Default FZ30 focusing problem between 300 and 420

Hi all -

my FZ30 does not focus between zoom values of 300 and 420, the
green lamp blinks.
As distance I took nearly infinity.

If I first zoom to 300 (where the focusing works) and then go to
higher zoom (e.g. 320) the focusing still settles and the green
lamp is staedy. This works up to about 350. Above about 350 no
focusing happens.

Presumably it should be sent to a repair shop but
does any body know such a behavior?

How close are you trying to focus? There may be a limit on how close the
camera can focus at a particular zoom distance. Have you tried the Macro
setting? (Generic advice, not specific to this camera).
