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 you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

SOURCE: Help! My pictures are trapped on my digital camera!!

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.

SOURCE: memory card locked

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

SOURCE: Pictures will not upload to laptop.

I had a similar problem recently - the computer wasn't even recognising that it was plugged in. I eventually took the battery out and charged it up, then later it worked perfectly. I hope this is helpful to you.

SOURCE: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5 cant upload photos!!

Did your friend use the "safely remove hardware" function when removing your card from her computer? That could corrupt your card if she didn't. Try this...take your card to a store like Walmart that has a Kodak picture kiosk. They can usually read everything on a card. There, you can print the pics or even make a cd of them. Afterwards, format your card in your camera.

How do I get the date/timestamp to display on pictures with Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8?

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.

I cannot upload picture onto my pc

Does the PC pop up with anything when the camera is plugged in? if so, make sure the camera is in plyback mode and check windows explorer, under My computer, there should be a extra drive letter pop up.
If not then the USB socket can become damaged easily (have a look). If the socket is damaged, then you can either get it repaired or buy a SD card reader. that stays connected to the PC through it's own USB cable, you take the SD card out of the camera and plug it in to the reader (this is a better and cheaper option)
Cheers.

Panasonic lumix camera fz20eb unable to upload pics to toshiba laptop with windows vista

You should be upload pictures using a USB cable even if you do not have the additional sofware. Once you plugged in your camera, it may take a few minutes for the computer to register a new device and you should be able to view pictures using the Vista popup or in my computer from the "new device"
