Problem Solving - Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera DMC-FX7

I accidentally left my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7 Digital Camera in my car during a snowstorm. Condensation killed it after bringing it inside. After turning on camera, it would zoom all the way out then motor would make faint studder sound and the error message "Turn Camera off and on again" would appear on the screen.

This is my problem solving technique. Hopefully this might help you out if you have similar problem with your Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera.

@shastapie101 I am sorry to hear that your camera is busted. Like I said in my video if it was condensation problem (having it out in the rain, or bringing it from cold outside to warm inside) open every thing up, and let it sit open for about a week. If you are having issues with the screen and it acting possessed, with auto zooming out all the way, and then the error message - try changing shooting mode before the error appear, in hopes of it resetting itself in a way. - Best of luck.

My Girlfriend also had the same message (DMC-FS15) and it was not due to condensation... Since this happend within the first 3 months, we sent it back and the new refurbished camera also had the same issue... my friend had yet a different model and it also had the issue temporarily... I believe it is just Panasonic's issue not a damage but an inherent. Your work around is good though... but it is just a temporary fix and panasonic really needs to be held accountable for this. My two cents.
