Is rechargeable Li-ion battery available for Lumix DMC FZ8 in service center and how much?

The Arcsoft software that comes with most, if not all, Panasonic cameras is available as a trial download on the internet. The free version is only available on the disk that came with the camera. However, if you are using Windows XP (or maybe even Vista) you can use a free photo edit/organizer program such as Google's Picasa. As long as your computer recognizes the camera when connected, you can use most any software. If this doesn't work, you can try using a usb card reader and removing the card from your camera and accessing your images that way.

Picasa

Hope this helps.

I had this issue and found a small grain of sand around the lens. On removing it the camera worked fine again.

Hello,
It will not work through USB like a standard webcam. Ls-70 only lets you access camera memory card/onboard memory when connected via USB.
However you could connect the camera video-out socket to a PC with graphics card with video capture function. Some cards with video capture work with skype (check this URL:

There are also various software solutions which can fool your webchat client into thinking that video capture stream is actually an output of a usb webcam. (Try google for "video capture into skype".
At the moment this seems to be the only easy way to use LS-70 as webcam.

Good luck,

Raf

Forget the cable. Do what the pros do...use a card reader.
