Restoring Scene Files On Dial To Factory Settings

[David Saraceno]

I've read the manual, and it only works now then.

You can use SCENE FILE -> INIT to restore any individual scene file to its factory default.

However, when I go through each one on the wheel separately, not all of them restore.

For example, 1 is SCENE, and I have FLUO, SPARK, B-STR, CORAL, AND CINEMA D.

There is no SD in the slot, and I have gone through for changing B-STR (scene file 4) to the factory default:

SCENE FILE
SAVE/INIT
choose INITIAL
choose YES --------->PUSH STILL
i push the middle button STILL and it stays the same B-STR

what's up doc?

You have a little hole "RESET" near the shutter button...

 

[David Saraceno]

Yep, but the manual says don't use it unless the cam is functioning properly.

It is functioning properly.

I think that you can try RESET. Panasonic want say "Don't use it or you will lose all personal parameters"...

INIT only resets the currently selected setting, and while I haven't tried this, it is possible that you will have to SAVE it again to commit it back to the non-volatile memory.

If my assumption is correct and you don't SAVE and switch to MCR mode or turn the camera off, your old settings that were previously saved in the non-volatile memory would reappear.
