Q&A Troubleshooting - Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ30 Owner's Manual

Recording (continued)
Recorded pictures are blurred. Image Stabilizer ineffective.
●
Shutter speed is slower in dark locations and Image Stabilizer is less effective.
→ Hold camera firmly with both hands, keeping arms close to body.
→ Set [Sensitivity] to [AUTO] and [Digital Zoom] to [OFF]. (→81, 86)
Cannot use [Auto Bracket].
●
Only enough memory for 2 pictures or fewer.
Recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference.
●
ISO Sensitivity is high, or shutter speed is low.
(Default [Sensitivity] setting is [AUTO] – interference may appear with indoor pictures.)
→ Lower [Sensitivity] (→81).
→ Take pictures in brighter locations.
●
Camera set to [High Sens.] Scene mode.
(Picture becomes slightly coarser in response to high sensitivity)
Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.
●
When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the light
source and do not indicate a malfunction.
Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire
screen may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter
button halfway.
●
This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter
areas. Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This
will be recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.
●
We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as
sunlight when taking pictures.
Motion picture recording stops midway.
●
With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.
●
If recording stops even when using a card of the recommended speed class (→22), the data writing
speed has dropped. If this happens, we recommend backing up the data on the memory card and
formatting it (→51).
The beep volume is low.
●
The speaker is blocked.
The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails.)
●
If the color of the subject is similar to that of its background, AF Tracking may not function. Set the
AF lock to the colors specific to the subject.
