Proima lx2, darkening of the image and slight shake

Hello I got one with broken lens (grinding cogs) : otherwise P'fect could we organise something ?Pete Cooper.

Hi,
It sounds like you should check the lamp to see if it has too many hours on it. The bulb should look pretty clear & round without bulging & dark spots or fogging. If it has a lot of hours it needs to be replaced. It may also be a fan that is not turning on or is not turning fast enough. Use canned air & while unplugged spray the fans to make them spin fast. You can use a flashlight to try & locate the fans behind the vented areas arount the case. If a fan is not working properly it will cause the unit to shut down. Also check your indicator lights on top & compare with the troubleshooting portion of the user guide. You can get a user guide download from google search.
Good luck,
Jim

The lens should be pretty sealed up. Use some compressed air, and a lens cleaner on the front of the unit, and see how that goes. If it needs further service of the lens you may need to bring it to a professional.

When the error comes up onscreen you should still be able to access the review menu (where you look at your photos), just keep pressing the button for review. even though the error shows you should definitely still be able to format it in camera. Also double check the usual things - the card is unlocked and compatible with the LX2. Hope that helps.

u could go to best buy but it might be cheaper to buy a new camera

The problem is not with the LCD or the camera - You have got it set to ecomony / power save mode. Fixable through camera settings.

You can download the software CD from Panasonic website.

You should however, be able to transfer images to your computer using a USB cable, and exploring the device in my computer.

Hi there

You have to reset the lamp timer.

Should solve your problems.

Try removing the card and re-inserting it was an intermittent issue with one card for me,the problem has now disappeared
