Camera lens cleaning

[Gbsm]

My camera panasonic FZ-20 lens has some minor deposits on the lens (innerside).

Anyone knows any camera shop to open and clean it.. Pls suggest thks

i will suggest that you bring back to Panasonic for them to clean for you for the peace of mind.. is your camera still under warranty?

[Gbsm]

no more warranty...

Panasonic will have the right tools and environment to clean for you.. i do not trust other shops to do it as they might not have the expertise.. why not give the service centre a call to check on the cost?

Does the dust affect your photo?

 

Since it is out of warranty, and the extra repair cost may not bring improvement to your photo, so why take the risk and send in your camera to a 3rd party for surgical operation?

 

My viewfinder has dust, but I didn't bother to blow it away, because the dust may land on the CMOS sensor and affect the picture at higher f-stop.
