Just takes a little practise to improve your shooting. It's digital so don't be shy about taking lots of shots and comparing them. Shoot a couple, then review and then shoot more.

Get familiar with using your camera in manual mode. That means:
1. selecting your focus point on the touch screen and using single point focus
2. learn the 3 variables in controlling exposure, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Use this DSLR simulator as a guideline

Lastly, since you'll be shooting a lot, get extra batteries from Amazon.

The Panasonic has some cool features for high speed photography such as extracting 4k photos from video, high speed burst and more. There's also a zoom mode in camera but it's really just a trick on cropping the image.

Here's a pretty good deal on Photoshop Elements 2021 for $70 or you could look for a cheaper alternative. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ad...%3Aoverviewtab
