How to strip and clean a Panasonic Lumix TZ series lens - with warnings!!!

A video requested by several viewers as to stripping and cleaning the inner elements of a panasonic lumix Travel Zoom series camera.

Unless your camera is out of warranty and no other options exist I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST TRYING THIS, it is a complex procedure and there is the possibility that you may cause further damage or render the camera totally useless! If you attempt this procedure I would advise you to watch the process through once and then carry out the procedure pausing the video at each step. Orientate the components so you know where they align when re-assembling them. Do not force anything, the assembly is delicate and easily damaged. If something doesn't align then you have something out of place.

For the purpose ok keeping this video as short as possible I have not shown the step removing the rear cover and lcd, this is covered in the previous video "cleaning the sensor".

I am not a Panasonic trained technician, the methods I show may not be strictly following the service procedures for this assembly, however i have stripped and rebuilt over 20 of these assemblies in the course of repairing these cameras. Most of Panasonics compact camera employ similar lens frams systems so the procedure is almost identical for the FS FX series cameras. Bo not attempt repair to the LX series lenses as they do require setup tools ( i believe)

i wish you luck if you attempt this, proceed slowly, methodically and check each stage before completing the next
