Please Turn Camera Off and Then On Again - Panasonic G7 Error Message
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- My Panasonic G7 has been giving me an error message on the first shots I take with it. The shutter stays down until the camera is turned off and then back on. After doing the process a bunch of times, the problem stops until the camera sits unused for a couple hours. The longer the camera sits, the more shots it takes for the problem to go away.
I tried swapping batteries, SD cards, and using a blower on the shutter. None of those things have fixed the problem.
Please leave a comment if you're having the same problem, know of fixes, or sent your camera in to be repaired.

I had the same issue this morning with my G80. I removed the battery and SD card for ten minutes. Removed the lens and cleaned the contacts. I connected everything back to the camera again and turned it on. I then faced the camera down and hit the shutter button and voila! Working again.
I have come across this video because I had this problem with 2 of my GH3 camera’s . Turned out to be the fact that the battery that I was using was not an original panasonic, which is absolutely strange but true. Thought this might be helpfull for others.
I've managed to fix this on my DMC-G5.
1 Remove lens
2 custom menu set -Shoot w/o lens to ON
3 Shoot with camera facing down to floor
4 Repeat step 2 if camera ask for it to be turned off and on
5 repeat steps and rotate camera in all different angles taking pictures with lens off until camera works as normal.
Took approx 12 pictures until it worked again.
The above worked for me.
Thanks for telling us how?
That actually worked, thanks!
This worked, thank you!
...the same problem, the solution is working for now, I hope for ever! Many thanks.
Worked! THANKS!! But why is this happen?
guys someone already said here before just turn the camera upside down and hit it softly a couple of times, it think its just the shutter stuck on a certain position, it will put it back to place and work normally
This worked for me. I guess it dislodged some micro dust/grease build up.
I then exercised the shutter with loads of burst photos and haven’t had an issue since
Take the lens off so you can physically see the shutter unlock
Worked for me too
My Lumix FZ80 does that! So frustrating! However, when i switched off and on, the error would disappear and i could use the camera again, but would lose important moments due to off/on time lapse
I had a similar issue, and the problem was with the shutter. I watched a video on how to take the camera apart and then I did same thing to mine. I realized something had gotten loose and stuck in the shutter gears. I removed it but unfortunately I damaged the shutter as well. I bought a new shutter on aliexpress for about $35 and fixed it. Everything was working fine until a loose screw got stuck in there again. This time round I was able to open and shake out the screw without damaging the shutter and it is now good as new. My advice is give your camera a gentle shake once in while ensuring the strap holders is not moving to see if something is loose in your camera and take it out before it causes any damage.
Hi, fellows. The same problem with my GF7 when shooting longer than 1 second shutter time. I tried to solve this problem many ways and here is what helped me:
(strange thing was that in the daylight the camera worked fine but in the dark - when you often use the long exposure - rised the error)
I made this sequence :
1) set the shutter type to EFC - didn't help
2) set Drive Mode to Burst and take pictures for few seconds (shutter speed 1/10s) - didn't help
3) turn off Noise Reduction - didn't help
4) set AF/AE Lock to AF-ON
...and the camera started working OK
I returned the settings back to [shutter - AUTO, DriveMode - Single, NoiseReduction - ON, AF/AE Lock - AF/AE LOCK]
and the camera still works well.
Good luck !
Thanks Magix cz, had the exact same problem with my GH4 and by following your simple instructions (
Thanks, it's ok for me now.
set AF/AE Lock to AF-ON - work!
Probably a bit late to this one; just had the same issue on the G7 - Think it's solved! Here's what to do: Start up your camera, take the battery out while its is STILL SWITCHED ON. Then, switch off, remove the lens. Wait at least 10 mins, add the lens, battery, switch on. Fixed! You may need to do this twice. Removing the battery while the G7 is ON forces the unit to reset :D You're welcome.
It worked for me in my G7 issue. Thanks
Tried this on my old Panasonic LUMIX and it worked, ur awesome
Unfortunately.. mine had the same problem.. after a year of mild use.. I called the service dep. They said the shutter mechanism needs replacement.. overall cost about 350euros.. mine was still covered by the warranty, but I don't know if I would repair it otherwise.. it's been a year since the replacement, it works fine for the time being. I rarely use the camera now.. But if you see this message.. Its bad news.. you can't fix it on your own..
