My question: I bout a lumix dmc tz10 digital camera in japan and I esk you if I can change the language (japan to english or german or portuguese). Must I introduce a new firmware if exist?

How to change japanese to english language in Lumix dmc zx3 camera change...

Press and hold the Q.MENU button until the menu comes up, select the wrench icon, then select the talking head icon. You can select English, but Portugese is not an option on this camera.

It can be changed in the "setup" menu. You probably will have to scroll through the sub-menus to find the word "english". Click on it and the "set" button.

Welcome to Fixya!

there are 2 menus - a simple one ( has a red

heart ) and the one with the language option :

( in Japanese mode , all items are in - duh -

Japanese ) so press the menu ( center ) button

until the last selection . . . the last item is

language ;


best Regards

Since we both cannot read Japanese, it may be necessary to simply go to what looks like the menu options and mess with it until it changes language. As long as you are in menu options, you will find the language option listed. Just fiddle with it as much as you can under settings. Once it is in english you may revery changes effortlessly :)
please let me know if this helps, I only get paid if you let me know I fixed the problem!

On most Lumix cameras, go into the setup menu and it's the next to last entry...."language". Click on the entries in the sub-menu until you see the wore "english".

The only solution is to learn japanese. I asked at the store - since the prices are considerably lower than in Europe - and was told by the competent clerk that only some Sony and Cannon cameras have a dual mode, i.e. Japanese and English
Good Luck
