Panasonic warranty for cameras & lenses
The short version
Panasonic doesn't cover everything, but keeps camera or lens covered to 3 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 13 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Panasonic's published warranty, checked October 2026.
