2. Memory Card Locked or Memory Card Error
If any of these error messages appear on your Panasonic camera device then it is quiet self explanatory that the error is linked with your memory card instead of the camera device itself. If you have inserted a SD Memory Card you can view the switch for write protect present on the SD card. You must slide the switch upwards to activate the card. Even after this if the error appears then it is highly likely that your memory card has gone corrupt or must be formatted.
Ione reason could be that memory card was formatted on any other device which wasn’t compatible with Panasonic or its file systems. You then need to complete the formatting of your memory card on your Panasonic camera to get rid of the issue at hand however you must remember that if your format your SD card, all your images stored on it will be removed and cannot be retrieved back.
3. No Additional Selections Can Be Made Error

Once this limit has been reached you will not be able to label any other photo as “favorite” unless you unmark some of the images already assigned in “favorite”. You may also encounter this error message if you are attempting to delete more than 999 photos at the same time.
4. No Valid Picture Error

If you wish to retrieve this memory card, you will have to complete format it but this will remove all the images which are stored on it in a way that they can never be retrieved. Alternately you can insert the memory card in any other camera, device or PC and transfer all the images on it onto this device before you format your memory card while it is inside the Panasonic camera.
5. This Battery Cannot Be Used Error
This is that error message which indicates that you have been using a battery on your Panasonic camera that is not compatible with it or you have been using a battery with dirty contacts.
