Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH4 Digital Camera - International Warranty Pink - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH4 is showing system eror. How solve it ?
The manual says please turn of the camera and then turn it on again. You could remove the battery and memory card for a moment and put both in back again. But if the error returns you should consult the dealer or your nearest Service Centre.
Make sure nothing is blocking the free movement of the lens barrel.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FH4 is showing system eror focus. How solve it ?
Can you tell exactly what is on the screen please. The system error focus is not supposed to be an real error that is displayed on your camera.
"System error" is possible. But if switching of and a few moments later switching on does not change the error on the dis[lay, you should contact a Panasonic certified repair centre.
Changing black white color
Answer is in the manual - in case you don't have it please do this:
To change selected picture effects ([Creative Control] menu)Press [MENU/SET]
Use cursor button to select [Creative Control] menu and press [MENU/SET]
Press up/down to select a setting ( there are a few eg. Sepia, Retro, Soft Focus, Expressive, Toy etc, and then press [MENU/SET] ( pressing DISP should give you an explanation of what each item selected does)
Hope this solves your problem.
Cheers

Flash wont pop out
It won't pop out in certain exposure modes, like manual. Try it on auto. If not, GENTLY try to pry it up - sometimes they get stuck from dirt of being hit.
Why do i get memory card error and format error on my camera
Hi Tami,
Many people experience similar problem but the cause may be different. One of the main cause is an infection by a virus when you connect your camera (SD card) to a computer. All you need to do to find out is - connect the SD card using a card reader to a computer with working virus program and scan it, than try to reformat. If you receive a pop-up message that the card cannot be formatted, you are doomed. Get a replacement card.
DMC TZ6 System Error (FOCUS)
Ty Price - thank you! I bought a DMC FX580 off eBay, untested, for $7 + $3 shipping, just for the heck of it. You never know, it could work, right? So I ordered a battery and charger, popped the fully charged battery in, and found it had the dreaded "System Error (FOCUS)"
I decided to Google the problem, and ended up on fixya. I read your suggestions, followed every one in detail and in order, and finally won the lottery with your last suggestion.
I played with the lens by keeping it from extending, preventing it from retracting, and finessing everything in between. I felt for 'give' and when I felt it, I went with it. Three click/snap events with no result, then on the fourth click/snap... wah-lah! I had the screen back, and all functions now work perfectly.
I'm much more comfortable working with things mechanical than things electronic, so I'm delighted that I was able to use physical manipulation to fix this fancy little camera.
That was so much fun - thank you again!
Lens cover will not open?
Send it to a Panasonic repair center. If it's under warranty still, then it should be covered. If not , they will give you an estimate.
Tz10 lens cover sticking
My TZ10 problem was the opposite, the cover wouldn't open. I just resorted to surgery with needle-nose pliers and a carefully wielded Stanley knife, and removed the cover completely without opening up the camera or the lens assembly. No big deal not having a lens cover, the thing lives in a leather case and it doesn't take a moment to wipe the lens with a tissue if it gets dusty. The camera is 4 years old anyway. Solved by 'amputation'.
