Try this: Panasonic warranty help

If it has an international or USA guarantee and is only a few months old, I would have it seen to sooner rather than later.

Once a camera starts performing badly, then it can only get worse!

Saying that, I had my Panasonic a fortnight and dropped it down the (carpeted) stairs. Last week my Grandson was taking photos with it and what did he do? Dropped it! Survived both times with no ill effects, so I feel Panasonic do make tough little cameras. You will not regret the choice as it takes cracking good pictures, so get it fixed, is my advice.