Happened to me too! And my camera was sitting unused for over 2 years!! Clearly, the problem was that the manual shutter was sticking because of not being used for a while. I have no idea why though?? Perhaps the dust and moisture in time would act like a glue or some sort thereby jamming the mechanism. Anyway, in order to fix it, it just simply needed to be nudged back again physically. Switching to electronic shutter would not work since you will still have the problem if you switch back to manual shutters. Gently tapping it sideways left and right should help. Doing a Pixel Refresh will help too since it also operates the shutters. Anything that triggers the manual shutters like repeatedly taking pictures (turning it off and on) is the best way. Even better is if you can help the process along by jumping up and down while taking pictures. A cartwheel maneuver would be appreciated. And so will a double somersault with triple twist and a perfect landing. But not, I repeat, no not never ever can dancing the macarena help!!
I have begun having the same problem with my Panasonic G7 and I am the original owner. It has never been mishandled become dirty or been dropped.
SOLVED. Just want to share my fix, hope will help someone with the same problem. I had the same error message, tried different things to resolve the problem but didn’t work. Then, I found out that the HDMI port had two pins detached and they were touching each other. I am assuming that this created a little short circuit and causing the error message. By carefully moving those two pins using a tiny screwdriver the problem was resolved. now I’m able to use the mechanical shutter normally. (I was using the electronic shutter as a workaround method.) Happy snapping photos 😀🙏
My Panasonic G7, after 4 years of ownership, just started doing the error message thing. What fixed it, for me, is going into the menu and doing a Sensor Cleaning and then a Pixel Refresh. So far, this seems to have cured my Panasonic G7.
Thank you so much! this worked for me!
I had the same problem, be careful when changing the lenses, with me there was a small hair between the shutter.
Are you related to Ray Ramone?
i just got the same problem after about a year of using it indoors with a sigma 18-35mm lens and metabones. only on pictures it happens. video is fine. it feels like a shutter issue still havnt got it fixed....
Hi there! I had/have the same problem with my g7. I did change the settings to the standard ones and still not working as it should. But! Now I switch the silent mode to ON, and now the camera is working. But still not really fixed. Because when you have to use the flashlight the silent mode need to be on OFF. and then the problem is back :S
It started during a shooting sessing. Really annoying. Any one with the real solution?
this worked for me
The silent mode setting worked for my GM1. Thank you
I cannot fix it, so I finally went for the "silent mode" and therefore the "electronic shutter" ...I wonder if this way of "fix" have any unwanted effect for video or is just a bad notice for shut long exposures.
Hi everyone!
I had just same problem with my GX85. Camera suddenly showed that "turn camera off.." message and then it showed nothing except that
When I tried to turn it on without lens I saw the stucked shutter
My solution was to gently shake camera upside down when I tried to turn it on. Hope it will helps someone, but do it by your own risk
It surprisingly worked thank youuuu
@@witoscrapbook4975 you're welcome :)
YOOOOOO this tiny fix saved me so much money I was almost going to bring it to a shop.
Happened to me. What fixed was a combination of turning it on and off and tapping the body against the palm of my hand.
I have had the same problem on my G6 for over a year now, I could still enter the menu (because the problem appear when only on shutter release), so I switched to electronic shutter and that made the camera usable again. The only drawbacks are no slow exposition (1s minimum) and lines on photos of stuff like screens with slow refresh (or distorsion on moving objects)
I love you. It solved my problem on Panasonic GF7, thanks a lot !!
I have the fz80 and same problem. From times to times I have this message... After turn off and on it works but sometimes I loose my chance to take nice pictures :/
Same experience with me!
I stumbled across this video looking for an idea why my GF6 was producing this error message. The camera was stored for roughly 3 years, only being removed from the Pelican case to have batteries topped up a few times. I had camera set for "Shoot without lense" since it was used a lot with a 3rd party lense. I tried another battery, formatting the SD card in a PC and other basic measures. Unlike the incidences mentioned in other posts the mechanical shutter in mine could be seen working. Putting the camera on its' back and operating it in burst mode appears to have resolved the issue. My camera has never misbehaved prior to today, but has only been returned to use recently.

Same problem on my G7 after a year of use.
Absolutely same on mine.
@@markomilojevic8122 Only in Photo mode?
