Introduction

If your Panasonic SDR H-100 zoom lever is sticking, working inconsistently, or not working at all, then use this guide to replace the malfunctioning part.

The zoom function on the Panasonic SDR H-100 allows the user to move their point of view closer to or further from the subject.

Before beginning, make sure to completely power off your device and disconnect it from any external power sources.
