∫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. 
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 
[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” 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.
 When there are many pictures on the 
card, it may take some time to transfer 
them. You may not be able to play back motion 
pictures on the card correctly when the 
camera is connected to a PC. Import the 
motion picture files to the PC and then 
play them back.
 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 
(P33), multi playback (P65) and calendar 
playback (P66).
 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. (DMC-FX3)
 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. (DMC-FX3)

∫Setting the date printing with the 
DPOF print in advance
We recommend setting DPOF date printing 
with [DPOF PRINT] (P83) in advance when 
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] (P82) 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.