Guys there is an easy way... Just turn your camera upside down and hit it twice or thrice or hit it on surface from left and right as well.... This would not work in one time but this will work.... The problem is that the lens got stuck when we turn on and off camera rapidly... So I got this problem fixed in my Sony dcs h50 cyber shot... Hope this will help you
simple advice...and...surprisingly it works! Thanks
@@mihhy964 did it worked for you???
best advice here it works thank you
@@zakialatas1379 did it worked for you
Yea it worked for my gh5
My camera is saying “system error OIS” .. any idea why ?
Not sure if this has already been mention, but I have found a way round this issue. I have the same problem atm. Black screen, error message and when I have taken an image often over exposed.
Then I realised the G7 has two shutters, mechanical and electronic!
Switched to electronic shutter and everything looks like it is working OK.
Menu > top camera icon > page 5/8 > ELECTRONIC SHUTTER
Hope this help.
Fixed the problem
@Michael Yiu canot use flash !!!!
@@stevencarroll6376 flash not working !!
bro the shutter is stuck up so how can the lens see the image?
I have a g85 I though they didn't had a machanical shutter I thought they were electronic power switching is this just g7 models and older
For anyones information with the same issue. For me it apparently went away (hopefully it will stay like this) after cycling through the failure process about 10 times. Seems like it just need some motion to get loose.
I had the same problem on a Lumix G3 that showed the same message every time I wanted to take a photo. BTW, video was still working. I noticed that the camera took the picture anyway but without any action of the shutter so all the pics were overexposed. Following some of the advices I read in the comments, I managed to get my G3 back in function. Here's How I did :
• Step 1 : Updated the firmware to 1.2 (not sure if it had any effect)
• Step 2 : Took the original battery and the SD card out of the camera for a few hours
• Step 3 : Charged the original battery to the maximum
• Step 4 : Put the original battery and the SD card back
• Step 5 : Took a few pics without lens in all directions (the camera asked to be turned off)
• Step 6 : Did a pixel refresh (I heard the shutter moving during the pixel refresh) and restart
• Step 7 : Put back a lens and took a few pictures (after 5 or 6 the camera asked to be turned off again)
• Step 8 : Restarted, works fine.
I have Nikon A900 and the camera is showing the same error message. Tried all, didn't work out. If you can help me out...
Have the same issue. Actually had it from like a month after buying the camera. Pretty sure there's no point in sending it for warranty repairs, as they will most likely do or find nothing. What helps me when it's stuck, besides the several turn on-off cycles, is to slightly tap with the finger on the body of the camera around the lens mount, maybe even on the lens and it might start working again faster. Been having this issue for over a year already, i guess I'm just used to it now.
Thank you so much! it worked right away!
This just happened to me as well, try cleaning the sensor and pixel refresh. I did those two and somehow it worked haha. I use m42 lenses with the turbo II speed booster, if this makes any difference.
Thanks for the idea. I did both those things. The problem only comes up for me when I let the camera sit for at least a day. The next time that happens I'll come back and tell everyone what happened.
It worked! Pixel refresh seemed to do the trick.
removing the lense, and turning on the setting to shoot without a lense worked for me
Same problem with the stuck shutter on the GH5. Оccurred when shooting photos at a long shutter speed. I decided to simply push it down with a matrix cleaning stick. And then I disabled the mechanical shutter in the menu. It’s working fine so far, but I’ll take the stick with me when I’m filming. Ha
switch from mechanical shutter to electronic shutter
Okay so what I did to fix the exact problem was I put the camera on burst mode not 4K burst (with the lens on) and I held the camera upside down and held the shutter button letting the shutter do its work. I personally think the shuttle isn't being worked enough.
Do this at your own risk
I have a bent shutter so that could be something?
My G95 has had the same issue for a few years now, so annoying
FIXED- turn off Long Shtr NR . UNDER CAMERA MENU 4TH PAGE👌

My camera was under warranty so it was fixed for free, in November. Now its broken again!
Sounds like these cameras have a manufacturer/design flaw
I like your background
J'ai eu ce même problème vous pouvez m'aider ???
you can use electronic shutter till this is fixed. you don't get any shutter sound.
My FZ80 giving the issue
If it helps, I solved my problem with my GH6 in electronic shutter configuration and not in mechanical. I will send my GH6 in warranty.
