*&%$@#%^&*&^% !!"It's working!!!! Turn your camera on and put it near your ear. Did you hear a softly motorized sound in the lenses area and the green LED is flashing? If you hear this sound do this. Do it under your own responsability. (any way your camera does not work). When you turn on the camera wait until the lenses come out, in that moment grab the lens with your hand and don't let it go back. The camera will turn off but the lens will stay out. With the camera off push in the lens with your hand. Turn on the camera and that's it. I had to do it 2 times, but now my camera it's working again. This system error could be caused because the lens get out of it rail and the camera can not set the focus system.
Another Solution: I let the Lense come out and then quickly take out the batteries.
With the lense out I gently tap the bottom of the camera on a table top. Next wipe both lense barrels with a clean cotton cloth.
Put the batteries in and the camera works great.
Repeat process if camera lense is not put back in it's track.

Yes! Same Problem here! Trouble Shooting in Cam Manual suggests pressure to the lens. So I took an Air Hose to the lens numerous times during the 3-4 seconds the lens would come out before retracting back in and giving the "System Error" message...this did not help! I called Panasonic Tech Support at 1-800-211-7262 and they told me they charge flat rate fee of $111.50 + my states sales tax to fix cam and to send Cam TO: Panasonic Camera & Digital Repair Center 1590 Touhy Ave. Elkgrove, IL 60007......I am to send cam, a check or money order and my contact info....Hmmm, sounds to me like a standard operating system malfunction for them to make another 120 bucks off of me...Surely there has to be another way for me to bypass this malfunction!
I am having the same problem what is the solution?
When i turn my camera on the lens comes out for a couple of seconds, but then goes back in & it shows me a lens error message. How do I remedy this?
