Conditions under which a different folder number is used

In the following cases, the picture is not recorded in the same folder as the previously recorded picture. It is recorded in a folder with a new number.

1When the folder just recorded to

contains a picture file with the number 999 in it (example: P1000999.JPG).

2When the card just recorded to contains, for example, a folder with the number 100 [100_PANA] in it and that card is removed and replaced with a card that has a folder with the number 100 in it recorded by a camera from a different maker (100XXXXX, with

XXXXXbeing the name of the maker) and then a picture is recorded.

3When recording after selecting [NO.RESET] from the [SETUP] menu. (Pictures will be recorded to a new folder with a number sequential to the folder recorded to immediately before. By using [NO.RESET] on a card that does not contain folders or pictures, such as one just formatted, the folder number can be reset to 100.)

About the PTP connection If the OS is “Windows XP”, “Windows Vista” or “Mac OS X”, you can

connect in PTP mode if you set the camera

to [ ] mode and then connect to your PC.

Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.

Do not disconnect the USB connection cable while [ACCESS] is displayed.

When there are many pictures on the built-in memory or the card, it may take some time to transfer them.

You may not be able to play back motion pictures on the built-in memory or the card

DMCFZ18, DMCFZ18K specifications

The Panasonic DMC-FZ18K and DMC-FZ18 are advanced digital cameras known for their impressive blend of versatility and user-friendly features. Released by Panasonic as part of their Lumix series, these models have become popular among both amateur photographers and enthusiasts looking to capture high-quality images without the complexities of professional-grade DSLRs.

One of the standout features of the DMC-FZ18 is its powerful 18x optical zoom lens. This lens provides a focal length equivalent to 28mm to 504mm in 35mm terms, allowing for remarkable flexibility in capturing subjects from wide-angle landscapes to distant wildlife. This extensive zoom range is complemented by the Intelligent Image Stabilization technology that helps to reduce the effects of camera shake, ensuring sharp and clear images even at full zoom.

This sensor is paired with Panasonic's advanced image processing technology, which enhances the overall image quality and ensures vibrant colors and contrast. The camera also features a variety of shooting modes, including Intelligent Auto, which allows for quick and easy adjustments to settings like exposure and focus. This mode is particularly useful for photographers who want to capture great shots without manually adjusting every setting.

Another notable technology in the DMC-FZ18 is its Venus Engine 3, which enhances image processing speed and performance. This engine allows for quick burst shooting, making it easier to capture fast-moving subjects. Additionally, the camera features a high-resolution, tiltable LCD screen that provides flexibility in composing shots from different angles while also making it easy to review images.
