Switch on your Panasonic Lumix camera. It turns on and stands ready for your instructions. You wish to reset it back to default settings, and you know right where to go. No guessing required; the menu system make sense.
Hit the menu button. You will see a number of options on your screen. Navigate over to Settings tab. There you have it, the reset option. It’s not buried, nor should it be difficult to locate.
Then go into Settings and select Reset. The LCD display a new screen. Yes, it says confirm.
What gets reset
What gets reset. Recording settings, yes. And drive mode. But Profile Setup isn’t affected. Or Face Recognition. Those aren’t things you’d want to lose. Those are custom settings. It’s not a complete wipe.
This decision is binary. Yes or No? Think it through. You may need to reset the drive mode. You don’t want settings from before that will screw up things now.
Be ready. Command the camera. It’s waiting for you. It doesn’t do an auto-timer. You get time to make up your mind.
Tap Yes. A moment later, the screen blink. The camera gets the request and resets itself back to normal.
Your drive settings is gone. Your recording preference are back again. The data in Face Recognition is unaffected. Profile Setup is untouched. It’s a selective reset that only do what you need it to. No need to spend time reconfiguring everything else.
Then test it out. It takes pictures fine, the menu looks good. There’s no residual configuration settings still present. A selective reset worked. Whatever was wrong before has been fixed.
Now your Panasonic Lumix can be used for photography. Simple enough. Just follow the road. No need to a manual. It’s better than you thinked it would be. Your camera should of felt more comfortabley once reset.
