 LCD monitor may dim if continuing motion picture recording for long periods.

 Camera set to ‘AUTO LCD OFF’ (P.23).

 After recording, monitor shuts off until next picture can be recorded. (Approx. 6 

seconds (Max.) when recording to the built-in memory)

 Aperture value is set while shutter button is pressed halfway.

  (Does not affect recorded picture.)
Monitor flickers indoors.

 Monitor may flicker after turning on (prevents influence from fluorescent lighting).

 Adjust ‘MONITOR’ setting (P.21).

 Camera set to ‘LCD MODE’ (P.22).

 This is not a fault, and will not be recorded on the actual pictures, so there is no need 

to worry.

 Current date, ‘TRAVEL DATE’ (P.67), and ages in ‘BABY’ and ‘PET’ (P.55) scene 

modes are only displayed for approx. 5 sec. after start-up, setting changes, or mode 

changes. They cannot be always displayed.

 Flash set to ‘FORCED FLASH OFF  ’ (P.43).

 When set to ‘AUTO 

’, flash may not be emitted in certain conditions.

 Flash cannot be emitted in the ‘SCENERY’, ‘PANORAMA ASSIST’, ‘NIGHT 

SCENERY’, ‘SUNSET’, ‘HI-SPEED BURST’, ‘FIREWORKS’, ‘STARRY SKY’, and 

‘AERIAL PHOTO’ scene modes, or when using ‘AUTO BRACKET’ or ‘BURST’.

 No flash is emitted when recording a motion picture.

 Red-eye reduction is active (P.43). (Flashes twice to prevent eyes appearing red.)

 The scene mode is set to ‘FLASH BURST’.

  ‘ROTATE DISP.’ is set to ‘ON’.

  (Automatically rotates pictures from portrait to landscape. Some pictures taken facing 

up or facing down may be interpreted as being portrait.)

  →  Set ‘ROTATE DISP.’ to ‘OFF’.

 REC/PLAY switch is not set to 

 (play).

 No pictures in built-in memory or card (pictures played from card if inserted, from built-

in memory if not).

 Camera set to ‘CATEGORY PLAY’ or ‘FAVORITE PLAY’.

  →  Set playback mode to ‘NORMAL PLAY’ (P.85).
Folder/file number displayed as ‘-’. Picture is black.

 Picture edited on computer or taken on different device.

 Battery removed immediately after picture taken, or picture taken with low battery.

  →  Use ‘FORMAT’ to delete (P.26).
Incorrect date displayed in calendar playback.

 Picture edited on computer or taken on different device.

  ‘CLOCK SET’ is incorrect (P.17).

  (Incorrect date may be displayed in calendar playback on pictures copied to computer 

and then back to camera, if computer and camera dates differ.)

 This is called moire. This is not a malfunction.

  If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, 

white round spots may appear on the picture caused by the flash 

reflecting particles of dust in the air. This is not a fault. A characteristic 

of this is that the number of round spots and their position differ in 

every picture.

 If subjects in pictures taken with RED-EYE reduction flash settings (

, 

, 

) 

contain patterns where areas of red are surrounded by colours close to skin colours, 

the digital red-eye correction function may cause these red areas to be blackened.

  → In such cases, using 

, or the 

 or 

 flash modes is recommended.

 Camera operation sounds may be recorded as camera automatically adjusts lens 

aperture during motion picture recording; this is not a fault.

 Motion pictures and pictures with audio taken with this camera may not always be 

able to be played back with cameras by other manufacturers. Playback may also not 

be possible with certain Panasonic digital cameras (LUMIX).  

 

Cameras launched before December 2008, and some cameras launched in 2009 

(FS, LS Series).

 In some cases, motion pictures and pictures with audio taken by this camera cannot be 

played back by digital cameras from other companies, and they also cannot be played 

in Panasonic digital cameras (LUMIX) that were sold before July 2008. 

 Motion pictures recorded in ‘AVCHD Lite’ format cannot be played in devices that do 

not support AVCHD. In some cases, motion pictures cannot be played back correctly 

in AVCHD-compatible devices.
