HPX170 serial number...is my cam wobble free?

[Filmkid2003]

Hey everyone, I just bought an HPX170 (from a Panasonic authorized dealer, not gray market) and the serial number starts with a "G". Does that mean that the lens wobble issue and any other issues the HPX170 had are already fixed when I bought my camcorder since the serial number starts with a "G"?

Not certain about the serial number - but I'm pretty certain if you bought it anytime in the past few months that you're fine.
The wobble issue was very short lived, and there are no other issues I know of with the camera.

Of course, the easiest way to know for certain woudl be to check your image.
If you can zoom in and pull focus without seeing the image wobble back and forth - then you're fine.
