Hello

If you can view the pictures previously taken with the camera on the camera LCD, but the new photos just come out black, this is most probably a blown ccd.

This is a expensive component to replace, and you will also need specialized equipment to do this yourself.

I would suggest that you take your camera to your nearest repair shop and let them test the ccd.

Hope this can be of help.

Kind regards

Sounds like you lost the connection to the sensor.

PANASONIC LUMIX DMC FX8 LCD DISPLAY Replacements our being sold on e-bay, for $30. I think this is what you our looking for? If not I hope you have success elsewhere. God bless...

I have this problem too, but only when I try to view pictures I have taken on a later model. Photos taken with the FZ28 view as per normal.

it is worth to repair instead getting new, contact your panasonic service center

Hi

Sounds like either your aperture is stuck shut so no light is getting into the lens, or the CCD is defective. The CCD is what changes the light into a digital signal for the camera to record.

If you find a defective camera with a good lens you can make one good camera from the two.

If you can't do it yourself, we are an affordable digital camera repair business (Google Darntoothysam) and can get pricing for you for a replacement lens. Most lenses are are able to install and ship back to the customer for only $70. If we can help please let us know.

Good luck from Darntoothysam com
