My camera got wet in the rain at Brands Hatch yesterday.
It's not a DSLR but a Panasonic DMC FZ5 Compact. (DSLR lookalike).
Here's a list of whats wrong.
It switches on and that is about it.
1. Mode selector won't work unless it is used prior to switching camera on, any selections after that it doesn't change.
2. zoom won't work but lens does move on power up.
3. takes one photo if lucky, pre focus doesn't work anymore.
4. none of the other menu buttons etc. work in any mode selection.
It's been a good camera (18 months old) Not a DSLR I know but has some useful features and with a 12x optical zoom, very handy without the need to carry around lots of kit.
Any guesses how much to repair?
