      If the picture is not displayed on the LCD monitor of your Panasonic Digital Camera, it could be because the power save mode is activated. Press the shutter button halfway to deactivate this mode. Alternatively, the battery charge may be insufficient to operate the camera. Use a battery that has been sufficiently charged.

    Why does shooting motion pictures stop unexpectedly on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1?
    • A

      If shooting motion pictures stops unexpectedly on your Panasonic Digital Camera, it could be due to several reasons: * This camera is not compatible with motion picture recording on MultiMediaCards. * If you set the [PICT.MODE] to [30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9], use cards that have a speed of 10 MB/second or better for best results. * Shooting may stop unexpectedly with some types of card or if you use a card whose memory has been fragmented by repeated shooting and erasure.
