(l 48) [Memory Card Error]/[This memory card cannot be used] Use a card compatible with the camera.
Page 457 [This battery cannot be used] Use a genuine Panasonic battery. If this message is displayed even when a genuine Panasonic battery is used, contact the dealer. If the terminal of the battery is dirty, remove the dirt and dust from them.
Page 458 17. Materials [Connection failed. Please retry in a few minutes.]/[Network disconnected. Transfer stopped.] Radio waves from the wireless access point are getting weak. Perform the connection closer to the wireless access point. Depending on the wireless access point, connection may be automatically disconnected after specific time has passed.
Page 459: Troubleshooting
17. Materials Troubleshooting First, try out the following procedures (l to 469). If the problem is not resolved, it may be improved by selecting [Reset] (l 76) on the [Setup] ([Setting]) menu. Power, Battery The camera turns off automatically. [Power Save Mode] is enabled. (l 44) The battery becomes flat too quickly.
Page 460 17. Materials Recording Recording stops before finishing. Cannot record. Cannot use some functions. In high ambient temperatures or if the camera is used for continuous recording, the temperature of the camera will rise. To protect the camera against a rise in temperature, after [ ] is displayed, recording will be stopped, and the following functions will not be available for a time.
Page 461 17. Materials Multiple images are recorded at once. When drive mode is set to [ ] (Burst Shot 1) or [ ] (Burst Shot 2), pressing and holding the shutter button will take burst pictures. (l 125) When bracketing is set, then pressing the shutter button records multiple images while automatically changing the settings.
Page 462 17. Materials Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting fixture. This is characteristic of CMOS sensors which serve as the camera’s pickup sensors. This is not a malfunction. When using the electronic shutter (l 170), lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.
Page 463 17. Materials Video Cannot record videos. When using a large capacity card, you may not be able to record for a while after turning on the camera. Video recording stops in the middle. Recording video using the SD card requires an SD card of a supported speed class. Use a compatible SD card.
Page 464 17. Materials Monitor/Viewfinder The monitor/viewfinder turns off when the camera is turned on. If no operations are performed during the set time period, [Auto LVF/Monitor Off] (l 44) is activated, and the Monitor/Viewfinder turns off. When an object or your hand is positioned near the eye sensor, the Monitor display may switch to the Viewfinder display.
Page 465 17. Materials Wi-Fi Function A Wi-Fi connection cannot be established. Radio waves get disconnected. Wireless access point is not displayed. General tips for using a Wi-Fi connection Use within the communication range of the device to be connected. Usage near devices that utilize the 2.4 GHz frequency such as microwave ovens and cordless telephones may result in the radio wave being lost.
Page 466 17. Materials When trying to connect to a PC by Wi-Fi, this does not recognize the user name and password, and connection is not possible. Depending on the version of the OS, there are two types of user account (local account/Microsoft account).
Page 467 17. Materials I have forgotten the password for the Wi-Fi. In the [Setup] ([Setting]) menu, [Reset], reset network settings. (l 76) However, all information set in [Wi-Fi Setup] and [Bluetooth] will also be reset. (With the exception of [LUMIX CLUB]) TV, PC, Printer No image on the TV.
Page 468 17. Materials The card is not recognized by the PC. (SDXC memory card is used.) Check if your PC supports SDXC memory cards. When connecting the camera to the PC, a message recommending that the card be formatted may be displayed. Do not format the card. If the [Access] displayed on the monitor does not disappear, turn off the camera and disconnect the USB connection cable, and then connect again.
Page 469 17. Materials There is a sound from the lens unit. The lens movement and aperture operation emit sound when turning the camera on or off; this is not a malfunction. This is the sound of aperture operation when brightness changes; this is not a malfunction.
Page 470: Cautions For Use
17. Materials Cautions for Use The camera Keep this unit as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.). If you use this unit on top of or near a TV, the pictures and/or sound on this unit may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
Page 471 17. Materials Do not spray the camera with insecticides or volatile chemicals. If the camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the body of the camera may be damaged and the surface finish may peel off. Do not keep products made of rubber, PVC or similar materials in contact with the camera for a long period of time.
Page 472 17. Materials Cleaning Before cleaning the camera, remove the battery or the DC Coupler, and disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet. Then wipe the camera with a dry, soft cloth. When the camera is soiled badly, it can be cleaned by wiping the dirt off with a wrung wet cloth, and then with a dry cloth.
Page 473 Do not use any objects except a blower brush to clean the image sensor. If you cannot remove the dirt or dust with the blower, consult the dealer or Panasonic. Cleaning the Viewfinder If the viewfinder is dirty, then remove the eye cup and clean.
Page 474 (S-R24105), a lens mount rubber is used in the mount. – The lens mount rubber will leave scuff marks on the digital camera mount, but this does not impact performance. – To replace the lens mount rubber, contact Panasonic.
Page 475 17. Materials Battery The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. It is highly sensitive to temperature and humidity, and the effect on performance increases as the temperature rises or drops. Always remove the battery after use. Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips, etc.) for storage or transport.
