CrossLoop is a free remote assistance software program that allows you to remotely access another user’s computer from your own computer, over the Internet. Using CrossLoop, you can help another user to solve their computer problem, by controlling their computer from your own. The user in need of some help, or the “Needy-User”, shares their screen with you, the “Helper”, and allows the you to control their computer’s mouse movements, as if you were physically in front of the Needy-User’s computer. This way, instead of spending a lot of time instructing the Needy-User on how to solve their computer issue, you can just fix it for them.

Depending on how you use the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 camera , in certain lighting conditions, you may notice that yellow spots (or yellow blotches) can appear on your photos. Perhaps not many ZS3 owners notice though, or at least it seems that this yellow spot issue does not bother or impact most Panasonic ZS3 owners, since there is not much discussion about the issue online.
To those owners that do notice, it can be a fairly significant annoyance. But these yellow spots can be largely fixed by using some freely available software. This issue has also been seen in other cameras, so the solution described here can apply to photos taken with many other cameras as well.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 (also known as DMC-TZ7) can record 720p HD video in the AVCHD Lite video format (1280 x 720), with the ".mts" file extension, which has no time limit on video length and which has file sizes much smaller than the alternative Motion JPEG format.
To edit AVCHD Lite video (.mts), it is easier to first convert a copy of the video to an AVI file (.avi). This is easier because there are not a lot of software options available to edit ".mts" files, and some computers may not be able to play back ".mts" files very smoothly.
For some computers, converting AVCHD Lite video from an MTS file to an AVI file can give smoother and sharper video playback, even if you do not intend to edit the video.

In Windows Vista, you may have experienced that when you use “Hibernate” mode, your system may wake up or resume unexpectedly.
