I have no experience of that or any other Panasonic so I can only give my thoughts in general. When you set a shutter speed the camera should set the corresponding aperture to give a correct exposure automatically. I just wonder if you are setting such a high shutter speed that the necessary aperture for correct exposure is not available? The camera would do it's best to give the correct aperture but it would not allow enough light in so the picture would be underexposed therefore dark. So, what shutter speeds have you tried under what lighting conditions? What apertures are available? ie how fast is the lens?
