Re: Help ! G7 Problem in the Philippines. Lens attachment failed.

I have just had this problem for the first time with my GX80. I hadn't changed lenses. The camera's IS made a nasty noise and nothing worked.
Turning on and off, removing/re-attaching lens, and removing and re-fitting battery didn't help.
Powering up with no lens fitted and re-fitting lens while it was powered up did make it work again.

Is my camera on the way out?
