Ed, I have read about your gear. The camera comes from the golden era of the digital photography (that is, when the photography enthusiasts were using cameras not smartphones). A lightweight mirrorless camera with the optical sensor stabilization from the times Canon or Nikon still thought it was the lens that should be stabilized! I encourage you taking that camera on your rides!
The Long Market, Gdańsk, Poland
Besides, Panasonic was a strong photography company then. My gf
@Brix (in London) owns a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000, which is a compact camera with an impressive Leica zoom lens. A fun fact is Panasonic was packing exactly the same camera into a body with the famous red dot, which was sold as a Leica at a way higher price
While Ewa now prefers using her Samsung S24 Ultra for photos, she carries her Lumix for our vacation trips to a good effect.

That was a memorable vacation! We did a trip in Poland, Czech Republic, East Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and back to Poland. I had my Pentax on the trip. However -- shame on me -- I lost the memory card when we were by the end of the trip! Meaning, all photos we had were taken with the Lumix!
