"System Error (mp)" Issue - Lumix TZ10

Solved

Hello,
this morning I turned on my camera, a Lumix TZ10, and it told me to turn it off and then back on... I did this several times, and then it said "system error (mp)" (I have no idea what that means...) I managed to unlock it (or so I think), but the zoom focus is a disaster: everything is blurry, and the camera refuses to focus... I will check in a store, but I'm not sure if I will have the time, as I'm leaving for vacation in a week... Does anyone have any idea what I could do to fix the camera and take beautiful photos again? What is the cause of this problem? A huge thank you to anyone who finds an effective answer :) ! And in the meantime, for those who are already on vacation: HAVE A GREAT TIME! :)

Configuration: Mac OS X / Safari 534.57.2

      Hello, Same issue SYSTEM ERROR ZOOM, once turned on, I lightly pressed the zoom ring and it unlocked! Between the service charge for a quote and the announced repair - optical block replacement for €200, I saved €280 and I keep my favorite device. This will be a tip for someone else since you left and came back from vacation as your request dates back to 2012 and we are in 2015! Best regards.

      you just need to put a piece of rigid plastic around the lens rings and there you go, it works again

      Just press and hold the trigger button to turn it back on.

      I tried both techniques,
      First, I gave my Lumix tz8 a sharp slap on the table = failure
      then I tried to slide a piece of thin, rigid plastic between the two lens rings = failure
      finally, I gave it another sharp slap on the table = SUCCESS
      Good luck
