Camera turns on and says please turn camera off then on again, this is a never ending cycle have tried new battery etc etc, nothing works, also tried the tapping on carpet/table does nothing. please help...
The camera only says please turn off and then turn on again, when something serious is wrong. Could be a mechanical problem. like a lens that got stuck, but also when the camera can't access the memory. Please don't hurt your camera. Only when you know why and how to tap, it could help. But just tapping won't solve anything.
If the lens is really stuck, and you don't know what caused this, probably you can't solve this. When inside something broke, you can't solve this. Did you try to remove the battery for a little while and replacing it. Sometimes it can reset and forget a sensor is telling something is wrong. But really, if nothing helps, you only can get advice in a repair shop or with Panasonic.
