Panasonic Digital Camera Dmc Tz1 Operating Instructions

							Menu Settings

 If you copy picture data from the built-in memory to a card, we recommend using a 
card which has more free space than the 
built-in memory (about 13.4 MB).
 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. (P84)
 If a picture with the same name as the  picture to be copied exists in the copy 
destination, the picture will not be copied.
 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.
Press [ ] to display the [PLAY] mode 
menu and select the item to set. (P80)
Usually, it is not necessary to format the 
built-in memory and the card. Format them 
when the message [BUILT-IN MEMORY 
ERROR] or [MEMORY CARD ERROR] 
appears.
Press 3 to select [YES] and then 
press [MENU/SET].
(The illustration shows the screen when 
the built-in memory is formatted.)  When a card is not inserted, you can 
format the built-in memory. When a 
card is inserted, you can format the 
card.
 If you press [MENU/SET] while  formatting the built-in memory, the 
formatting will stop halfway. (However, 
all the pictures will be deleted.)
 Formatting irretrievably deletes all the data including any protected pictures. 
Check the data carefully before 
formatting.
 If the card has been formatted on a PC or 
other equipment, format it on the camera 
again.
 Use a battery with sufficient battery power 
(P13) or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; 
optional) when formatting.
 Do not turn the camera off during 
formatting.
 It may take longer to format the built-in  memory than the card. (Max. about 
15 sec.)
 You cannot format an SD Memory Card  when the card’s write protect switch is set 
to [LOCK].
 If the built-in memory or the card cannot  be formatted, consult your nearest 
servicenter.

∫Conditions under which a different 
folder number is used
In the following cases, the picture is not 
recorded in the same folder as the 
previously recorded picture. It is recorded 
in a folder with a new number. 
1 When the folder just recorded to contains 
a picture file with the number 999 in it 
(example: P1000999.JPG).
2 When the card just recorded to contains, 
for example, a folder with the number 
100 (100_PANA) in it and that card is 
removed and replaced with a card that 
has a folder with the number 100 in it 
recorded by a camera from a different 
maker (100XXXXX, with XXXXX being 
the name of the maker) and then a 
picture is recorded.
3 When recording after selecting 
[NO.RESET] (P22) from the [SETUP] 
menu. (Pictures will be recorded to a 
new folder with a number sequential to 
the folder recorded to immediately 
before. By using [NO.RESET] on a card 
that does not contain folders or pictures, 
such as one just formatted, the folder 
number can be reset to 100.)
∫ PictBridge (PTP) setting
Even if you set [USB MODE] to 
[PictBridge (PTP)], you can connect to your 
PC if the OS is Windows XP Home Edition/
Professional or Mac OS X.
 Pictures can only be read on the camera.  They cannot be written to a card or 
deleted.
 When there are 1000 or more pictures on  a card, the pictures may not be imported.
 Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection  cable while [ACCESS] is displayed.
 If battery power is exhausted while the  camera and the PC are communicating, 
the recorded data may be damaged. 
When you connect the camera to the PC, 
use a battery with sufficient battery power 
(P13) or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5; 
optional).
 If the remaining battery power becomes 
low while the camera and the PC are 
communicating, the status indicator blinks 
and the alarm beeps. In this case, stop 
the communication at once on the PC.
 When connecting the camera to a  Windows 2000 OS PC with the USB 
connection cable, do not replace the 
card while the camera and the PC are 
connected. The information on the card 
may be damaged. Disconnect the USB 
connection cable before replacing the 
card.
 Pictures edited or rotated with a PC may  be displayed in black in playback mode 
(P34), multi playback (P66) and calendar 
playback (P67).
 For information about this, refer to the  separate operating instructions for PC 
connection.
 Read the operating instructions for the  PC.
 If a card is not inserted when the camera  is connected to the PC, you can edit or 
access the pictures on the built-in 
memory. If a card is inserted, you can edit 
or access the pictures on it.
 You cannot switch between the built-in  memory and the card while the camera is 
connected to the PC. When you want to 
switch between the built-in memory and 
the card, disconnect the USB connection 
cable, insert (or remove) the card and 
then connect the USB connection cable to 
the PC again.

the printer supports it. If you select 
[DPOF PICTURE], printing starts and the 
recording date is printed.
∫ Layout printing
 When printing a picture several times  on 1 sheet of paper
For example, if you want to print a picture 
4 times on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[NUM. OF PRINTS] to 4.
 When printing different pictures on 1 sheet of paper (only in DPOF printing)
For example, if you want to print 4 different 
pictures on 1 sheet of paper, set 
[PAGE LAYOUT] to [ ] and then set 
[COUNT] in [DPOF PRINT] (P84) to 1 for 
each of the 4 pictures.
 Do not disconnect the USB connection cable 
when the cable disconnection warning icon 
[ ] is displayed. (Depending on the 
printer, the icon may not be displayed.)
 If the remaining battery power becomes low while the camera and the printer are 
connected, the status indicator blinks and 
the alarm beeps. If this happens during 
printing, press [MENU/SET] and stop 
printing at once. If not printing, disconnect 
the USB connection cable.
 The camera is receiving an error message 
from the printer when the [ ¥] indication 
lights orange during printing. After 
finishing printing, make sure there are no 
problems with the printer.
 If the total number of DPOF prints or the  number of DPOF pictures printed is high, 
pictures may be printed several times. The 
remaining number of prints indicated may 
differ from the number set. This is not a 
malfunction.
 With date printing, the setting on the  printer may take priority over the setting 
on the camera. Check the date print 
setting on the printer also.
Settings on the printer are 
prioritized.
