The bit about the batteries is interesting; thanks for sending it in.
From what Panasonic have stated, it seems to suggest that there is a difference between Panasonic batteries and ones of an identical chemistry from other battery manufacturers. Does this camera require any type of battery other than what you and I would call an 'ordinary' battery? Is the Panasonic battery something strange - say its voltage, current capability, physical size or shape? Do you have any idea as to what the difference is between Panasonic and non-Panasonic batteries, so that the 'non-Panasonic battery detection' software works as Panasonic wishes it to behave?
I'm intrigued.
