Dropped panasonic lumic fz 70 - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ70 16 Megapixel Digital Camera, 20-1200mm 60x Optical Zoom Lens, Full HD Recording, RAW files, Dolby Digital Sound

I DON'T KNOW. IF AVAILABLE, CONSIDER 'RETURN TO FACTORY SETTINGS' OR 'ORIGINAL SETTINGS'.

Follow the instructions on page 38 of this manual: http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCFZ8.PDF

Check out the Panasonic (Netherland) Website.

Hope it helps.

Your camera can use both SD and SDHC (high-capacity) cards. With 14 megapixels, I'd recommend the SDHC. If you're going to shoot videos, get a class 6 card. It's more expensive but it shoots videos trouble-free. Sandisk is a good brand.

Go into the menu and scroll to "format" and follow the on-screen instructions.

Make sure the camera is not in play mode. look for a reset procedure or a firmware flash procedure.

You can download it for free from Panasonic here.

THIS MESSAGE APPEARS WHEN A FAULT HAS GONE WRONG WITH THE LENS. EITHER CAMERA HAS TAKEN A DROP OR KNOCK. THIS CAN BE REPAIRED BUT NEEDS TO GO TO A PANASONIC SERVICE CENTRE.

Where the Panasonic FZ-20 does very well, is with conditions where you need a long zoom under low light. Most lenses will lose light as they are zoomed out. The Leica lens in the FZ-20 does not lose light when zoomed. No matter which camera you are using, you will have to use the manual controls for the best results. So learning about exposure and how to use it, is necessary.
