•If you copy picture data from the built-in memory to a card, the screen automatically returns to the playback screen when all the pictures are copied.

•If you copy picture data from the built-in memory to a card, we recommend using a card which has more free space than the built-in memory (about 13 MB).

•It may take time to copy the picture data.

•Only pictures recorded with a Panasonic digital camera (LUMIX) will be copied. (Even if the pictures were recorded with a Panasonic digital camera, you may not be able to copy them if they were edited with a PC.)

•DPOF settings on the original picture data will not be copied. Set the DPOF settings again after copying is finished. (P99)

•If a picture with the same name as the picture to be copied exists in the copy destination, the picture will not be copied.

•If you copy picture data from the built-in memory to a card which does not have sufficient free space, the picture data will only be copied halfway.

•You can also use the joystick for these operations.

•If you press [MENU/SET] while formatting the built-in memory, the formatting will stop halfway. (However, all the pictures will be deleted.)

•Once the card is formatted, all data including protected images are irretrievably erased. Please confirm that all data is transferred to your PC before proceeding with format function.

•If the card has been formatted on a PC or other equipment, format it on the camera again.

•When you format the card, use a battery with sufficient battery power (P14) or AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; optional).

•During formatting, do not turn the camera off.

•It may take longer to format the built-in memory than the card. (Max. about 15 sec.)

•Sliding the Write-Protect switch of the SD Memory Card or the SDHC Memory Card to [LOCK] prevents formatting. (P18)

•If the built-in memory or the card cannot be formatted, consult your nearest servicenter.
