Hi, Need your help. My Lumix DMC-FX8 DIGITAL CAMERA is not working properly. When i switch on my camera..response is "Please turn camera off and then on again. Thanking you in advance for your aasistance. Cyril

This camera cannot be upgraded to read SDHC cards. The maximum is 2Gb Secure Digital.

Hi,

My suggestion would be to try with new set of battery.

You can also try this.
Remove the battery and clean the contacts between the camera and battery and insert it. Sometimes tapping the camera on the palm 3-4 times bit gently too fixes the problem.

Hey bro I have exactly the same problem, when i turn on the damn thing it just zooms right out and just keeps scrolling through the options. I think that it has to be some sort of software problem, there must be a way to reset it!

hi, i've an fx8. i had a problem 2 weeks ago. my objective didn't want to close when i switched the camera off. it remained open. when i switched the camera on again, the objetcive has closed and opened again, and the _Turn Off the Camera and Turn On again_ message appeared on the sisplay. and remained in open position after switching it off. i tried some button combination, like menu button on, and power the camera on. it didn't work, but the second was the shotting button on, power on combination. an it worked, my camera did some kind of reset. it returned to the original position, and everithing is working since then.
