Connecting to a PC

You can acquire recorded pictures to a PC by connecting the camera and the PC.

Some PCs can read directly from the card removed from the camera. For details, refer to the operating instructions of your PC.

If the computer being used does not support SDXC Memory Cards, a message prompting you to format may appear. (Doing so will cause recorded images to be erased so do not choose to format.)

If the card is not recognized, please refer to the below support site. http://panasonic.net/avc/sdcard/information/SDXC.html

You can easily print out or mail the pictures you have imported. Use of the “PHOTOfunSTUDIO” bundled software on the CD-ROM (supplied) is a convenient way of doing this.

Read the separate instructions for the supplied software for more information about the software in the CD-ROM (supplied) and how to install it.
