Deleting Videos I have no issues with deleting pictures from my cards or internal memory, but I cannot seem to delete videos from one of my cards (2G SD)while using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8. The videos do not even show on the camera at all, even in playback mode. For some reason, every time I transfer all my pictures to my PC, it tries to download all these stored videos too. Please help!

Hi,

Please see below instruction on how to delete internal memory on your camera:

• You needs\ to make sure that all the pictures that you want to keep either on the card or internal memory are copied on to your computer.
• Next with the card in the camera you should be able to look at a picture and hit delete. When you do this it should give you an option to delete a picture or delete all. Deleting all will clear the card.
  
• Next it should give you the option to look at and clear the internal memory and delete it and your done,

Note: you must removed the memory card before deleting the internal memory

Hi there Gloria,

Your camera might be using the internal memory in saving those pictures.

You can press the Review button and press the left and right arrow to view the previous, next picture or video. You need to press the Delete button in each of them that you wan to delete. You might want to transfer your pictures and videos on the computer first before deleting them.

Then to set the memory card for the camera to save those images instead of the internal memory, just press Menu, then press either up or down button until you see Image Storage. Choose Auto; this option chooses the memory card if it is inserted on the camera.

Hope this helps.

just browse the video in the camera in the view mode..and select the one you need to delete ..and options ..and delete ..it also have the option to multiple delete ..
or ..if it is connected to a computer ..and it has a card ..and the movies are on the card ..just look for the card as a removable device in my computer folder ..open and delete what you don't need..
also in the main menu ..at the storage ..it is available the delete and format card and internal memory ..formatting them will erase all the videos on camera

Are the pictures on a memory card? In that case, you're much better off formatting the card. If you continue to delete unwanted pictures, you'll fragment the card and ultimately you'll have problems. Every day somebody posts here with that problem. Formatting cleans things up.

If the pictures are in internal memory, select Internal Memory Tool from the Setup menu, and you can format the internal memory, deleting all the pictures. My earlier comments hold true here as well.

If you insist on keeping some pictures and deleting others, then go into the index (thumbnail) mode. Press the trashcan button, then select [Select] with up/down, then press *. Select images with the arrows, then press * to display the delete indicator on the selected pictures, Press the trashcan, select [OK], then press *.

Remove the card, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory.

it could be that it is still saved in the cam memory or memory card, erase both.
