Why do black/blue/red/green dots or interference appears on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Digital Camera? Why does monitor looks distorted when touched?
The appearance of black, blue, red, or green dots or interference, and the monitor looking distorted when touched, is not a fault and will not be recorded on the actual pictures, so there is no need to worry.
Why is my Panasonic Digital Camera monitor too bright/too dark?
To adjust the brightness of your Panasonic Digital Camera monitor, use the ‘MONITOR’ setting.
Why does a reddish vertical line (smear) appear during recording on my Panasonic Digital Camera?
The reddish vertical line (smear) that appears during recording is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if the subject contains brighter areas. It is recommended to keep the screen away from strong light sources such as sunlight when taking pictures.
Why do recorded pictures appear coarse, or why is there interference on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3?
If your recorded pictures appear coarse, or there is interference, it could be because the ISO sensitivity is high, or the shutter speed is low. Try lowering the ‘SENSITIVITY’. Also, if the camera is set to ‘HIGH SENS.’ or ‘HI-SPEED BURST’ scene modes, set ‘COLOR MODE’ to ‘NATURAL’ or take pictures in brighter locations.
Why can't I view pictures on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3?
If you cannot view pictures on your Panasonic Digital Camera, make sure the REC/PLAY switch is set to the play position. Also, if the camera is set to ‘CATEGORY PLAY’ or ‘FAVORITE PLAY’, set the playback mode to ‘NORMAL PLAY’.
How do I fix a Panasonic Digital Camera that cannot record pictures?
If your Panasonic Digital Camera is unable to record pictures, ensure that the REC/PLAY switch is set to the record position. Additionally, check if the built-in memory or card is full. If it is, you’ll need to free up space by deleting unwanted pictures.
What to do if my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 switches off as soon as power is turned on?
If your Panasonic Digital Camera switches off immediately after turning it on, the battery likely needs recharging. Another possible cause is that the camera is set to ‘POWER SAVE’. In this case, press the shutter button halfway to release it.
