Problem downloading photos to computer.(DMC-FZ7) Downloads 2 to 3 photos then freezes.Switch off and on & reconect with same resuls.Formatted card but no change.It used to work well with different SD card but not with new cards. Thank you Chris

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

You don't need any 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 which is already on your Mac.

Ok, came accross this problem. After searching and searching, I downloaded the user guide ( who knew?! ) and the reason that is happening is because the Lumix DMC-FZ7 is not able to process an SD card bigger than 2 GB.

I switched it to a 1 GB and camera is back working!!

I hope this helps

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about how to find the manuals, drivers, downloads and support for Digital Cameras.

Hi, try to use card reader to download .

Kindly downloaded it here : www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support
www.opendrivers.com/.../panasonic-free-driver-download.html
www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/.../software-downloads.asp

Try using a separate card reader to download your pics.

You can download and print your manual here:

May not be a way to do it. Personally, I think it is a poor thing to do. When you put the time & date on a picture this way, it cannot be easily removed. Since the EXIF data has this and much more information, you can always add it later.

A lot of Photo Rescue programs are available to recover your media card.
