SOURCE: dirt inside back lens element

The dirt has gotten onto the front element of the rear lens group. You do not want to try partially disassembling the lens to clean it. Either Tamron or a good camera lens repair technician should be able to perform what is called a partial internal CLA (cleaning, lubrication and adjustment) of just rear portions of the lens for fairly cheap. Alternatively you may be able to pick up a used Tamron 28-200 in excellent condition for less than the repair cost of your current lens. If successful, then you could turn around and sell your 28-200 for parts or sell it to someone who knows how to service it.

SOURCE: I have a dog hair on the inside of my camera lens.

That model has a removable lens; take it off, look for the hair, and blow it off.

SOURCE: Piece of dirt in the lens!

Gently tap the lens with a stick and see if the dirt will fall to the side. It may of course migrate back, but as long as it doesn't stick to the lens, it will be out of the way for most pictures when the aperture closes. If it is stuck to the lens, have it professionally cleaned, OR take consulation in the fact that closer dirt is to the "optical center" of a lens, the less effect it has on normal pictures- pictures of bright objects are different though

SOURCE: I need a new Usb Cable Panasonic model no DMC-ZS5

If you need the cable for downloading pics, you can do the same with a card reader. Readers and replacement cables can be purchased at stores like Walmart, Best Buy, Kmart.

SOURCE: I Have a LUMIX DMC

I'am afraid the only way to fix this, the whole lens housing must be dis-assembled taken apart and cleaned in order to address this, to get a professional will be expensive but you could ask for an estimate. The only other option is to attempt the repair or find somebody you know that is very good mechanically.

Panasonic DMC-ZS5 How to download pictures? Equipment needed ?

If you want to use a computer to read the internal memory or the SD card in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5, you will need the correct USB cable, which is an 8-pin micro USB (M) to USB A cable, . (One example: https://www.amazon.com/dCables-Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-ZS5-Cable/dp/B00448MAWK ) Then ensure that the camera is fully charged or is getting additional power (AC adapter or DC coupler). After connecting the camera to the computer, you should be able to transfer files from File Explorer (Windows) or the Desktop (Mac). This may depend on your OS, see page 140 of the Advanced Features Manual for the supported OS versions. (Check Windows compatibility for later Windows version compatibility.)

With Windows XP, Vista or 7, you can also use the PhotoFunStudio that came on the CD with the camera. There is an update to the software here: http://av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/soft/download/pfs50.html . See the manual for using the PhotoFunStudio software.

The direct link to the Advanced Feature manual is ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/camera/om/dmc-zs7_adv_en_om.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Regarding the Panasonic DMC-ZS5 camera: what is the default focal length set at when the camera is turned on?

The default is the widest setting for the lens. So, for example, if the lens was a 4.1mm to 49.2mm, it would open at the 4.1mm setting and you could zoom in from there.

My panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 shows 3 dark spots and 2 hairs on all pictures. When I zoom-in the dirt is more visible and when I zoom-uit I dont see the hairs any more and the dark spots appear wider and...

Yes, you can clean. Not as complex as I originally thought.
1) Remove all of the silver screws
2) Separate the silver case (should split in 2)
3) Remove the 3 black screws in the middle
4) remove the center square cover that is over the lens
5) Use a duster spray to clean the lense and mirror
6) Reassemble in reverse order
Not knowing what I was going to get in, the entire process only took about 7-10 minutes.

Lens is stuck out and only restart message appears on screen.

Hi,
It indicates your lens is getting stuck inside .

First go with hard reset . Remove the batteries and insert new batteries . This in most case works well .If your problem still persists then check for the following :
* Carefully inspect around it for dirt or debris.
If you see any dirt or debris around the lens, use canned air to gently blow it away.
* After removing dirt and debris, turn the camera on and off.
This should work.

If your problem still continues you need to contact the service center to get your problem solved .

Hope this helps .

Thanks for using Fixya.

Similar problem -Error message Remove Lens Cap and press button.

After reading di_nick34 solution about removing sand, I removed the lens hood adaptor, and blew air between the gap, re-screw adaptor on. Heard a few clicks - must have broken some minute dust/dirt. Remove hood again, and further blowing. Must have removed the dirt stuck in the gap. Camera now works fine. Hope others with similar problem waill have same success.
