for sports shot you can use panning
Scene menu:If designated through the set up menu, this menu automatically appears in the SCN1 and SCN2 modes. panning:is for takin photos of say example a runner or a cyclist,, You hold down the shutter and pan with the subject this will make the background blurry and the object clear.

no your file has been corrupted.. sorry.

try to check and clean the lens of your camera...

Open the Lens Assembly and clean it but do it, in case you know how to do it.

On most camera's there s a max size for the memory cards.

The lens can not move due to a possible obstruction.

Gently put some force on the lens, turn the camera on and it works. I suppose there is too much friction between lens and camera.

Best regards from Holland!

Hi, sounds like a problem with the shutter. If it is not functioning correctly, the camera usually produces a picture with lines in it. It will have to be serviced by a professional tech.

The filter size for the FZ20 is 72mm.

wats the specification of ur cam

I had the same problem after dropping the camera. In my case, the lens became jammed. Of course your problem may be due to something else. In my case, I disassembed the camera and reassembled it and it now works fine. It was a bit time-consuming to do, but is possible.

I used these instructions, although they are for a somewhat different model. http://www.instructables.com/id/Repair-Stuck-Lens-on-Panasonic-FZ5/

In the case of the FZ5, some people reported being able to get the lens to work by manipulating the lens without taking the camera apart. This might work if the cog inside has slipped off of it's track. In that case it might be possible to work it back into place. If the cog is intact, though, forcing the lens might damage it.

In the camera setup menu there is an option which says power saver......increase the time frame in power saver...it will solve the problem

Had to take my SD card in for a system recovery.
Thanks

Check that you have not got Macro set accidently.
If lighting level are low and the camera is selectinging a slow speed - reset to Apeture Priority -setting 'A' and and be very gentle with the release - the slightest movement will blur an image on long exposure.
Try these thing and if still introuble come back with more detail

you will have to remove the ccd circuit board to get to the lens and gears.
