Panasonic DMC-FZ200: LCD backlight not working.

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 23:45:13 -0700

I am trying to fix the backlight on the LCD of my Lumix DMC-FZ200. I have used a multi meter to check for voltage on pin 6 of connector FP9003 based on page 57 of the Panasonic service guide. I am not seeing any voltage on pin 6, I am thinking that the backlight fuse has blown but seem to be struggling to find where the fuse is located on the main board. I am quite new to this so really hoping someone can possibly point me in the right direction. Thank you.

When I start my camera the lens extract to a maximum, tries to focus, then the lens closes and an error message appears on the screen "System Error (Focus)".

Can anybody help me on that issue?

Thanks a lot...

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 01:10:06 -0700

Here are two photos : one with a connector ( censor ?) that comes from the lens assembly, but don’t know where it comes from … the other one is the lens assembly.

If you indicate me where the censor comes from that would be very useful !!

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7: Screen not displaying anything

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 15:28:31 -0700

I've just bought a second-hand Lumix G7, and the screen is not displaying. The camera is otherwise functioning fine - I can view everything through the EVF, but the display is completely black. I've tried the Fn5/LVF button, reset the camera settings, changed the eye sensor sensitivity, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! :)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000: Eliminating grinding noise from video capture?

Sat, 20 Sep 2025 02:13:08 -0700

the noise is a problem (you will find other posts about the noise of this camera) because it can be heard in video playback, making it un-usable for film-making. i would like to know how people have solved this problem. i already purchased an external rode video microphone and attached it to the top of the camera - but unfortunately it also picks up the grinding sounds because it is close to the camera and the noise is still loud enough to interfere. i want to be able to shoot handheld without carrying another microphone or needing an additional person to carry a microphone. if there is someone who found a mic that works, tell me !

My FZ1000 makes a grinding noise when I turn it on. It doesn’t do anything besides that annoying noise, as if it’s locked up.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH27: My LUMIX camera us stating “System zoom error”

I found my camera which I haven’t used in years. I charged the battery and put it in the camera. When I went to put it on it says set clock and then goes to system zoom error. I removed the card and battery for 10 minutes and replaced them both. The same thing happened.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX100: Can you clean the image sensor?

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 14:20:01 -0700

I would like to know if anyone has tried cleaning the sensor on this camera. I love it but somehow it got dust all over the sensor, and not just a little bit either. I was taking pictures for about 3 weeks before I noticed the same black spot in every single one. (I don't download my pics often, I have a big SD card.)

My camera is still under warranty so I've sent it off to their service center in Texas. But it's been about a month since I've seen my camera. And I'm apparently not the most organized person in the world since it took me about two weeks to do the following:

I called them,
got the information on the support options,
printed out a letter and proof of purchase,
packaged everything up,
drove around with it in my car without mailing it
finally mailed it with insurance and delivery confirmation.

So that's been about 6 weeks. I would much prefer to take it apart and sandpaper or gently brush the sensor off in a cardboard box with an air filter (or whatever the clean requirements are) and spend maybe 2 or 4 hours of sweating bullets instead of twiddling my thumbs for 6+ weeks.

I know from other forums that this isn't an uncommon problem. You can find a few results by googling "dust sensor lx100".

Thanks -- J

Camera is useless because it doesn't recognize an SD card. I've tried many different cards. I've removed the battery for a length of time and nothing works.

Any other suggestions?

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX100: Losing date and time when main battery removed

When I recharge my battery the camera loses the date and time. All other functions appear to work. When the date and time is reset it is correct until the battery is removed again. Can this be fixed easily?
