∫Playback

1:Pictures being played are rotated and displayed in an unexpected direction. The camera has a function to automatically rotate and display pictures recorded by holding the camera vertically.

(If you take pictures aiming the camera up or down, the camera may recognise that it is held vertically.)

•When [ROTATE DISP.] (P80) is set to [OFF], you can display the pictures without being rotated.

•You can rotate pictures with [ROTATE] function. (P81)

2:The picture is not played back.

•Is the mode dial set to playback [ ]?

•Is the card inserted?

•Is there a picture in the card?

3:The picture played back looks rough. Noise appears on the picture.

•Is the ISO sensitivity is high or is the shutter speed slow?

–Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P68)

–Set [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P75)

–Take pictures in bright places.

4:The folder number and the file number are displayed as [—] and the screen may turn black.

•Is the picture edited with a PC or recorded with the digital camera other than Panasonic?

This may also result if the battery is removed immediately after recording or by recording with the exhausted battery.

–In order to delete the pictures mentioned above, format the data. (P90) (Once formatted, all the data including the other pictures cannot be restored. Confirm carefully to format.)

∫TV, PC and printer

1:The picture does not appear on the television.

•Is the camera connected to the TV correctly?

•Set the TV input to external input mode.

2:The display areas on the TV screen and the camera’s LCD monitor are different. With some TV models, the area display is smaller so the top and bottom or left and right of the picture may appear cut off when the picture is displayed. This is not a malfunction.

3:When connecting to a PC, pictures cannot be transferred.

•Is the camera connected to the PC correctly?

•Is the camera recognised by the PC correctly?

•Set [USB MODE] to [PC]. (P92)

4:The card is not recognised by the PC.

•Disconnect the USB connection cable and then connect it again with the card inserted into the camera.

5:The pictures cannot be printed with the camera connected to printers.

•Is the printer supporting PictBridge?

–You cannot print pictures with printers which do not support PictBridge. (P95)

•Set [USB MODE] to [PictBridge (PTP)]. (P92)

6:The ends of the pictures are cut at printing.

•When using the printer with a trimming feature or other feature which cuts out both edges of the pictures, cancel the feature for printing. The feature depends on the printer used. (Refer to the operating instructions of the printer for details.)

•When you order photo studios to print pictures, ask the photo studio if the pictures can be printed with both ends.
