•Adjust the focus after adjusting the zoom.

• Do not block the lens barrel (P.12) movement while zooming.

•Zoom cannot be adjusted during motion picture recording.

9 A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of

close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing around the outlines of objects.

•The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated - this

is not a fault.

• When using extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near maximum W (lx), but this is not a fault.

• The Optical image stabilizer may be less effective when using digital zoom, it is recommended that you use a tripod and the self-timer (P.35).

FAQ

Which cards can I use?

#See (P.15) for types, and (P.92) for recording

capacities.

Using Panasonic cards is recommended.

How can I easily send pictures to my computer?

• Connect the camera to your computer using the supplied USB cable (P.74) to copy (drag & drop) picture files to your computer hard disk. (You can also use the supplied software ‘LUMIX Simple Viewer.)

• Use a USB reader-writer.

Pictures appear dark or have poor coloring

Adjusr the exposure (P.38).

Use W BALANCE to adjust the coloring. (e.g. Use 'AWB for fluorescent lighting and -,Ocfor mcandescent lighting.)

If this is still insufficient, try ‘Setting white balance manually iSset’ (P.50).

How do I get the date printed?

• Use DATE STAMP before printing (P.66). (Do not make date printing settings.)

• In shop: Make DPOF settings (P.68), and request printing ‘with dates’.

•With printer: Make DPOF settings (P.68), and use a printer compatible with date printing.

•With supplied software (P.11): Select ‘with dates’ within print settings.

Try checking these items (P.84-89) first. (Restoring menu settings to default values may solve certain problems.

Try using ‘RESET’ in SETUP menu (P.22).)

Camera does not work even if power is turned on.

• Battery is not inserted correctly (P.15). or needs recharging {P.14).

LCD monitor shuts off even if power is turned on.

• Camera is set to ‘POWER SAVE’ or ‘ECONOMY’ (P.20). ^ Press shutter button halfway to release.

• Battery needs recharging (P.14).

Camera switches off as soon as power is turned on.

Batteiy needs recharging (P.14). Camera is set to ‘POWER SAVE’ (P.20). Camera was left with power on (battery needs recharging).

> Use POWER SAVE’ or ‘ECONOMY’ (P.20).

■

Cannot reco-ci pictures.

Mode dial is not set to a recording mode. Buiit-in memory/card is full. > Free space by deleting unwanted pictures (P.32).

Recorded pictures look white.

Lens IS dirty (fingerprints, etc). —► Turn on power to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth. Lens IS foggy (P.10).

Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark.

Pictures taken in dark locations, or bright subjects (snow, bright conditions, etc) occupy most of the screen. (Brightness of LCD monitor may differ from that of actual picture) > Adjust the exposure (P38).

2-3 pictures are taken when I press the shutter button just once.

•Camera set to use ‘AUTO BRACKET’ (DMC-TZ3 only) or ‘BURST’ in REC menu.

Focus not aligned correctly.

#Not set to mode appropriate for distance to subject. (Focus range varies according to

recording mode.)

•Subject outside of focus range.

• Caused by jitter or subject movement (P.39, 46).

Recorded pictures are blurred. Optical image stabilizer ineffective.

•..Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and Optical image stabilizer is less effective. ► Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body (P24).

• Use a tripod and the self-timer (P.35) when using ‘SLOW SHUTTER’ (P.56).

Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.

• ISO sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is iow. {Defauit SENSITIVITY setting is ‘AUTO’ - interference may appear with indoor pictures.)

> Lower ‘SENSITIVITY’ (P.51). > Set ‘COL. MODE’ to ‘NATURAL’ {P.57) > Take pictures in brighter locations.

• Camera set to ‘HIGH SENS.’ scene mode (P.44). (Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)

Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.

•Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault.

Reddish vertical line (smear) appears during recording.

#This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains

brighter areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. (This will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.)

Camera may become warm if used for long periods of time, but this is not a fault.

■ To avoid jitter, use a tripod and piace in a stable location. {Especially when using telescopic zoom, lower shutter speeds, or self-timer)

Keep the camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such

as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

»if you use the camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the camera

may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

»Do not use the camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise

adversely affecting the pictures and sound.

»Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic

fields created by speakers or large motors.

»Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect

the camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

• if the camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor (DIVIW-AC5PP; optional). Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the camera on.

Do not use the camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

• If you record near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

#Do not extend the supplied cord or cable.

• Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

• Only use files from other devices if compatible with Design Rule for Camera File system (Pictures are based on DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) and Exit (Exchangeable Image File Format) standards, by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA)}.

Cannq lui

• Disconnect battery/AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP, sold separately).

• Do not use benzene, thinners, alcohol, kitchen detergent, or chemically treated cloth (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).

'»Wipe away dust or fingerprints with soft, dry cloth. Clear stubborn stains or rain/sea

water stains with a thoroughly wrung cloth, before wiping with a dry cloth.

• Remove battery and card (ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage through over-discharge).

• Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.

• Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in cool (15 “C-25 °C (59 “F-77 °F)) places with low humidity (40 %-60 %) and no major temperature changes.

• Charge battery once per year and use completely once before storing again.

•To prevent damage to cards and data «Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static

electricity. *Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts. ®Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.

#When disposing of/transferring memory cards

«If using the ‘format’ or ‘delete’ functions on your camera or computer, this only

changed the file management information, and does not completely delete the data

from Within the memory card. When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the memory card itself, or using commercially

available computer data erasing software to completely delete the data from the

card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.

B.ittery

■ Store battery in battery carrying case after use.

■ 'Do not use if damaged or dented (especially connectors), e.g. by dropping (can cause faults).

■ The unusable battery should be discarded in accordance with battery recycling laws. Call the RBRC hotline at 1-800 822-8837 for information.
