lens in a Panasonic Lumix camera The Issue The Camera (Panasonic Lumix HDC TZ10) developed a fault displaying the error as shown in the photograph below - "system error (focus)". When turned on and off, the lens would not retract, and it showed

the error message. What was uncertain was where the problem was - for instance was the problem panasonic lumix dmc-ts20 system error zoom in the cams of the zoom lens (there are three sets of lens that slide in and out on cams) or was it within the focusing panasonic fz system error message element which focuses the light on the light capture device - a CCD in the case of the Panasonic? It turned out to be grit on drive of the 4th focus lens which jammed it. I found a service manual for the camera https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54435885 at http://www.scribd.com/doc/96821254/DMC-TZ10-ZS7-Service-Manual (assessed 29 March 2013) which made repairing the camera very much easier. Other models might be found on http://www.statmyweb.com/s/repair-guide-tz10 Dave Baar has a detail description of his ordeal at the link below, for a slightly different camera - Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 Camera on http://media.davebaar.com/wordpress/?p=793 (accessed 29 March 2013), but well worth the read. First attempts Using his and other's suggestions I tried 1. Low batteries - a camera may not function properly when batteries a low. Insert a fully charged set to see http://agardenersmusings.blogspot.com/2013/03/fixing-jammed-focus-lens-in-panasonic.html if things improve.2. Full memory card - when a memory card is full, a digital camera may not turn on (not my problem as it could turn). Download all the photos, back them up and delete them from the memory card. Other ideas tried 1. Remove the batteries, followed by the memory card. Then install new batteries/freshly charged batteries, and turn on the camera. 2. Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to autofocus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots.3. Blow compressed air in the gaps around the lens' barrels with the idea of blowing any sand or grit that may be jamming the lens out of the camera. My camera shop warned me not to do this as they believed this procedure would drive dust further into the camera, however, I did try it with no avail. In my case the grit was on a screw-drive lug that raised or lowered the focus element, which had grease on it - no amount of blowing would have removed it. Don't use a hair dryer!4. Repeatedly tap camera onto some soft padding with the intent of dislodging any particles that may be jamming the lens. Other variations include hitting a side of the camera against the palm of your hand. A lot of people have

Start by using a vacuum cleaner hose and see if you can get the lens somewhat cleaned. Check on her
