20 Most Recent Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 Digital Camera Questions & Answers

I had a blinking green light on the charger when I would put the battery on the charger. I noticed some black buildup on the prongs of the battery and scrapped it off and now the battery charger is displaying solid green. It may end up being a quick fix considering my equipment came from ebay and already had some light wear and tear

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hey! There are a lot of such conversion tools. I am now using this Wondershare DVD Converter Ultimate, which helps me convert various video format to any video/audio format I need(indcluding the format you have mentioned). And it also helps me burn dvd from video. It works well for me. You can also have a free trail of it. Hope that helps.

Is your memory card good? Does it do this with other cards? Have you tried resetting electronics to factory defaults.?

Opening and it being simple fix is highly unlikely as for spares it is around 10 years old and second hand prices on flea bay are low for a complete camera consider replacing you camera

Hello friends,
My Panasonic Lumix dig. camera Screen is showing the message that pl. switch off the cametra and on again. when i did the same again I face the same problem. Pl. help me to solve the problem

It's a rather old camera Read review here Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 Digital Camera http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/TZ1/TZ1A.HTM Get manual from here and check specifications; 2 Gb is the maximum it accepts. http://www.manualslib.com/manual/360853/Panasonic-Lumix-Dmc-Tz1.html

You can bypass this whole problem by just removing the Media card and putting it into your computer directly. Copy/paste from the media card to the PC. I do it All the time and it's quicker than waiting for the camera to download.

Use the Copy command. See page 90 of the manual: Owners Manual User Guide for Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ1 Digital Camera

Go into the menu and find "copy"...you can copy the internal memory to a memory card.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer. 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). 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 you can use any photo management program such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

The pictures are often too dark but sometimes too light. I have now found a work-around for this problem. It consists of doing the following:

* set the sensitivity to ISO 100
* set the flash to "A"
* take a picture with the lens cap on
* remove the lense cap and take your pictures - they should come out fine

I don't know why this works but I think that when the TZ1 does not have enough information to compute a shot, it will rely on information from previous shots. Taking a picture with the lens cap on may reset the information in the camera so that it does not rely on previous shots. Setting the ISO to 100 will prevent the over exposed shots as the software may sometimes choose ISO 400

1. Adjust ISO or ASA 100
2. Adjust AWB Indoor florescent or Bulb while outdoor select sunny or foggy it depends of the place
