Look dude, its a old point en shoot cam.
Dont get mad, but its time to get a better camera they arnt much now adays but to fix yours is expensive.

As per Panasonic support: The best way to attempt to clear the error would be to remove the battery for about a minute or so. If this doesn't correct the problem then unfortunately there may be an internal error that will require service. If that's the case please contact us at 800-211-7262 or submit a request via our Online Repair by http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/RequestCenter?storeId=15001&catalogId=11017

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as PIcasa.

You can replace it but usually when it gets wet other systems begin to fail over a period of time.

You can try plugging in the usb cable to your laptop, or any usb port really but the documentation is unclear whether that will actually charge the battery.


Really the only other really viable option is to find a camera shop, walgreens or tech store that could possibly carry the charger, or at least a spare battery.

Try cleaning the lens with a camera cleaning kit, other than that it will need to be serviced by a professional.

It will reset the camera setting back to the factory default settings the camera came with.
