Hello, I have a Lumix DMC-FS10, I have found that some of my photos have downloaded to thumbprint size which won't seem to go any bigger without distortion and some are normal I unfortunately deleted them off my memory card after transfering them onto my laptop then onto discs and didn't realise i had a problem untill to late what should i do in future to ensure this doesn't happen again? This is my second Lumix camera the one down from this which i never had any problem with and took fantastic pictures with easy to use for a novice like me regretably got stolen on holiday can i still buy this old model DMC-FX33? Thanks Janet

Follow the instructions in the manual(s).

Put the media card in a card reader attached to your computer.

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 such as iPhoto.


Even if you have to purchase a card reader, you might save money anyway. The last card reader I bought cost me less than the last USB cord I bought (and I still haven't used that cord with any of my cameras, only with my tablet).

First : is it the same to other SD Card?If yes thenSecond: is it happened to other SD Card?if the second answer is YES -> it might be the I/O part of the camera
but if the second answer is NO -> try to re format that SD Card it might contained a faulty fat (file alocation table)I hope it help

Press Menu / Set button.

Choose the Settings Menu (Wrench Icon)

From there you should find the Lanugage Menu.

Look at your memory card. SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.
