This English Language, 5.5 MB Adobe Acrobat PDF operating instructions handbook for the Panasonic DMC-TS2 / DMC-FT2 should prove to be a fantastic read, all 44 pages of it – be sure to download it.
The user manual is titled “Panasonic DMC-TS2 Basic Digital Camera Operating Instructions” (right-click and save the user guide to your hard drive).
If the download link for the TS2 / FT2 user manual didn’t work for you, go to the Operating Instructions download section for the TS2 and manually locate the download link for the file.
Alternatively, you could visit Panasonic UK for the more advanced version of the user guide, or to download the manual in other European languages.
Once you’re at the Panasonic UK site, enter DMCFT2 in the search box, hit Search, and click the View icon next to the manual you wish to download. After accepting the site’s Terms of Use, which appears in a new window, click the View button to begin the download.
As previously mentioned, the Panasonic UK site has an advanced version of the TS2 / FT2 documentation, titled “Panasonic DMC-FT2 Operating Instructions for advanced features”. Referring to the screen capture above, click on the second link (the one which says 15.0MB, or right-click and download from this direct link) to download the advanced manual. This PDF document is 15.8MB in size, and has 200 pages.
Unlike with Nikon, Panasonic allows you to freely print or copy portions from the DMC-TS2 owner’s handbook without building in any password protection into the PDF.
Both guides discuss the features of the TS2 / FT2, camera settings and tips on how to use the camera.
You’ll find details of compatible accessories for the TS2 on page 38 of the basic guide. Two examples are the 1.5-meter (RP-CDHM15 black) and 3.0-meter (RP-CDHM30 black, white) versions of the Panasonic Mini HDMI cables — these cables allow you to enjoy high quality pictures and motion pictures / videos / movie clips / footage on HDMI-compatible high definition TV sets.
