I see the answer above says menus are in Japanese only, but the manual says you can select the menu languages. This camera differs from the manual?

You can try. Press menu button (bottom left), scroll to last option (looks like a suitcase), press enter (nob center wheel), scroll to second option, press enter, scroll to third option, choose language from drop down list. Best of luck.

If this camera is manufactured for Japan or is being sourced from Japan then yes. The camera would differ from the manual. I hope that helps.I a separate note, i use the Sony rx100 now and will advise you to ditch the super zooms for this. The super zoom invariably kills pic quality.

I assume I received one made for Japan, since the box had mostly Japanese language on it with smaller English writing. Nevertheless, when you first power up the camera, it asks you what language to use. The English on the screens/camera guide is grammatically correct and I haven't had any issues with language/compatibility. I just got back from an EPIC trip to New Zealand and this camera performed superbly! GPS tagging/logging during hikes/wifi transfer worked great. Oh yeah; it took excellent pictures/panoramas/movies. I would definitely recommend this camera for world adventures.

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.

That was a unit I never purchased so I really don't have the answer for you. Sorry.

It does differ from the manual. My Japanese friend tried to change the language but for some reason by default it only had the Japanese language option. I ended up returning it.

When setting up it asks you for desired language, I choose English so all menus/displays are in English. I would assume if you choose Japanese all is display as such.

The printed instructions are in Japanese. However, there's a perfectly good Help Guide in English on the Sony UK site. Look under Support, then enter the model number.

NO ..... and I need it translated...................I only have 'figured out' a few instructions so far...............BUT I really LIKE the CAMERA so far. If you find one let me know....THX......My MENU has NO ENGLISH option.......... and what I have translated is not a good translatable understanding. I 'understand' there are TWO cameras..........one is Engish, etc. translatable the other is not. I apparently have the Non-English.

Currently they only sell this in Japan..... They will start selling this camera in the states (or your country) in 2014.if you buy this item from this seller now, they ship you directly from Japan....thats why they say import model.i bought it from them months ago, fast ship and item as is described.

Yes. Manual and camera are the U.S. model, unless you are ordering it in directly from a Japanese retailer. All of the Amazon U.S. based retailers will sell you the U.S. version of the camera.

No. This appears to be Japanese only. I was able to find an English version of the user manual, but the button it describes for selecting the Language option is NOT actually present on the camera. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMC3D1_ADV.PDF There are pretty good icons, so you can figure out about 60% of it without any knowledge of Japanese, but if you have a problem (like a memory card I tried which wouldn't work), you are stuck with no way to understand the issue or how to fix it. Disappointing, to say the least.

I wish I knew. I asked this of Fujifilm and got no reply in a month. I should have contacted the seller and demand to know before I bought (but didn't think of it). The printed manual is all in Japanese, but the camera menus are in English and the English manual is online. The camera is great, so far, producing fabulous shots with all the control I needed. Don't like having to remove the battery to recharge, fear something might break, but so far OK. Yes it ships immediately, but doesn't arrive for &gt;week since it ships from Japan. Seems like these details should be required by Amazon before listing.

I have never tried to access the other menus. Or at least I don't remember as it's been a awhile. The camera defaults to camcorder once it's turned on. You might want to cycle through the menu a few times to see if you can locate the other commands that you're interested in.

you can install english UI when installing. It only contains japanese voicebank.

The following instructions are all given assuming that you are looking at the back of the camera. While the camera is on, press the TOP LEFT (OK) button once to stop recording. Then press the BOTTOM LEFT (Mode) button Twice, this brings you to the menu. Press the TOP RIGHT (Up) button Once, then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button Once to switch to the Settings tab. Once on the Settings tab press the BOTTOM RIGHT (Down) button Once. Then press the TOP LEFT (OK) button UNTIL you see the language you desire displayed on the screen (the whole menu changes language as you cycle through the options). I'm giving you these instructions out of memory, so if it doesn't work, let me know and I'll verify the steps with my cam.

Hello, This product is a Japanese model. However, it is possible to switch the language to English. It is selling well all over the world, but everyone is able to use it without a problem. Manuals and Package are written in Japanese. I hope this information will be helpful. We hope that we can be of service to you in the future. Thank you very much. J-Made

My Sony Alpha a5000 do have Chinese Menu. But, you must be careful if it is a version export to Europe/USA only - NO Chinese. It is a high quality camera which I like it very much. Or, you should buy it in Hong Kong, so it will definitely have Chinese Language.

There are only two language options with this camera: English or Chinese. The appearance of Korean in USB mode may be something to do with your computer operating system.

I just received mine, and it's Japanese-only. The title and description of this product fails to mention that. I'm returning it right away. I hadn't read the customer comments, because I know this camera, and didn't need further review, although that way I could have suspected this deceit, and avoided this seller.

Thank you for your question.But we don't know it..Japanese menu must be in it.
