Zoom 1x to 3x sounds like the limits of optical zoom. The other zoom option may be digital zoom, which merely interpolates pixels to give the impression of a larger picture, and, as you reach the limit of the zoom, the picture quality may be so degraded that the image is unusable.

When using different lenses, a few things should be kept in mind.For some you need an adapter and not every lens ail work as the lenses made for this camera. Sometimes focus or other things needs to be set manually. So even when you can connect a lens to the camera you don't have any guaranty it will work fully automatic and correct. Please read the manual tag came with your camera, about the differences between the four thirds cameras and lenses.

Try NOT connecting your camera to your computer.
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.

Yes, see the corrupted card procedures in this link.

You'll first need to upload your photos from your Lumix to your computer. From there, you can go to various programs or websites to "crop" your photo and trim it up.

You can go to Paint and crop your photo, Windows Picture Viewer allows you to edit the photo while viewing it, and many sites such as picnik.com and photobucket.com allow you to edit and crop your photos on their site.

Welcome to FixYa,

In order for you to have a date printed on your picture, we need to verify first what is the exact brand and model name of luminx DC.

Since I dont have the exact model name and brand of your luminx camera. I have here a manual of Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100K. In this manual, you can find on page 55 on how to set up the date and time in which day of the vacation you take the picture. You can also have the DATE STAMP option where you can print the date on the picture. You can found it on page 82.

I gave this manual to you because some panasonic luminx digital cameras has sometimes same features. You just have to click on this link.

I hope this manual can help you on your issues.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Take a look at the memory card. SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.

From the Playback menu, select "COPY".
