Checking the effects of the aperture value and shutter speed
(Preview Mode)
Recording mode:
• Checking the effect of the selected aperture value: This enables you to check the
depth of field (focus range) by physically narrowing the lens aperture blades to the
aperture value used for the actual recording.
• Checking the effect of the selected shutter speed: This allows you to check motion
in a scene by displaying the screen at the shutter speed used for the actual recording.

Do you have a question about the Lumix DC-ZS200 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
a take a photo with the dial set at P, push shutter and screen says "recording in Post focus" what does that mean? All I want is a single frame, not a movie.
On the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200, "recording in Post Focus" means the camera captures multiple images at different focus points when the shutter is pressed. You can then select and save the desired focus point later during playback. This feature is available when the mode dial is set to P (Program) and [Post Focus] is selected in the drive mode.
