Panasonic DMC-FZ70: SD card error problem

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 10:10:57 -0700

I have a Panasonic DMC- FZ7. The problem is that I get a message come up saying that there is an error with the card and to check it. I have the SD card which it says is compatible in the manual. I put the card in my laptop and other camera and it works fine in them. But once I put it in this camera, it sort of freezes and doesn't let me go on the menu or take pictures or anything. After that, the error message comes up and I can't get rid of it.

Is it the camera or the card? And how can I fix it.

Things I've tried:

Formatting the card in my laptop

Resetting the camera

Neither worked.

Panasonic DMC-FZ70: Flash does not light up

Mon, 23 May 2022 11:15:10 -0700

I have a FZ72 (which is very similar to FZ70).

The flash does not work. If I open it, the camera recognises it and also preloads the flash. But if I press the button to take a photo, the picture is taken and no flash lights up.

I assume the cables could be broken, because for some time the flash only worked, if I pulled the case of it a bit backwards.

My question is, what is the tiny blue device behind the flashlight. Also there are 4 cables altogether. Which could be broken? Is it possible to fix it at all?

Panasonic DMC-FZ70: Lens not zooming in or out

Sat, 20 Jun 2020 23:09:55 -0700

I've been using my fz70 somewhat intensively for three years. Recently the lens has been failing to respond when the zoom lever is activated. Turning the camera on and off eventually resolves the issue, but my sense of it is that the lens mechanism itself is wearing out and about to fail permanently.

Replacing the camera appears to be the only reasonable option, but I would rather not if I can get more use out of it, as I am hoping to save enough for a more advanced camera with interchangeable lenses--and am not sure

Is this problem repairable--can the mechanism be lubricated somehow, for example? (I know how that sounds, but I'm just asking.)

Panasonic DMC-FZ70: Flash Fails to Charge and Gives "Please Turn Off Camera" Message

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 08:46:39 -0700

My DMC-FZ70 just started having issues with the flash over the past few days. Initially the Flash started doing an extra bright flash on the first picture after start up, but then things would be normal after words with the flash working as it normally would. However today I started it up once again had the ultra bright flash on my first shot then the flash failed to charge and began giving me the “Please Turn Off Camera and then on again” message if I left it open. If I’m not using the flash the camera is perfectly fine.

Basic questions are is there a way to pull an error code on the camera, are there any known issues with the built in flash, and could this potentially be the result of a bad battery.

Ordering a back up battery to see if that helps for now and an external flash as well just in case. However I really would like to try and trouble shoot this.

Panasonic DMC-FZ70: Press Red motion record button, nothing records; still pic only.

Fri, 01 Jun 2018 16:10:36 -0700

When trying to record a video on the camera, I press the "red motion button" and there is a time elapse that shows on the display screen. However, the SD icon on the left flashes, and when I end the recording and go to playback, only a still frame is there. No video. I've tried to format the SD card, replaced the SD card and nothing fixes the issue. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