Panasonic quoted me at 200-300 USD to fix it. I just described what it was doing and she said it was close to 300 USD on average to repair it. Honestly not worth it to me, ended up buying an 80D and just took the video quality hit.
i am faceing same problem on my handy camera panasonic hc v260. anyone can help me how i solved it?!
had same with gh3, but worked after some shooting without lens in different angles
just happened to my G7
Camera won't go off
SAME Problem! But my shutter doesn´t even open!
same
i hate that i had to do this but i hit the side of my camera a few times and it worked for about 2 minutes, was able to get an absolutely amazing photo of the supermoon tonight. sadly i feel i will have to take it to a pro to get repaired. FACK!
update: i poked the shutter speed flap thingy with a toothpick and along the ridges where it slides (i figured fuqit, if im gonna take it to the shop i might as well make sure something is gonna get worked on), and the issue has stopped indefinitely! if things change i will return
have you found a way to fix this?
try this put Electronic Shutter to ON
Select the menu. > [Rec] > [Electronic Shutter]
[ON] Takes pictures using the electronic shutter method.
[OFF] Takes pictures with the mechanical shutter
I'm having the same essue
Works with Electronic Shutter
I have the same problem and it only been two months
Hey man, do you have instagram? I will help you out, add me on @kasperbirding
Mine did too ! Got it working now. Here is how.
My Panny GH4 did this while I was taking stills at the local Zoo. Peed me off.
I was unable to take any more shots.
Thankfully was just there for pleasure and not working when this absurd meltdown occurred.
I tinkered with the camera for about 10 minutes to no avail.
But, I brought it home and Got it working now. Here is how.
I didn't fall for the 'try a new battery' theory because I did that already in the field to no avail.
But I kept reading other's post about how it worked for them.
So, I went and grabbed a third battery along with my AC power supply to try different power sources.
I put on my third battery and gave it whirl again and voila it worked !
I think what it is, is when your battery charge level drops a bar or two it can cause this shutter paralysis, especially if you have it on bracket, using multiple shutter takes. Because I noticed in the field when this happened that my battery was one bar.
The other battery I tried in the field had 2 bars. The third battery I used (after I got home) was fully charged.
I don't know man. Just my theory but it worked.
Lesson learned.
J Maddox Hey! My battery also dropped a bar and then i got this notification - since then my lense is not closing properly anymore and i can't use the camera bc of rthis notification. any advice?
I have the same problem

I have the exact same problem with my Panasonic Lumix G7, I haven't found a solution to the problem but reading all these comments does give me a few ideas. What I have noticed though is I do not get the message when the camera is at a certain temperature mostly in the warmer temperatures and then the camera gets colder even room temperature that's when the message appears again.
i had too in lumix g7, but after reset all settings and it work and back to normal, i get this problem after 1 days using olympus lens,
I had the same problem with GH4, I put on electronic shooting
Panasonic mdh2 erroors
When my G7 does this it makes a continuous rattle. Turning off and on again is usually enough to fix it. Has anyone enountered that pattern? Disappointing, for sure. Never had a problem like this with any other body.
Not oning cramra
I cannot commit anything

I have a Lumix g3 with the same problem
Sorry to hear that. My shutter count is up ~2k since I made the video and the problems has lessened. If I don't use the camera for a day or 2, I only have to power cycle the camera once or twice to get it working. I'm hopeful that the problem will eventually just go away. Other than this issue, I really like the G7.
Second day with my gx85 and happens the same. Waiting for customer service answer.
Also have a GX85. Love the camera but hate that it's been out of commission because of this. Bought it November and the issue popped up in December or January. Nothing has worked so far and I hear sending it back has been a pain due to the pandemic.
It's unacceptable that a so-called "gray market" photographic equipment should have no proper warranty coverage.
Where the camera was bought must have nothing to do with anything.
Yep, we have 3 FZ80's all doing the same thing. Panasonic is a joke.
SOLVED !!! th-cam.com/video/qX3W2g7nKxw/w-d-xo.html
Easy fix for me after much consternation. I tripped over the solution by accident. On my Nikon b500 the error message appeared because my lens cap was on. Upon removing it the camera started up fine with no turn off/turn on error message. I repeated several times to make sure.

If you follow the steps he lays out at the end to reset the camera it should do the trick. It's not the purpose of his video but I tried it and it fixed my issue.
The internal battery needs to be recharged. A quick way to fix this is to place it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Ignore the sparks and flames, that just means it's working.
