Sounds like you have a broken lens. You can either repair it or buy a new camera (which is probably cheaper than repairing).

OK, if the memory card itself is locked, you might sometimes get this error code. All you need to do is to take out the memory card and switch the lever on the left side to the unlock.



If the error is still displayed after you did the above, you might want to try the card in another camera.

If the card works in another camera . the problem is with your card reader in your camera.

If you open you sd slot and look inside with a sharp light , you should be able to see on the left side of the slot there is a little copper or spring steel lever switch. This switch work as follows:

1. When no card is inserted / no write protection , the switch is open and thus the protection is off.
2. When locked card is inserted , the tab is depressed and tells the camera that the card is lock.

Contrary to popular belief ,the little tab on the sd card is not an electronic switch and does not physically influence the card operation itself. If you put a locked card into a camera without a sd lock switch , you would still be able to use the card normally.

It is incredible difficult to fix this switch because of space limitations in the sd card. Look into the sd slot and if you can see the switch , use a needle to pull the little tab down toward the base of the camera by about 2mm or until it works being careful not to bend it.

If this does not resolve your problem , there might be a short in the switch circuit and the camera will need to be disassembled to resolve this error. This should cost no more than $50.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further information

Artificial light is a different colour than daylight. Our eyes compensate, so we don't notice it much. Digital cameras can compensate too, but whether they do or not depends on the settings. The setting you want to investigate is colour balance. If this is set to daylight, it will give an orange cast to pictures taken in tungsten lighting, and a greenish cast to pictures taken in fluorescent light. If it is set to artificial light, pictures taken in daylight will have a bluish cast. The best setting for most people is Auto. That will let your camera decide, and usually it will get it about right.

How big are these cards? The DMC-TZ1 works with MultiMedia and SD cards. If these cards are larger than 2GB then they're actually SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards and will not work in the DMC-TZ1.

I just looked it up and found at:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20oWaFad9_0 a utube clip explaining how to go to www.media-convert.com and set the input to apple e.g. quicktime.mov and frame rate 18fps, quality 2500 and you can get the conversion done free online. QuickMediaConverter is the excellent free program which I use....

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 centre 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.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

You need to get rid of the pics in the internal memory. With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format" and follow the on-screen instructions. Now, your card should work properly.

I have a Lumix DMC FZ20, and I can only charge the battery in the charger provided. This seems to be true for most cameras, certainly all the others I have used apart from a few novelty types that have the battery built in (the MuVi for instance).

When you plug the camera in and turn it on, (you may or may not have to go into review picture mode) it should appear on your desktop as a drive, usually called "no name". Just double-click on it and you can view the pics or drag and drop them to iPhoto. You could also buy a card reader and use it to download....it's faster and trouble-free.

Hello, and thanks for using FixYa.

It seems you have taken some pictures with the camera before you purchased a storage card. those pictures where saved into the phones memory and they stay there until you remove them. Seems like you never removed them.

So thats normal.


Please let me know if you require further assistance or if you have any questions.
Thanks,

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. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Go to the manufactures website or go to this site: http://www.driverssolve.com/sw/72151.html. Good luck!

You can use a card reader instead of the camera and download to a folder you create on your desktop. From there, you can use iPhoto, Photoshop Elements, or whatever.
