Camera will turn on, lens extends, but then it puts itself into telephoto mode and will not focus or allow picture to be taken. Camera was dropped.
See the post for the same camera: "Buttons stopped working": there is a small 2 position switch connected to the zoom button. In my camera the zoom switch was stuck in one of the extreme positions. You have to put it back in the middle an re-assemble.

I took a picture, then when I went to preview mode, it just froze. Now, everytime I turn the camera on, at normal picture mode, it automatically zooms in, and doenst allow any pictures to be taken. On SCN mode, the screen keeps showing all scene modes non-stop. What would be wrong with this cam?
it seems like the toggle is stuck on the zoom in position! what to do?
Yes, I have the same problem too!
I turn on the cam, it goes to max zoom automaticaly and freezes for any other tasks. It also winds through unstopably all the shooting modes as in a preview, but will not respond to anything I try to do.
Does anybody out there has a solution?
Thanks
Tom
I have exactly the same: the scrolling menus in SCN mode and can't take any pictures. Has anyone tried to contact Panasonic? No response sofar when filling out a web form... The camera was not dropped!
Lens extends even when it is turned off. When it is turned on, picture can not be taken. Error message appears that says "Shut off camera, then try again." When I do so, the problem persists. Any suggestions?
