Nope.

Have to depend on your cloth & how u wipe it....

Never drip any cleansing liquid or fluid directly onto the lens' glass, drip on the lens cleaning
paper or cloth then wipe the glass gently to clean.
Hope this helps.

go and buy a lenspen... a very wothy investment..
what's a lenspen btw
a very dangerous thing that not only remove the smudge on yr lens...it also remove the coating on the lens itself
Hi Everyone,
Just got my LX3 few days ago and got a question.
I connected my LX3 to my 42"LCD using the AV cable provided, when I switch to Playback picture appear on the 42"LCD and I can view those shoot I taken but when I switch back to Record mode the 42" LCD go blank ( the preview switch to the Camera LCD )
Can someone advice does LX3 has this function of view from external LCD during Recording.
thanks

hi, I m facing such a similar prob...dunno if its a batch defect..
just gt my LX3 tis mth from MS Color.. havent gt much time to shoot much but discovered both my batts' life seem unusually short so did a test today...brought it out for test shoot w the original batt fully charged. 1 thing, I always change appropriate settings n mode for every pic b4 taking and will review after every taken pic. I realized w my fully charged original batt, it dropped to only a life bar left after taking 30+ shots(23 in cam and 10+ deleted). Can check w u guys.. this is definitely something wrong right? Rem the other batt's life is short too.. I did my 1st charge of 10 hrs for both batts n subsequent 2-3 hrs till its full(no LED light on charger). Was considering bring my whole set to service center but wat abt e 3rd party batt? Should I look for Florence?
I just on my cam now and it go back to 2 bars of batt life...but still to drop so much for 30+ shots is funny

I guess you need to use it more often. To season the batteries. Initially mine was showing such problems, but after using for 2 months plus, I can get alot more shots for one battery. Averaging around 150shots (sometimes around 200). I shoot both RAW and JPEG at the same time. But using the pop up flash too often will also drain the battery. Same goes to the Pre-AF setting, try not to use the C-AF.
OK, I will try den. Its true I hardly shoot recently... so now u get abt averaging 200 per charge...will try as u say, hope it works.
Any other LX3 owners here with this unique problem?

the following may be a shocking incident to some but no offense to any fans of MS Color or Panansonic - On Sun, I called Florence regarding the above incident.. she confidently told me bring my set to her shop and will do a 1-to-1 exchange if my set's condition is new and gd.
I went today evening.. met her.. checked my set..she said my set condition great. She asked for my customer portion of warranty card. I tot "lucky..she honoured her word..this issue settled easily and peacefully
" She took her cordless phone went to a corner n made a call. Mins later, she came back tellin me..panasonic agent say cannot exchange..reason is cos i filled up my customer portion alrd. I tot.."ok, guess too late, she sent the service center portion to them and probably has my record in their database" I asked how? She say go to panasonic service center tom get it repaired... something I dun wan(will reveal later). I insist on 1-to-1 exchange which she agreed earlier on. She just tell me nt to worry, go there sure can settle.She went in her office and came out with my other portion of warranty(the portion which she kept when I bought) to pass to me. I was shocked.. I looked at tt portion..nothing filled up,just scribbled w the cam serial no. She saw my angry look den tok **** say "Lucky u made the trip down so I can pass this other portion to u or else with just the customer portion, the service center wont entertain u also" My mind was screaming..."WTF? Y r u keeping this portion den if u didnt pass to Panasonic?" I controlled my temper but w a sour look I asked... "Y not u just b nice help me exchange here den just tear both portions of the warranty card and its gone.... for good!" She refused..say she cant sell my problem set anymore since warranty card already filled up...I tot she should just direct reject back to agent! keep asking me go down say sure no prob....sensing I was angry.. quickly pack my cam and accessories into box to see me off..
I walked out of MS..very angry. Went back and nicely asked for the agent's contact tt she spoke to earlier. She looked reluctant...I was damn black face and all her assistants lookin at us. She passed me a card, say look for Ryan. I walked off.. proceeded to call Ryan..identified myself as the customer Florence mentioned earlier on. I spoke in a stern tone..if the technicians certified this set faulty,I want 1-to-1 exchange as Florence agreed and not to send in for repairs. He paused den say bring down tom see how after his technician access my cam..Still tok **** say he stay tamp(near me)..can pass back to me as favor if i cant make it to collect. I ended the stupid call.
To me , this obviously is a case of Florence pushing me to Ryan den pushing me to technician. What warranty card hassle they making when warranty card nt even been sent but collecting dust in Florence 's office? If any frens of MS or Florence find this incident doubtful cause of their great repo, pls feel free call and ask Florence to confirm. I wont be sending this cam cause I noe if exchange 1-to-1, I will get a refurbished set. If repaired, hi chances are 1 prob leads to another and I will make freq trips there. I noe hw service center operates cause I have frens working such operations b4.
I will share this incident in other forums...not to cause malice to anyone's reputation but sharing as a consumer experience. Nothing above has been made up and everything said is nothing but the truth as happende ;(

Hi fellows. Super-noob qn here: for those who need to post their warranty card themselves, just paste a stamp on the "outgoing" portion & dump into the post box ah? Dun need to put in an envelope ah? Leave that single piece exposed just mail like that?
