When I plug the camera (Panasonic DMC-TZ3) into my mac nothing happens on the computer but the camera says it is syncing. Do I need to instal any software fist or am I missing something? Thanks

Follow the instructions in the "Copy" subsection of the "Using PLAY Menu" section of the manual (page 72 in my copy). If you need a manual, you can download one at

HI,

Please reinstall your camera drivers.Uninstall it first from the control panel add/remove programs and then with the disc provided to you install the drivers.

It seems Panasonic dmc-zs3 seems don't support charging the panasonic battery when pluging in computer by USB, Maybe you can find a USB adapter charger, or using a special charger for it.

Hopefully sounds like the battery just died while it was plugged into computer. First recharge the battery and disconnect the camera from the computer. If this does not work then possibly it can be just a coincidence that the circuitry in the camera failed while it was plugged into the computer. You may have to take or ship to service center for evaluation.

If all you want to do is download your pics, you don't need the disc. Just use a card reader to download to a folder you create on your desktop.

Easiest way...buy an inexpensive card reader to download your pics to a folder you create on your desktop...works every time.

Is the flash going off? Have you tried slow shutter sync with your flash indoors for some great shots.

Apple made that very easy with the current operating system, OSX. All you need to do is have the camera off, plug the connector cable to the camera and to a USB port on your Mac. Once you turn the camera on, your Mac should load iPhoto and will give you the option to import from your camera.
