If your Panasonic Digital Camera won't turn on, doesn't stay on, or the battery drains quickly, try recharging the battery to ensure it has sufficient charge. Note that in cold environments, battery life may be shorter. If the battery still drains quickly after a full recharge, it may be worn out, and you should consult with your dealer.

If the power lamp on your Panasonic Digital Camera flashes for about 5 seconds and then turns off after approximately 30 seconds, it's likely that the temperature has become too high. Wait until the unit cools down before using it again.

If you notice a strange color balance in your images when recording with your Panasonic Digital Camera in places like a gymnasium, try setting the White Balance to (Indoor 2). If the image is still not clear, use the [CUSTOM] setting.

If recorded motion pictures flicker or horizontal lines appear in recorded movies on your Panasonic Digital Camera, this may occur when recording with [1280k720/120fps] or [848k480/ 240fps] in [SLOW MOTION] under fluorescent lighting.

What to do if my Panasonic Digital Camera stops recording suddenly?
A
Alexander DunlapSep 4, 2025
If your Panasonic Digital Camera arbitrarily stops recording, ensure you are using a microSD card suitable for motion picture recording. The issue might also stem from reduced data writing speed due to deterioration or frequent recording and deletion; formatting the microSD card using the camera may resolve this. In [SLOW MOTION] mode, a microSD card with a SD Speed Class Rating lower than Class 6 can cause recording to stop suddenly. When [PIXELS / FRAME RATE] is set to [3840k2160/30p], using a microSD card with a SD Speed Class Rating lower than Class 10 can cause recording to stop suddenly.
