New Discount : amzn.to\xojPXh Customer Reviews: I have recently owned the Panasonic G1 and GH1, been very pleased with them, and thought that getting the GH2 would be 'just another upgrade'. Not so. The ergonomics give a camera that is an absolute joy to use. The touch screen totally transforms macro and tripod shooting, while the buttons, knobs, dials, and switches bring every ...

I just fixed everything by simply vacuum cleaning camera in switched off mode. I had dust on my lenses and now they are gone!! no need to unscrew anything, simply vacuum it from the front.

Do you know how to remove dust inside the lens?
jmontburger Says:
The LCD screen on my DMC-ZR1 wont work when i turn on the camera but the after a while it starts to come on and the sort of flashes like a blown fluorescent tube any one got any suggestions?
Vparanormal1 Says:
magnetize that screwdriver, you are making me nervous! :)
kimbahpnam Says:
do you have a tutorial on how to clean the dust from the LCD screen?
CenileTV Says:
Thanks Mike!!! Worked for my FX-36. Good as new!
MrPtrdkstr Says:
I assume this method is also appliable to the dmc FX40? I'm in Thailand right now, and have like 3 of those black spots... I kept my camera in the smoke, quite stupid!! Please let me know

If you open the case up as shown in the video, you might be able to use a blower like the Giottos rocket to blow the dust around from the inside instead of the outside. I didn't pay attention to see if I could take the actual lens unit apart. I would imagine it's a bit more intricate though.

Is it possible to clean *inside* the lens this way ? I've got a ZS3. I don't know exactly where the dust is located, but it doesn't seem to be on the sensor.

great pointers,,,,,,,,

To remove dust from your camera, use a small paint brush and a vacuum cleaner nozzle. Works on my d3x

Works for a ZR1, slightly different screw positions but same thing and the main part where sensor is with 3 screws is the same. Was going to throw it out then looked at repair prices, they wanted $90, After following this video I got it back to 100%, and when I opened to see the sensor before giving it the blower you could see the spec of dust. I don't know how it got in there, I have had camera for years but with this tutorial it is BRAND NEW, 100% Clear. Thanks Mike ;-)
ibanez2010 Says:
How did you not get shocked with the battery in there?
mrfoxtalbot Says:
Shouldn´t you have removed the battery before starting taking it apart?
mcwhitenyc Says:
Great video. I looked at it and then opened up my Panasonic DMC-ZS7. The process wasn't exactly the same, but very similar. Definitely helped me figure out where the sensor was and how to clean it. Worked perfectly!
WhynotJollyJumper Says:
Excellent! I dared to open my DMC-FX50 after watching your video. Thanks Mike!
johntindog Says:
Hi Mike Like your video, I have a Lumax DCM-ZS3 with a stuck open lens, well the lens goes in when you turn it on but then comes out and stays out and camera says system error. I have tried blowing into lens parts with no luck. Do you have any suggestion. I have bought a phillips No .0 and it seems too big. Kind Regards john

Thanks your video! This evening I'll try it as well. :-)
thefunkyfarmer Says:
brilliant. did this on my tz10 after watching. you saved me £40 which is what the camera shop wanted to do this job. thanks
joeteegee Says:
Hi- I have a DMC-FS10, and it's broadly similar- nothing that caused problems anyway. Your excellent video gave me the confidence to open up my camera that had gathered so much dust, it was beyond use. Ten minutes later, and it's as good as new! Awesome, thanks so much!
