Problems are quite rare with Panasonic Lumix digital cameras, but on those occasions when you do have a problem, you may receive an error message or the camera may stop working for no apparent reason. The seven tips listed here should help you troubleshoot your Panasonic camera’s error messages.

If you see this error message with your Panasonic camera, the camera's internal memory is full or corrupted. Try downloading photos from the internal memory. If the error message continues to appear, you may need to format the internal memory.

Both error messages refer to the memory card, rather than the Panasonic camera. If you have an SD memory card, check the write-protect switch on the side of the card. Slide the switch up to unlock the card. If the error message continues to appear, the memory card may be corrupted and need to be formatted.

It is also possible that the memory card has been formatted with another device that is not compatible with Panasonic's file structure system. Format the card with your Panasonic camera to solve the problem. But be aware: formatting the card will erase all data stored on it.
