I **** having a problem with my DC=TZ220D in that when using it for normal quick photos on Intelligent Auto all recorded photos are videos MP4. I have searched the manual and can not see how this is occuring?
Photos are not recorded as MP4 videos by default. However, if the camera is in a video recording mode, such as 4K burst or motion picture mode, images may be saved as MP4 video files instead of still photos. The camera records motion pictures in MP4 format, and 4K burst mode captures continuous frames that can be extracted as still images. Check the camera settings to ensure it is set to capture still photos instead of video.
