Need help with DMC FX500

Asparagus · 6th July 2008

Hi all,

I recently bought a DMC FX500 from Japan. Not surprisingly, I found out that the user manual as well as the camera operates in Japanese, something which I should have known but did not forsee. I've been unsuccessfully trying to get the thing working for the last 2 days and it is getting really frustrating.

Are there any DMC FX500 (or FX520) users out there who can assist me in changing the default language on the camera to English? I would also greatly appreciate if someone can help me to get a (photo-)copy of the instruction booklet in English too.

Please kindly send me a mail at cal_chan@hotmail.com if any kind soul has a solution to my problem.

Waiting anxiously for help

Thank you for the link.

It seems like the camera I bought doesn't have a English Language setup after all.
