SOURCE: If you zoom to less than 12x
The macro setting on the fz series allows you to get within a couple of centimeters of the subject and obtain focus. That is pretty close. That is too close. The camera will throw a shadow. You need some room. Most high zoom cameras (notably Olympus) have macro capabilty throughout the zoom which not only increases the magnification but also allows you (requires you) to put some distance between the lens and the subject. The panasonic fz series is different. They do not have macroability at zooms greater than 2x-3x. Beyond that there is no increase in magnification. Why? I dont know. Maybe this feature was designed on a Monday. Fortunately this can all be rectified with the use of a closeup lens. Now the fz series will react like most other high zoom cameras and do it well. The Olympus b-macro is such a lens. There are many others

Wet has affected the circuitry and could be progressive-[in which case there will be no repair option] best let the camera dry out in a warm place. Take batteries out and let it dry. You could help it along by putting the camera in a snap shut poly-bag with some rice or salt in a cloth/tissue tie to absorb any moisture. As regard the Digital zoom- strict speaking it has no value -it is simply magnifying the centre of the recorded image. rely on the optical zoom and print up bigger section for better clarity.

Two possibilities related to the amount of light reaching your camera sensor.
The sensitivity ISO is set too low, perhaps 200... set it higher, like 800 or 1600 ISO

Your "resolution" may be set too low, maybe 3 Megapixels. Set the resolution to at least 6 megapixels.

The Z612 works with MMC and SD cards. While SDHC cards will fit into the slot, they are electronically incompatible and won't work. You need to stay with SD cards, 2GB and smaller.
