Problem with Lumix DMC-LZ2

[gregory6689]

Hi!
I've got a problim with my Lumix!
The lens seems to have a a kind of a loose connection, cause to be able to take a picture I have to push it up and keep it like that....otherwise the screen is black and it doesn't take a pic!

Hav u got an idea to fix the problem without sending it in? 'Cause I'm in a country far away from where I bought it at the mom and sending it in would take a long time...time in which I could take great pics!

Thanks anyways!

Does the lens appear to be loose? Will it turn clockwise or counterclockwise a little? If it's out of warranty I would try moving the lens around some to see if you can find a 'sweet spot' where it keeps the screen turned on without having to hold it ! Jim
