[Format] - Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ18 Operating Instructions Manual

• If you copy picture data from the built-in
memory to a card which does not have
sufficient free space, the picture data will
only be copied halfway. We recommend
using a card which has more free space than
the built-in memory (about 27 MB).
• If a picture exists with the same name (folder
number/file number) as the picture to be
copied in the copy destination when
[ ] is selected, a new folder is
created and the picture is copied.
If a picture exists with the same name (folder
number/file number) as the picture to be
copied in the copy destination when
[ ] is selected, that picture is not
copied.
• It may take time to copy the picture data.
• Only pictures recorded with a Panasonic
digital camera (LUMIX) will be copied.
(Even if the pictures were recorded with a
Panasonic digital camera, you may not be
able to copy them if they were edited with a
PC.)
• DPOF settings on the original picture data
will not be copied. Set the DPOF settings
again after copying is finished.
