Panasonic DMCLZ3S Recording Picture cannot be recorded, Recorded picture is too bright or dark

Others

–Replace them with batteries which have sufficient capacity. (When you use Ni-MH batteries, charge them.)

–If you leave the camera on, the batteries will be exhausted. Turn the camera off frequently by using power save mode (P22), economy mode (P22), etc.

∫Recording

1:The picture cannot be recorded.

•Is the mode dial correctly set?

•Is there any memory remaining on the built-in memory or the card?

–Before recording, delete some pictures. (P34)

2:The recorded picture is whitish. The lens is dirty.

•The picture can become whitish if there is dirt e.g. fingerprints on the lens. If the lens is dirty, turn on the camera, eject the lens barrel (P10) and gently wipe the lens surface with a soft dry cloth.

3:The recorded picture is too bright or dark.

•Check that the exposure is correctly compensated. (P43)

4:The subject is not focused properly.

•The focus range varies depending on the recording mode.

Rotate the mode dial to set the proper mode for the distance to the subject.

•Is the subject beyond the focus range of the camera? (P25)

•Have you taken a picture with jitter?

5:The recorded picture is blurred. The optical image stabilizer is not effective.

•The shutter speed will become slower and the optical image stabilizer function may not work properly when taking pictures especially in dark places. In this case, we recommend holding the camera firmly with both hands when taking pictures. (P25) When

[SLOW SHUTTER] (P67) is set, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P42) when taking pictures.

6:The recorded picture looks rough. Noise appears on the picture.

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

(ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO] when the camera is shipped. Therefore, when taking pictures indoors etc. the ISO sensitivity increases.)

–Decrease the ISO sensitivity. (P63)

–Set [PICT.ADJ.] to [NATURAL]. (P68)

–Take pictures in bright places.

•In [HIGH SENS.] (P55) in scene mode, the resolution of the recorded picture decreases slightly because of high sensitivity processing.

This is not a malfunction.

7:Motion picture recording stops in the middle.

•Are you using a MultiMediaCard?

–This unit does not support MultiMediaCards.

•We recommend using a high speed SD Memory Card with “10MB/s” or greater displayed on the package when you set the picture quality to [30fpsVGA].

•Depending on the type of SD Memory Card, recording may stop in the middle.

∫LCD monitor

1:The LCD monitor is turned off sometimes when the camera is turned on.

•Is the LCD monitor turned off soon after you take pictures with the flash?

–While the flash is being charged, the LCD monitor is turned off.

2:The LCD monitor becomes darker or brighter for a moment.

•This phenomenon appears when you press the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value and does not affect the recorded pictures.
