There is no bulb that you can change.

First, make sure there is a camera problem:

Put your camera in Auto Mode, go into a dark room and take a picture and see if the flash worked.

If it did not flash, then reset your camera.

I believe that is described on page 35 of the camera manual.

You could have inadvertently set something that is causing the flash not to work.

The Reset will reset the camera to factory specifications.

Again, put the camera in Auto mode and take a picture in a dark room.

If it did not flash - it is time to call Panasonic Service for repairs.
If your camera is less than a year old, it is still under warranty at Panasonic.
