Second model camcorder released in 2015. The Panasonic HC‑VX870 has wifi capabilities, 4K resolution camcorder.

Lens cover will not close/open

When I turn it on, the is a sound of a motor in two different pitches, but the lens cover will not open or close. I can manually move it open/close. How can I best service this? Unit is only 5 months old.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@edwardalbada "Unit is only 5 months old." it's not covered under warranty?

@oldturkey03 apparently not. It was purchased at @BestBuy as "open box". They already gave me a thorough runaround.

@edwardalbada those places are great for giving consumers a runaround :-(

I would try a reset to the factory settings. If that does not work your camera may have issues with the LENS BARRIER DRIVE circuit Check the Panasonic HC VX870 SM
