Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 Lens Replacement

はじめに

If your Pansonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is producing fuzzy, blurry, flared, or otherwise degraded images, it may have a broken or damaged lens. While a slightly damage or smudged lens might result in a minor reduction in photo and video quality, a severely damaged or broken lens may need to be replaced altogether.

Lenses control the amount of light that enters the camera. The optical elements inside focus the light into a focal point, and if the lens is damaged or broken, the light cannot be properly directed to the camera's sensor, resulting in images that may look blurry or have excessive lens flare. In that case, the lens should be replaced.

Before beginning, be sure the device is not attached to any external power sources and power it down completely.
