Q&A Troubleshooting
GPS (continued)
Positioning takes time.
●
When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several
minutes.
●
Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites
change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.
→ Positioning can be executed faster when you download GPS assist data to the camera using the
“GPS Assist Tool”. (→141)
●
Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS
satellites. (→128)
The location name information is different from the recording location.
●
Immediately after the camera’s power is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than
, the location name information that is recorded in the camera may vary significantly from the
current position.
●
When is displayed for the location name information, the information can be changed to a
different candidate before starting to record. (→136)
●
You can edit a place name or landmark name recorded in a picture.
The location name information is not displayed.
●
“- - -” is displayed if there is no nearby landmark or other points, or no information registered in the
camera’s database. (→131)
→ During playback, a location name or other information can be entered with [Edit Place Name].
(→138)
Map
Cannot display detailed maps.
●
Use the “LUMIX Map Tool” software on the DVD (supplied) to copy map data from the DVD. (→150)
Some place names are not displayed.
●
Detailed maps are displayed when you copy map data from the DVD (supplied). (→150)
(Note, however, that not all place names are stored in the DVD.)
●
Place names may not be displayed for some map scale settings.
→ Enlarge the map scale.
It takes time to copy the map data.
●
Since the map data size is large, it may take time to copy the map data. We recommend copying the
map data of a required area only.
●
When you copy map data by connecting the camera to the computer, it may take longer than the
time required for copying the data using the commercially available card reader/writer.
Recording
Cannot record pictures.
●
REC/PLAY switch is not set to (record).
●
Built-in memory/card is full. → Free space by deleting unwanted pictures (→49).
Recorded pictures look white.
●
Lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.).
→ Turn on power to extract lens barrel, and clean lens surface with a soft, dry cloth.
●
Lens is foggy (→6).
Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark.
●
Adjust the exposure (→71).
●
[Min. Shtr Speed] is set to fast speed. Check the setting (→102).
