec to take 1 or 3 pictures. Just wondering what are the workarounds for taking selfie on this camera.
6. 1 battery can last u how long for overseas trip? 3 batteries u think enough? Charge daily at night in hotel.
Thanks in advance.
