Hi,

I bought a compact camera from Currys about 8 months ago.

 

Recently, I noticed that a fibre or dust particle has somehow got inside the lens, and appears in every shot I take.

 

It seems a trivial thing and technically I suppose the camera is not damaged, but since I can't remove it, it's spoiling all of my photographs.

 

I'd appreciate it anyone is able to advise wheter I have a right to request a free repair/cleaning or replacement?

 

The camera was purchased about 8 months ago on credit card.

 

Many thanks, in advance.

give the call center a ring

 

if i remember right they send out a self inflating envelope and instructions on how to send it for repair, wont need to go into store at all unless you would like it picking up from there, if you do want a pickup from store any curries/pcworld should do

Hi,

Unfortunately, the problem has returned. After a recent holiday, what I assume are a few grains of sand have got into the camera onto the lens. One may argue this is my fault, but it seems that the construction of the model is very susceptible to allowing debris into the body. I have taken the camera back to a local store, however they don't want to know as the camera is now out of warranty (by 2 weeks) and have told me to contact Panasonic directly.

 

I'm not sure exactly sure of my rights here, but if I have any would very much appreciate some advice on how to proceed.

 

Many thanks.
