Panasonic Camera TZ20
When I start my camera the lens extract to a maximum, tries to focus, then the lens closes and an error message appears on the screen "System Error (Focus)".
After hours of searching the internet and trying different solutions, i have still the same problem. I even bought a new lens for my TZ20 and have still the same error message.
Can anybody help me on that issue?
Thanks a lot...
Is this a good question?

Bonjour,
J’avais le même problème avec un TZ80, et j’ai trouvé la réponse ici : https://www.commentcamarche.net/forum/af...
La solution est invraisemblable, mais d’un efficacité incroyable. J’avais du mal à y croire, mais c’était l’essayer ou bien envoyer mon appareil en réparation. IL SUFFIT DE LAISSER TOMBER LA CAMERA DE QUELQUES CENTIMETRES, et le choc règle le problème. En l’occurrence, je l’ai laissé tomber de 5-10 cm de haut sur une table avec un peu de papier en-dessous pour amortir le contact, en position droite, comme pour prendre une photo.
Bonne chance! Et que pour une fois les anglophones apprennent le français, cela en vaut la peine !!!!

Hello
I had the same problem with a TZ80, and I found the answer here:

The solution is unbelievable, but incredibly effective. I was struggling to believe it, but it was trying it out or sending my camera in for repair. Just drop the CAMERA from some centimeters, and the shock settles the problem. In this case, I dropped it from 5-10 cm high on a table with a little paper underneath to cushion the contact, in the right position, as if to take a picture.
Good luck! And that for once Anglophones learn French, it is worthwhile!!!!

I’m afraid to do this with my LX100 though.
I tried this too - and it worked - amazing!
Worked for me too, thanks !

Was about to throw my camera away (too expensive to repair) so in desperation I tried this. It worked!!!
Had the same problem, replacing the battery and SD card didn't help - but this solved the problem!!
