Trying to connect my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42 to 3 different laptops I get the same error message “Picture is displayed for 4:3 TV for 16:9 Setup or TV Aspect” symbols appear. We used to be able to upload fine - why the problem now? Without lead connected I can take photos, as soon as lead plugged into camera (not necessarily into PC) get this error message. Please help!
Jo Howman, the owners manual describes this error as follows;" PICTURE IS DISPLAYED FOR 4:3 TV]/[PICTURE IS DISPLAYED FOR 16:9 TV • The AV cable is connected to the camera. Press [MENU/SET] if you want to delete this message at once. Select [TV ASPECT] in the [SETUP] menu to change the TV aspect. (P27) • This message also appears when the USB connection cable is connected to the camera only. In this case, connect the other end of the USB connection cable to a PC or a printer. (P96, 99) The setup for the aspect ratio is well described in the manual. you can download it from here. Hope this helps, good luck.
