Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'Delight Turn CAMERA OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN'
Looks like I take a major problem
Everytime I switch on, within seconds, there announced a message 'Please Plough CAMERA OFF AND And then ON AGAIN'
Depite doing as told, it failed to ready the problem as aforementioned messge go on coming over again and over again.
Also, it appear it has some auto focus-ing? problem, when switched on it zooms out wholly and then the screan announced blurry as if attempting to auto focus and soon the message announced. And it was like this whole mean solar day today not assuasive me to shoot a single movie
My camera is well-nigh 2 year one-time. Before that I had TZ3 for about 18months which was stollen hence bought TZ4
perhaps it'southward time to modify?
to SX210 Canon?

My DMC-TZ4 would occasionally give me that bulletin - but would recover OK after "re-booting".
Are you lot able to quickly become to the SETUP menu and activate a RESET performance? Well worth a try.

I tried that but the nessage announced quickly thus freezing the photographic camera mode operations

In that location is (no doubt) a certain start-up process involving pressing (probably two) camera buttons simultaneously when powering up the photographic camera that would identify you in "Service Mode". But, I do not know what those keys might be - or what to practise at that point in guild to perform a hardware reset in Service Mode ...
I went looking for a DMC-TZ4 Service Manual - no luck.
Still, I have nevertheless to run across any of those Panasonic Service Manuals (for the FZ50 or the LX3) provide the specific information for entering "Service Mode", anyhow ...
I don't know what else to propose. For what information technology is worth, ane could probable do better than DMC-TZ4 these days, and so mayhap it is time to supervene upon it with something improve?

Thanks
when i looked at my mnnual
information technology does give info on displayed error messages and the abv message also listed.pg90
It says it happen when force is practical to lens or other components.
I was forcibly, kept pressing my battery equally it sometimes sits in loose (power wont plough on)
and that's when this trouble occured.
Information technology as well says cunsult your nearest Service centre if displaly still remains.
merely there I think there is no sevice middle in Goa, neares one is Boambya about 600km away

Joffy-
Have you tried putting the peak Dial in PLAYBACK manner ...then switching on...
The lens does NOT come up out that fashion..and in PLAY Menu at that place IS a Reset...
I have JUST written a very long respond on this..telling you virtually the SX210 that a friend has had since last year.. (and the darned thing simply disappeared on me !!!!) As you lot may know, that photographic camera does have a little annoyance in that I think information technology still does pop-up the flash every time y'all switch ON..and I don't think you tin practice annihilation but push information technology downwardly...
Simply otherwise I think that in the range/grade blazon of P&S with a very skillful long zoom..AND the pleasance of what always seem splendid Canon colors... I think it is one you might well consider. The toll is just a touch above what I see it selling at hither in UK by a few good dealers.. merely that price I see is without any extras.
IF it is a Canon Warranty.. then I think information technology is a very good one to recall about - a big Zoom which information technology seems you like.. plus a bit update maybe on your TZ4.. if it comes to it.. I call up you lot could well consider the SX .. any chance you can see and handle one in a store...or exercise you take to trust on buying from some shop distant....

A very proficient idea (every bit in that location is access to the SETUP menu in Playback Mode).
However, it sounds similar if there exists some mechanical obstruction to the lens-system extending when in Record Fashion, so that may well be the root-trouble?
Executing a hardware RESET may be the but style to know for sure almost where such an actual problem may exist - or whether it simply needs a hardware RESET.

Yes I agree...it does seem that something has gone wrong and triggered this problem..but it sounds as though it is a problem that is more than software (the screen note) than pure Hardware. since the lens DOES seem to come out - so it's not purely mechanical.. maybe if a RESET was done..it would clear the software note that in plough creates the mechanical function. I say this more in promise really.. as the fact remains that in that location IS a mechanical malfunction.. whether anything only a Service would cure it is possibly a big doubt.

Could that requite a new kick?

Yes, indeed it will ! I applied the latest FW ane.2 to my DMC-TZ4 myself, and I think that such a process would work very nicely. Good bear witness! An excellent idea!
Here is the URL to get the latest FW Version ane.2 Binary (with instructions) from Panasonic:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/dsc/download/TZ4_5/index.html
Notes : Information technology will be necessary to utilise a SDHC card-reader in order to be able to place the downloaded and so unzipped Firmware Binary File on the "root-directory" of a SDHC-type flash retentiveness-carte du jour. Be sure to format the retentivity card using the camera after the procedure completes - before powering the photographic camera down - or the FW re-flash volition begin all once more when the camera is powered up once again ...
If anything is capable of (hopefully) resolving this issue (if information technology is firmware-related just), this excellent suggestion is it ! ...

