Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 Memory card
May 31, 2018 09:38:43 #
I just purchased a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60. The memory card that came with the camera is a SanDisk Extreme 90 mb/s SDHC -1 U3 C10 16GB Card.
I find that when I use the zoom the picture takes about 3 seconds before it gets transferred to the memory card and the picture at times is blurred.
I think the transfer rate of this card is too slow.
Can anyone make suggestions on how to improve this situation?
Are there faster transfer rate cards that I need to buy?
Thanks for all your help.

I can't see where the transfer (rate) to the card would have anything to do with a blurry image.

Blurred images normally are a low shutter speed or low ISO. Don't believe it has to do with your SD card. Can you post an example with download for more quantitative investigation?
Welcome to the forum.

These are 3 files that I selected that show the blurry results. Any advice on how to correct pictures when I use the zoom feature would be appreciated.
Also please advise if the memory card described in the original post should be upgraded.
Thank you.

You have a good SD card there, so that's not it. I think it would have to be something related to the current settings on your camera.

Well.. Maybe you can start by telling us the setting with which you took those and then we'll see what went wrong.
To be honest, I'm still learning and shoot most of my pics in Auto mode, but this data will be a solid basis for me or any other more experienced member to be able to help you.

I believe I either used the "Intelligent Auto" (Take pictures with automatic settings) or "Intelligent Auto Plus" (Allows you to adjust the brightness [exposure] and color hue as desired setting). I am not positive. Perhaps I should become more familiar with this camera and it's settings. This is a new camera.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I think you are right. I am trying to figure out how to control the shutter speed on this camera.
Thank you
Thank you

Assuming you have these on your computer, you should be able to right click on the file and then click Properties, then click Detail. May have to scroll down but that should give you your f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, and other info. That might help us here. That is the same SD card I use in one of my cameras and can't believe it is any of your problem.

If I have the right model - I was looking at one similar a friend had bought - just need to set to "S", then use your control to set speed. Window will show you your f-stop and go to red if speed is too fast for proper exposure. Then would need to adjust shutter speed.Yes, I think you are right.

Thank you Stardust.
I just tested your suggestion and will try using the "S" setting and manually adjust the Shutter Speed

There is your problem assuming these were hand held - 1/8 or 1/10 of a second shutter is impossible to get clear shots when at any zoom. You probably needed 1/100 minimum, 1/200 better, maybe 1/500 considering the lighting sources. Your aperture did not have to be that closed down for shots you were taking so that would have given you some speed without having to drop ISO, which will make your photos with more "noise". Think you actually solved your problem - need to spend more time learning your new camera and reading the manual. Good luck on shooting and welcome to UHH forums.I did look at the properties of each of the pictures above
