What is the maximum size to use for an sd card for lumix dmc tz3

This is a tv setting problem, not a camera problem. If you have a widescreen tv, it can be set to several width aspects. Check your tv manual for instructions.

SD cards max out at 2GB. The manual states 1GB as the maximum size, but 1GB SD cards are getting very hard to find. You should be able to use a 2GB card.

Hi

According to the information I have the maximum card size for the DMC-FZ20 is 1Gb SD.

Hope this helps

A card that size is actually an SDHC card. SD and SDHC cards fit the same slots, but they are slightly different. Many cameras won't work with the SDHC (high capacity) cards. SDHC is not backwards compatible.

I expect your camera just won't work with this kind of card. It is often difficult to find out the maximum capacity memory card a camera will use, as today's cards are much larger that those available when the manual for the camera was written.

Yes. The DMC-TZ3 can use both SD and SDHC cards.

According to the TZ1 manual the maximum size of SD hard is 2gb. You cannot use the new format SDHC card as it is not recognized.

Format the sd card and try again.

This depends on the memory you have available and your movie settings.

Memory card likely has temporary(needs formatting) or permanent problems(needs replacing, common for off branded china junk).

First format the mem card on your camera by pressing center Menu button then scrolling down to the end of the menu to Format. If this does not work, and you have bought a Name Brand SD card; Sandisk/Kingston/Patriot etc, return it to place of purchase with receipt, or creditcard use to purchase it, and they will replace it.
