other equipment, format it on the camera 
again.
 Use a battery with sufficient battery power 
or the AC adaptor (DMW-AC5PP; 
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 or 
an SDHC Memory Card when the card’s 
Write- Protect switch A is set to [LOCK].

in a folder with a new number. 
1When the folder just recorded to 
contains a picture file with the number 
999 in it (example: P1000999.JPG).
2When 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.
3When recording after selecting

such as one just formatted, the folder 
number can be reset to 100.)