One or two good things to try now - certainly at this stage I'd remember well worth it.. and if none show proficient..well, maybe it IS time for a replacement.
Right at present it'southward 6pm local time for Joffy so promise he has chance to give them a go... we shall wait his responses anxiously.. nobody wants to be forced into making a modify... later all, that TZ4 is still very good for general utilise...

Re: Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'PLEASE Plough Camera OFF AND Then ON AGAIN'
Thank yous all for your support.
Playback mode it was fine only as soon as i come up out of it , the message re- appeared.
it looks like it has something to do with auto focuss. In one case the zoom pops out it won't go in even afte ability off. however, while in playback mode, it will go in afterwards sometime as usual.
I did consult a local dealer, he says this prob. is quite common with Panasonic TZ/lumix
Looking at information technology he atonce said he can fix it for Rs. 2,000 and that he need virtually 3 days for that (equally he is quite busy). And so, I handed over my cam to him about iii hours ago.
I am serioulsy trying to buy a new 1 for whcih I needed some time to study and compare the various models. While trying to become for SX210 i am now considering TZ10
with 12x with 16x int.zoom just the MRP is Rs.28K and TZ8 25K
TZ10 has no face detection simply eight has. Not interested in GPS
my main consideration ares:
meaty
10x plus
zooming while video shooting
HD picture show
works fine in low lights.indoors/after sunset etc
i am dislocated but I need to purchase a second cemera soon.
Although virtually have ii years warranty, it would accept weeks to get the camra service/repaired spould anything go wrong and I can't become a single day without a camera - Camera always a office of me since 6 years
thanks

Joffy-
Thanks for letting us know about this. Information technology does expect .. and information technology did seem that mode from the offset actually.. that you do demand some sort of photographic camera fix and it is good that you have taken steps to do this. If information technology gets fixed properly, you will at least then I promise take a saleable camera if you practise decide to go for another.
Merely I wonder simply how you feel about the others that you are at present talking of.. accept y'all decided the SX210 is not what you want?.. or whatsoever good reason to go away from that. Canon rarely seem to turn out a bad camera and I can't just think of any piffling issues that can be said to have been on many of their models.. and as you lot may know..Catechism colors are just so liked by then many..Panny I don't think can exist said that quite the same..indeed.. a lot has been said in the by few years of at least quite a few people saying that on the LX cameras there has been a example of variable colors.. at to the lowest degree in the eyes of some users. Catechism seem to delight nigh..don't know why it is but I have had quite a few Canon and to me at least they do give me what I like..and without much difficulty or special settings.
What mainly do you experience that the others you at present mention, may practise amend than the SX210. They seem to be way up in the price range to that original photographic camera spoken of... I suppose they should in theory exist better in some way for the exra price, simply I'm not sure they may be THAT much better for general use. I remember quite a lot of the P&S type are at present all inside striking distance of each other.. and yous just have to go right up to such every bit Micro iv/3 to get what is certainly a better and unlike event.
Promise y'all tin can decide something to suit you... AND that y'all will let us know what happens.

Re: Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'PLEASE Plow Camera OFF AND So ON Once again'
Glad y'all are moving forward on this. While the guy is fixing the lens problem, you lot might accept him look at that loose connection of the battery since the problem seemed to occur if I read you correctly when yous were trying to get the bombardment connexion to piece of work. I take noted that sometimes when battery power is down on some of the FZ's, the car focus can go a little "bonky" or be sluggish. Although this is much worse than that, I wonder if the battery problem precipitated some type of error in the camera.

Re: Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'Please TURN Camera OFF AND And then ON AGAIN'
Hi,
it happened to me this summer with my TZ3. The problem was, I think, some sand that entered in the lens movement organisation. I repeated the on-off procedure whilst bravado the lenses with a powerful (common cold!) hairdryer. Information technology worked, after a while, and later on that the camera connected to piece of work flawlessly.
Hope this helps, and... practiced luck.

Re: Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'PLEASE Turn Camera OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN'
Today I got my photographic camera back duly fixed in less than 48 hours
Charges Rs.1400 just.
Had to set the time and date all over over again.
I will use it striaght away after battery charged
did not get to talk to the person who fixed it, it was collected from receiption desk.
should there be whatsoever farther problem, I will come up back hither again.
thank yous.
Re: Panasonic DMC TZ4 - 'PLEASE TURN Photographic camera OFF AND And so ON AGAIN'
I had this. Simply switch the photographic camera to electronic shutter (on). It may accept something to do with mechanical shutter on my GH4 but at least the message is gone
