Press the MENU button. Use cursor-left/right to select the wrench-and-screwdriver icon. Use cursor-up/down to select the last item on the menu (it looks like a letter "i" and a plus sign).

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

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.

Easiest way...use a separate card reader to download to a folder you create on your desktop.

Count the numbers you push the buttons.

On the memory card itself there is grey slider. Make sure it is NOT in the lock position.

Put in the model number, check the "accept terms" box and click "locate manual".

No. These cameras store images in a JPEG format and can be used with any software package that can open a JPEG image.

No. All Lumix® Digital Cameras have a built-in feature to conserve battery power. After a certain amount of inactivity, the LCD will power down to preserve the battery. Simply hit the SHTR button, and the LCD will turn ON.

Unlike 35mm cameras that store images on film, Lumix® Digital Cameras store images on SD Memory Cards, which make sharing and storing your pictures easy and convenient. You simply insert an SD Memory Card into the camera, take pictures until the card is full, and then you can transfer the pictures onto a compatible PC. Once you saved all your pictures, you can erase the card and start all over again.

The DPOF Print Mark Function allows you to sort through the SD Memory Card and select the images you want to print by electronically marking them. You can then print the marked images on any DPOF compatible printer by hitting the AUTO PRINT button.

This functionality allows unlimited consecutive shooting up to the capacity of the SD Memory Card in the camera—ideal for capturing fast-moving objects in high resolution. The number of shots may vary depending on memory card size, picture size, and compression.

Effective megapixels are slightly less than the total number of pixels normally stated for an image sensor. They represent the actual number of pixels used to record an image.

The MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer helps correct hand movement from shaky hands, one of the main reasons why cameras produce blurry images. Lumix® Digital Cameras with MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer technology have a built-in gyrosensor that detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the Optical Image Stabilizer lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD. You won't even notice it working—all you'll see are the outstanding results!

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

That is about the only thing you can do now that you suspect there may be a software issue. Was it working fine before the latest firmware install? If not, then the issue is with the internal chip that sets up the correct parameters for shooting still shots. And if unit out out of warranty you can forget a repair - it is much too expensive and not cost effective.

Since you are using software to modify your print and you save your changes you may have overlooked making sure your file is kept as .jpg. i use Adobe and after modifying my photos it will default to a Adobe file type unless I check. so when saving changes make sure it is the same type you started with. you can select "save as" to lett you confirm file extension (.jpg, . JPEG etc)
