Troubleshooting - Panasonic DMC-ZS40 Basic Owner's Manual

Troubleshooting

First, try out the following procedures.
If the problem persists, performing [Reset] in the [Setup] menu may resolve
the issue.
The charging lamp blinks.
Charging is being performed in a place with extremely high or low temperature.
→ Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in a place
where ambient temperature is 10 ° C to 30 °C (50 ° F to 86 ° F) (temperature
conditions also apply to the battery itself).
Charging is not possible if the power supply capacity of the computer is low.
The lower right portion of recorded pictures appears dark or the color is unnatural.
Your finger is blocking the flash.
→ Make sure you are holding the camera correctly (→21).
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED
lighting fixture.
This is characteristic of MOS sensors which serve as the camera's pickup sensors. This
is not a malfunction.
I would like to upload recorded pictures to a social networking service right after
taking them. How can I do that?
We recommend sending the pictures to your smartphone and uploading them from the
smartphone.
I am having a problem connecting to my Windows 8 PC. The user name and
password are not recognized.
Depending on the OS version, on Windows 8, for example, there are two types of user
account (local account/Microsoft account). Be sure to use the user name and password
for the local account. Since a Local account is not required by Windows 8, you may need
to create one.
Troubleshooting
The Wi-Fi connection is not recognizing my PC.
By default, the Wi-Fi connection uses the default workgroup name of "WORKGROUP".
If the name of the workgroup has been changed, it will not be recognized. Select [PC
Connection] then [Change Workgroup Name] in the [Wi-Fi Setup] menu to change the
workgroup name to match that of your PC.
The GPS status indicator lights up while the camera is turned off.
[GPS Setting] is [ON].
→ Electromagnetic waves from the camera can affect instruments and meters. In airplane
cabins (during takeoff and landing) or in other restricted areas, set [Airplane Mode] to
[ON], and then turn off the camera.
Positioning takes time.
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may
take several minutes.
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the
GPS satellites change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and
environment.
→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera
using the "GPS Assist Tool".
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from
the GPS satellites.
The location name information is different from the recording location.
Immediately after the camera is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than
[ ], the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly
from the current position.
When [ ] is displayed for the location name information, the information can be
changed to a different candidate before starting to record. You can edit a place name or
landmark name recorded in a picture.
