Hello! My question is: is there a options to choose the menu language in this camera?

I just looked at the languages offered in my camera. The choices that were listed were English, French, Sapnish, Italian, and two character sets I didn't recognize. I'm going to guess one is Japanese and the other I won't guess about. I hope this helps.

Absolutely ! go to the main menu then go to the #3 after the little wrench icon, click on it, the first option is the language option there are five languages to chose at least in my model...see yaaa!!

I believe there are. I do not have the camera with me at work, however there are set up options. If you want to be sure, contact Sony. They were very helpful when I purchased my camera.

Yes, this is an international version, so you get English, Spanish, Chinese, French and couple of other languages. The one sold in Japan will not have this option and is locked to Japanese only. I don't know why Sony does it, but it's very annoying and is not friendly to foreign residents in Japan.

Turn ON the camera. Click MENU, then click MENU a second time and a second menu will come up. At the top is the setting for LANGUAGE. Use the JOY STICK to select the language and other setting you want.

The printed instruction manual is in Japanese, but an English language pdf is available online. But the menus on the camera itself are in Japanese also, and these cannot be changed to English. I contacted Panasonic representatives in both the UK and the US and confirmed this.

You can change the language. I believe you can select your language when you install it.

It is just a matter of setting up your camera to English or whatever language you want. Press the Menu button, bottom left. Scroll down to "ABOUT" Press on that with the same scroll down button. Then scroll down to Language. Press OK and select your language. English is the first selection. When selected press OK and you can then press Menu again and you are back and ready to shoot.

If you order from a vendor in Japan you may get a camera with a Japanese manual and the menu on the camera in Japanese. Be sure you order a camera with an English menu. I had to return my first camera and was refunded. It is a very good camera.

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.

It's all in Chinese or Russian. Look for the little icon that looks like someone is speaking (like a head with a cartoon bubble). Click on it and all of the languages should appear. Select "English" and "enter". This should help. After that, set your camera to whatever settings you desire. I leave mine plugged in all the time. I have had issues when it won't turn on but after a few minutes plugged in, it should start by itself. And make sure you have a good mini-SD card!

Unfortunately no Russian menu. It has 11 menu language and it's very easy to change the language. You tape on MENU and then on SETTINGS. The first line is OSD LANGUAGE and you can makeyour choice

I contacted the seller. It is in Japanese. There is no ability to change to any other language. The text on the camera is in English and it ocassionally shows up on some of the menus intermixed with Japanese. Many menus are only Japanese.

I got a South American model by accident. Oh well, no problem as long as I have problems. As for the menus, there is a choice for Japanese in the Language list. However, all the camera buttons are marked in Roman characters like AF, etc. As for an instruction manual, I had to download an English version from the Panasonic web site. I am guessing you could download a Japanese version from there also. I like the camera a lot. It is the perfect travel companion. I will get a 3rd party flash for it as the Panasonic one is too expensive. The pop up flash is too limited (too slow and too much redeye) as I take a lot of indoor shots.

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.

Turn unit on. Press MENU until you see LANGUAGE on second item. Use DOWN key to high lite LANGUAGE. Use the RECORD or RED button to select SETUP. Then simply select ENGLISH. Remember the items at the very bottom of the screen denote the functions of the two buttons on camera body. Not the screen buttons. Hope this helps.
