MY CAMERA PROBLEMS

Get yourself a cardreader and use it for downloading instead of the camera.

zoom error indicates a problem in the lens mechanism, Its either stuck or there may be sand in there.. Is it extending all out? does it go back in? Sorry but the only solution to this is either to tap it on the side or take it to a professional who can do the cleaning inside or fix broken parts.

the same thing was happening to mine, what i did was i moved the lens area back and forth,gently while turning it on and off, maybe its dust or maybe one of my little ones messed with it. i plan to keep on messing around wit it so that i won't have to be doing that, but meanwhile that worked to get rid of when it says zoom error. hope this temporary solution works.;-}

Hello

Thank you for using FixYa for your problem

Zoom has had a knock
Always check the batteries first but if is it still giving the same fault, your camera is faulty.
It should be taken to an authorized repair centre for a repair estimate. Very few digital cameras have any user-serviceable parts.

Please rate our solutions and if you still have problems please call back for more ideas to help you

Awesome ! ! ! That works ! ! ! ... Turning off, removing battery for 30 secs., putting it back on, and reboot. Thanks ! ! !

that happen to my camera, exactly same thing. and i figured out when i dropped it the zoom out zoom in lens was bent and stuck part way in camera. My brother was playing around and moved lens and it started to work again. If lens looks a little crooked try moving it or putting it straight. Hope it helps

THE CAMERA ZOOMED OUT COMPLETELY AND WHEN I SWITCHED OFF IT REMAINS AS IT IS , AFTER PUTTING BATTERY & ROLL IT SHOWING ( f 1 ) & AFTER SOMTIME ( f 2 ) AND AGAIN IT WILL SHOWING ( f 1 ) ON INDICATOR.

This sounds like there is debris lodged in the zoom gears. Been to the beach lately? The gears in the zoom mechanism are very small, and even a tiny spec of sand or other debris can jam them up. Alternatively the sensor inside the lens that feeds back the position of the lens to the control circuit may be failing - so the camera thinks the lens has retracted all the way and stops. If the stoppage of the zoom action is abrupt then it is probably debris, if it is a smooth stoppage like the camera is stopping on purpose it is probably a position sensor. Either way the camera will require repair. David Millier Advance Camera Repair

hey there same thing happened to me, solution go to setup button where it says camera go down to digital zoom turn to on,
then go to setup 1 where it says conversion lens, turn to off solved my problem
hope this helps you.

If you dont have rechargable NiMH batteries get these first. Alkalines just dont have the power anymore these newer devices need. If you do have NiMH and yours still having problems try and tap on the lenses as you power it on. As the motors that drive the autofocus and the lens mechanisim wear they draw more current. When this happens the unit draws more power then the batteries can supply and you run into problems. If your camera has a battery pack you may need a new one. They test them new and everything is good on paper but after some use things change.
