If you want to use a computer to read the internal memory or the SD card in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5, you will need the correct USB cable, which is an 8-pin micro USB (M) to USB A cable, . (One example: https://www.amazon.com/dCables-Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-ZS5-Cable/dp/B00448MAWK ) Then ensure that the camera is fully charged or is getting additional power (AC adapter or DC coupler). After connecting the camera to the computer, you should be able to transfer files from File Explorer (Windows) or the Desktop (Mac). This may depend on your OS, see page 140 of the Advanced Features Manual for the supported OS versions. (Check Windows compatibility for later Windows version compatibility.) With Windows XP, Vista or 7, you can also use the PhotoFunStudio that came on the CD with the camera. There is an update to the software here: http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/download/pfs50.html . See the manual for using the PhotoFunStudio software. The direct link to the Advanced Feature manual is ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/om/dmc-zs7_adv_en_om.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Instructions for this should be in the manual

Either by moving the write-protect switch on the SD card, or by going into the menu and re-setting write-protect for the images you wish to delete

What focal length (zoom?)-as you zoom, apature changes. You have to have lens at wide settings to get lowest f-stop readings.

In the Flash menu, there is an option for Forced Flash Off. Press the Flash button to the right of the Menu button. Then use the up down arrows to move to this option. (It's at the bottom of the list.) Then press Menu to set the option to the Flash Off. This is shown on page 36 of the manual for the DMC-TZ3. I found a copy of the manual here: http://panasonic.ae/en/manuals/DMC-TZ3.pdf . Your pictures may have exposure or blurring issues in this mode. The shutter will stay open longer to attempt to gather enough light. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Anything you try has to be compatible with Windows XP. Whenever Microsoft come out with a new operating system (example Win 10) they suspend support for an older OS. (example Win XP, and Vista) This lets all manufacturers know that their new products and accessories no longer have to be compatible with the older OS, but need to be compatible with the new one. Therefore, your card reader has to be XP compatible as well. Hope this helped.

shutter switch is stucked or memory card is full.

Nikon's software supports Raw directly. There are 3rd party raw downloaders available for windows machines, probably have Mac versions too. Google for raw file software.

Unless you can get a shop manual and read the procedure, don't rush it. Visit a local Panasonic shop and ask them nicely to share the info about it. They have all manuals at hand and may let you dig in.
I was pleasantly surprised by their support once I had to fix up my Panasonic Digicam.
Try it and good luck with your project.

Did You try checking the sd card or turning it on and off

This does not appear to be a camera. Please repost in a more appropriate forum. Thank you.

Answer is in the manual - in case you don't have it please do this: To change selected picture effects ([Creative Control] menu)Press [MENU/SET] Use cursor button to select [Creative Control] menu and press [MENU/SET] Press up/down to select a setting ( there are a few eg. Sepia, Retro, Soft Focus, Expressive, Toy etc, and then press [MENU/SET] ( pressing DISP should give you an explanation of what each item selected does) Hope this solves your problem. Cheers Mike

If you do a complete format of the card, that should do the deed.

I guess you want to upload your pictures to a computer? Panasonic cameras come with a special USB cable that plugs into a receptacle that is covered by a flap on the side of the camera. If you don't have the right cable, you can remove the SD card and put it in a reader attached to the computer.

Lens covers are delicate things. A bit of dust or dirt inside and the the springs can't do their job. When cleaning doesn't work, to repair this I remove the lens cover and shorten the springs by cutting off a bit and then reattaching them. A small bit of mollyd to lubricate helps too. never use oil or silicone.

it is just a battery and camera manufacturers use generic batteries take the old battery out and all you need is a battery the same shape , voltage and composition --ni-cad or metal hydroxide they would be available at any camera shop or online from e-bay

Replacement at just over $100 - your call, really, but repair on any camera will be expensive.

You may have a defective SD card. Have you tried to put your sisters SD card into your camera? Most cameras have internal storage. Do the cameras work with the SD card removed? Most **** stores sell storage cards. a new card may solve your problem.
