the lumix takes SD or SDHC cards .. it doesnt say how big they can be but there may be a limitation .. make sure you format the new cards before using .. thats a menu item in your camera ..

Use a separate card reader to download your pictures.

Probably not; it is an uncommon wish today.
But, any editing software I have ever seen allows you to change color saturation or intensity and these can be reduced to 0, yielding your B&W.
If you don't have any editing software (last person on the planet? ;-) ), I recommend Irfanview, a freeware package (donations appreciated) that is easy to use and well-supported and gets better with each version:
Irfanview Photo Editor

Use a cardreader to download your pictures.

You should phone a local repair shop or Panasonic service center. If you're not against sending it to Latvia, I can offer ir for 25$.

There is a switch on the SD memory card, slide the switch to unlock position before you insert the card into your camera.
More detail, see here How to fix a ‘card locked’ problem

On PLAY mode, with a valid memory card inside, press MENU/SET, goto to COPY, select internal--> memory card, select YES, and then MENU/SET.
You better charge your battery before doing copy. Don't turn off the camera during copying.
Good luck.

I had the same problem...it's something to do with the lens not focusing properly. I hit it gently a bunch of times and now it works. But don't hit it too hard! Or it'll break.

Check to make sure the memory card is inserted the right way. Otherwise the camera will only read the memory that came with the camera, which is very small.

hi when you connect it make shure it displays on the camera USB connected if it does open my computer, the camera drive should be there

Try putting the camera in play mode or print mode and turn on and off until you get an off state with the lense retracted. Next, hold the zoom lever to the left (W) and power on. This worked for my camera. I am not sure the first step is necessary but this is what I did and the camera works fine. I think when I dropped it the lense gear got out of sync.

Hi, Bring your camera to an repairshop to clean the CCD sensor, because it not a DSLR lens to must clean it inside on the surface of the CCD

Hi Please install again the driver on the disk you have from Panasonic. First remove the old driver and install the disk complete.

Hi Is the bump on the floor?


Probably you can see that the flashtube is broken?
Than let it replace.

It is also possilble that an connection failed after a bump
i mean the connection between the top operation assy and the mainboard inside the camera. (press the operation assy carefully)

My bad. I didn't see your post title. Here's download link for your camera. Just follow the instruction. If it doesn't work, email me I have a copy.

on the back of the camera press the button in the far right bottom corner, the one with the dustbin icon beneath it. Then follow the onscreen instructions and use the arrow keys to select your choice as to whether you want to delete one image, multiple images or all images on the camera
