In addition to describing the basic operations of the camera, the book introduces topics such as infrared photography and street photography. It also discusses accessories for the camera. The book has a full table of contents and an eleven-page index. Besides the paperback edition, the guide is available in a PDF version that can be downloaded immediately.

At the Panasonic web site, you can download the update to firmware version 2.2 or the official instruction manual.
I noticed that the official Panasonic manual for the LX7 is incomplete for cropping. Page 176 of the PDF introduces cropping, then skips vital steps before moving on to how to complete the cropping. I plan to purchase the White LX7 Manual.
