There's a firmware in English that can be downloaded via the Panasonic website. Can I download the English firmware &amp; change the menu/settings to Eng?

I found the firmware of DMC-ZS30 at http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/download/TZ40_TZ41_ZS30/index2.html. Can I use the firmware of DMC-ZS30 to apply into TZ40? If it allows to apply, then we can use English menu as ZS30 camera. Can we do this?

I purchased this version but because I could not find the way to change the manue to English I had to send it back. Eventually I purchased another model - hx50v in Israel that was already in English.

The camera I got came from Japan and everything was in Japanese. I tried to return it for a model with in camera instructions in English, but Amazon wouldn't accept it. There are instructions in Englishon the internet that you can download which helps but it is not the same as having a camera in English. I like the camera but unfortunately cannot use all the functions on it.

Everything, including the box was in Japanese. There was no US translation available for Panasonic's US Help Center nor was the exact same camera (at least that model number) available in the US when I did all this. I returned the camera.

I am not sure how to find the firmware version. The built in menu is in Chinese. The operating manual, which is in English does not mention the version.

RTFM- ever see that? There's ALWAYS a way to reset it to factory settings. Or, you could use your computer to google the phrases and translate them, online. I guess that would be too much work for you and you probably never thought about the possibility that it's not a product intended for the US market. You could always ask a gardener, cleaning woman or nanny to translate. You want a $45 DVD player to do all the work for you? Pathetic.

I called Panasonic yesterday and they said it will be released very shortly (2 days to 2 weeks). They are also mailing me the firmware. I guess TV can automatically pick up the update if it is connected.

The manufacturer site provides Korean updates. I contacted the seller and he provided a link to download the v2.02.100 English firmware and I've been running it for months successfully.

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!

My screen is in English and the manual is foreign. You can download a free manual in English from the Olympus site. Hope that helps.

Display can be set to English. I had to download the English manual off the internet. I came with the Japanese version.

The FZ200 (it is a great camera) which I purchased via Amazon has English language menus, but others have been offered there (from different suppliers) which have Japanese menus, so you have to read the wording VERY carefully before ordering.

My version does not, it has options for English, Deutsche, Spanish, French, Italian, and Korean. Maybe if you where to root it, and install a custom ROM on it then you might get that option, but as of current the Android community has not gotten a ROM that works proper that I know of anyways, and beside the ROM on this is pure CRAP!! it's buggy, the time does not always sync right, apps crash, SD card issues, and just generally not a good Phone because of it's ROM, build wise though it's a solid phone for the price, but overall best too stay away from this one, and go with something like one of the Huawei models which seem to have a more stable ROM from all I have read, I've not been able to try out one of the Huawei phones yet, but plane to do so later this year when I get the extra cash. Good Luck on finding a phone.

You could try changing the region on the box to 0 - all regions. I tossed the Panasonic in the trash, upgraded the firmware on an old Sony blu ray I had and it works Great.

You can change the language. I believe you can select your language when you install it.
