This could be any of hundreds of different faults so I'll give you the ones you can check yourself. One or more of your batteries are faulty. The battery contacts are dirty. The batteries are inserted wrongly. You have a problem with the lens mechanism. Shake camera and listen for anything rattling around. If metal it could short anything out. Check your troubleshooting chart in your user's manual. Google for "Panasonic Lumix LZ2 problems" Is the power switch feeling as if it's actually switching. Has the camera been dropped or given swimming lessons. Check all your switches to make sure nothing is disabled. Apart from these it's impossible to say what's wrong. A trip to a repair shop may be in order.

there should be a button on the camera that says "disp" this stands for display and when you hit that button you should see the image and if you hit it again it will go black again so you can control whether you want see it or not

my camera works but it has a black screen fore a pick but show the menu and stuff

Warning: This is only a last resort if you no longer have a warranty.I used a variety of different methods, but here's what worked for my camera. Apparently the lens was just off the track.1. Turn on the camera, and smack the back against the palm of your hand to get the lens to come out.2.Hold the lens out until the "error screen" comes up.3. Take the camera with the lens facing towards you, and use your thumbs to push on the lens.4. Push firmly until the lens "clicks".5. Turn off camera, then on again.6. Hopefully cry tears of joy that you fixed it.

Solution: Turn the camera on. Put it into camera mode so the lens opens. Then push up on the underside of the lens, you'll see the screen light up and it can now take pictures. This worked for me for a month or two. The problem is that I have to keep pushing harder and harder to get it to turn on, and now it turns back off as soon as I stop pushing. So I have to get a new camera. This is a widespread problem with this camera. I previously paid Panasonic the $162 to fix the zoom freezing up. I'm not paying again.

You don't need to install your camera.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

Try these procedures.

The date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every picture in its EXIF metadata. Any photo viewing/editing program should be able to display this data. To print this data, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your pictures. Depending on the program and printer you may print the date on the image, in the margins, or on the back.

Standard AA's also have current capacity limits. When you buy them have to check to make sure its fresh alkaline battery 1.5 v LR6 ?

Go to the camera's Menu and scroll through the settings to format the memory card.
