How do I install firmware in my camera using an SD card?Digital Still Camera Firmware Update Guide.
1) Preparation before attempting the update.
A. Make sure the camera's battery is completely charged. If the battery is not completely charged the firmware update will not begin. Format the SD memory card in the camera, then take a couple of pictures.
B. Turn off the camera.
2) Copying the Firmware to your memory card.
A. Download the latest firmware update for your model by clicking on the "Download Ver. X.X " link to a location on your computer (we recommend the "Desktop").

Why am I having problems transferring photos via Wi-Fi directly to my computer?In the majority of cases the difficulty lies with the sharing attributes of the folder to which you are attempting to send photos to, and/or a mismatch in the computer's network name. First, check to see if you installed the PhotofunStudio software that came with your camera. During the installation, you will be asked if you want to create a "Lumix Share"folder. Answer "YES". This will automatically set the sharing attributes of this folder to allow sharing with an external device, the camera in this case. If you have not installed it, please install it now. Next, when Windows is installed it automatically creates a "workgroup"and gives it a default name of WORKGROUP. If the you changed this name, the camera must be changed to match the new name. This is done from the camera's Wi-Fi setup menu. Finally, after both of the above have been checked, please reset all the Wi-Fi settings back to their default values. Once this has been done, create a new connection.
