You don't need any special software.
The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.
Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or, despite what I said first, you can use any photo cataloging program, such as iPhoto on Mac or Windows Photo Gallery on Windows.

• The built-in memory provides extra memory up to approx. 40 MB (F3) / 50 MB (F2) when your memory card fills up.

with music, you can get an emotion-filled slideshow with a variety of
slide change effects and matching music.

The best settings depend on what you're taking a picture of, and on what you want that picture to say to your audience. The best setting for a mountain landscape is usually not the best setting for a portrait. For the same mountain landscape, you'd probably want different settings for a daytime picture than for a sunset picture. For a portrait, you might want different settings for a man than for a woman, or for a child than for an adult. You might want to bring out the fun-loving nature of a child, or show the dignity of age in the child's grandparent.
If you're just taking snapshots, leave the camera on AUTO or an appropriate scene mode. Otherwise, go to your local library and browse through the introductory photography books. There's so much more than can be covered in a single post, or even a single web page.
Most important, practice, practice, PRACTICE. Take pictures with different settings, then look at them on the computer and try to see what difference the settings made. Those pictures won't cost you anything, and you can delete them afterwards.
If you have any specific situations in mind, with the subject, lighting conditions, and intended message, please feel free to reply to this post and give the details.

The non functioning of the camera can be a fault in the shutter, zoom or auto focus sections and may be due to the failure of the Main control system or the drive.Please check you battery voltage before proceeding further. A simple was is to reset and we can try by removing the battery and card for some time. Now replace only the battery and while switching power ON, tap the lens hood on the palm of your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must the camera be opened. If so check the voltage on the motor drive, check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and released. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
Get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the authorised service as you do not have to run around for spares.

If you send it to Panasonic, they will charge you about $177 and will send you a refurbished camera...they don't really fix point and shoot cameras.
When I take pictures at
Most of the present day personal cameras cannot have a good flash output and so the THROW of light is limited, So when it is used for night shots try and use the flash as close as possible to the SUBJECT as the flash will not COVER THE SUBJECT if FAR away.
This can be the reason for the poor shots. Also try to manually set the camera for higher sensitivity .Use of a SLAVE flash will improve your shots. You can buy this as an accessory.
