Cry. Check with Panny to see if there is any sort of reset that you can perform to the camera to restore operation. If nothing , then your camera has died prematurely. Not a good thing but it happens.

i don't think Panasonic designs its camera to be charged via USB. You will need a actual charger to charge up your camera. this link should help

It doesn't sound like the aperture to me.That would either make it too light or too dark,but I've never heard of it doing both.Double check your settings. I've had problems when I changed a setting,then forgot to reset it back. Also the cameras with a small sensor usually have a small range of f stops,so it shouldn't cause that much of a problem.It could also be the shutter.

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

When in Any auto mode or P or A your camera automatically will adjust your shutter speed for ambient light conditions. So if your having issues where your camera is choosing to slow a shutter speed and you photos are coming out blurry then there isn't enough light either because other settings in the camera are limiting light or where ever you are taking photos is poorly lit. Setting your ISO Higher should allow the camera to increase the shutter speed, but will often introduce noise to your photos. The more you play with your camera and learn digital photography the more you'll understand how to make your photos the best they possibly can be. For the time being if getting a no blurr shot is key put your camera in S mode which means shutter priority this will allow you to control and lock your shutter speed and set your ISO to auto this will force the ISO and Aperture to change instead of your shutter speed to get a good photo.

I typed Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 manual into google and up came a pdf i downloaded it and find it hard to follow too. Perhaps change to S (shutter priority) then see what options come up

Possible that the CCD- the charge coupled device which is the optical sensor is damaged as an exposure to very bright light can cause the CCD to burn off. You need to get this confirmed with a consensus, check if the pirtures are having this spot , if so the possibility if high. Otherwise it can be due to fault in the LCD display.

Having gone two months without a reply to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

usually the manufacturers have the correct disc. they can send you a new copy if you didnt get the correct disc to begin with. or try their tech support web page.
