Q&A Troubleshooting
GPS (continued) DMC-ZS20
Positioning takes time.
●When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several minutes.
●Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the “GPS Assist Tool”. (→141)
●Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS satellites. (→128)
The location name information is different from the recording location.
●Immediately after the camera’s power is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than
, the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly from the current position.
●When is displayed for the location name information, the information can be changed to a different candidate before starting to record. (→136)
●You can edit a place name or landmark name recorded in a picture.
The location name information is not displayed.
●“- -
→During playback, a location name or other information can be entered with [Edit Place Name]. (→139)
Map
Cannot display detailed maps.
●Use the “LUMIX Map Tool” software on the DVD (supplied) to copy map data from the DVD. (→150)
It takes time to copy the map data.
●Since the map data size is large, it may take time to copy the map data. We recommend copying the map data of a required area only.
●When you copy map data by connecting the camera to the computer, it may take longer than the time required for copying the data using the commercially available card reader/writer.
Recording
Cannot record pictures.
●REC/PLAY switch is not set to (record).
●
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 (→6).
Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark.
●Adjust the exposure (→71).
●[Min. Shtr Speed] is set to fast speed. Check the setting (→102).
Some pictures are taken when I press the shutter button just once.
●Camera is set to use [Auto Bracket] or [Burst].
