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.

No. All of the menus are in Japanese and there is no way to change to English.

I believe so, when I configured the one I bought, I chose English, but the product is most probably of Chinese origin so I would suspect that they'd have that language in the settings.

On the item page, the second image comes with notes saying that if you push the "utility" button then push the third button down at the right side of the display twice. The unit will be set to the english mode.

As a default on my unit, the voice prompts are in English, but it is also available in Chinese by changing the setting in the Menu.

Yes. Most newer devices with electronic display options include a Spanish language setting.

There is a mode button which you need to click on until you are given to choose language. No the camera can be difficult to start, but I have two of them and so far so good.

The camera came pre-set to Japanese. The supplier I used provided instructions for changing the language to English. It was pretty easy. There is a language selection item within the menu items. Just change to English and everything converts.

Luckily, the settings screens stay the same no matter what language soi pulled up settings and worked down to just under the security icon and taped that. If you have another Android phone it helps. The first entry on the next screen should say espanol, tap that and select English.

Mine is in English. I believe there are other languages that you can select on the Settings menu, but the unit I bought was in English by default.

I think you need to go to the camera and push the menu button on the wire lead. then run through the menu till you find language , select English, all the while you are doing this you need to be able to monitor what you are doing, hard to do outside, so bring camera inside by your monitor
