Panasonic DMC-TZ55 operating instructions AF Assist Lamp, Flash setting is fixed to Πexcept for

Recording

•Depending on the operating conditions, it may take time to take the next picture if you repeat the recording of pictures.

•It may take time to save pictures taken in Burst Mode on the card. If you take pictures continuously while saving, the maximum number of recordable pictures decreases. For continuous shooting, use of a high speed memory card is recommended.

•The burst speed (pictures/second) may become slower depending on the recording environment such as in dark places, if the ISO sensitivity is high, etc.

•When [ ] is set, focus prediction will be performed in a possible range to prioritise the burst speed. Therefore, if you try to take a picture of a subject that is moving fast, it may have trouble with focusing or it may take time to focus.

•When [ 10 ] is set, the recording may be brighter or darker from the second picture depending on changes in the brightness of the subject.

•This function is not available in the following cases:

–When using Auto Bracket

–In Self Shot Mode

–[Handheld Night Shot]/[HDR]/[Starry Sky] (Scene Mode)

–[Toy Effect]/[Miniature Effect]/[Soft Focus]/[Star Filter] (Creative Control Mode)

•When the Self-Timer is used, the number of recordable pictures in Burst Mode is fixed to 3. (5 pictures in [ ])

•The flash setting is fixed to [Œ] (except for [ ]).

[AF Assist Lamp]

AF assist lamp will illuminate the subject when the shutter button is pressed halfway, making it easier for the camera to focus when recording in low light conditions.
