If taking the battery out for at least 15 minutes, pressing the power button without the battery in the camera, and then after you put
the battery in the camera doesn't work to fix a problem you can reset the camera to factory settings like this:

I had the same problem. After e-mailing customer service and finding no help, I took the case off the camera and traced the wiring from the buttons to the circuit board. I unplugged the wires from the circuit board and plugged them back in. Everything is working like new! You'll need a small screwdriver set and something to keep your screws in. They are tiny and easy to lose.

Moisture probably got inside to lock-up the mechanical drive. Leave it in a dry environment for a few days then try again. If it doesn't work then it'll need repair in a shop.

I was initially going to say this sounded rather like a switch error but I'm thinking this is a motherboard problem inside the camera.
A switch will either work or not. When they break they tend to stay in the on or off mode or in this case zoom or not. The fact that the camera is unzooming itself suggests to me that there is a signal or command if you will coming from the main board. I'm curious if the camera will even take pictures as this almost sounds like behaviour I would expect to see when turning the camera on.
Unfortunately I do not see any other option other than sending it in to Canon for repair. If you have warranty they will of course repair or replace the boards inside or even the switch. If you don't have warranty you need to be cautious about any repair costs. The camera is selling for about $450 and depending on what needs to be done and if Canon is offering a flat repair fee for this now then you can get them to fix or replace it. I've not had to replace a board in this model so I don;t know what the cost would be. It can be more than the camera is worth which is why you need to be cautious.
I've used Canons all my life and Canon support has always been fantastic. So I would call the store you purchased and see if you have any warranty either extended store warranty or just Canons. They will probably know if Canon has any repair deals but I wouldn't hesitate to contact Canon support. They may ask you to try a few things over the phone before sending it in. Make sure you ask about any fixed repair fee if it is available. If not keep in mind the repair verses replacement cost before spending any money. I don't work for Canon but have used their cameras for years and anytime I have had problems they have always done more than I expected. A couple of examples was asking about a driver for a used camera and they sending a new driver cd at no charge. They even repaired a camera that was just out of warranty at no charge. Canon will treat you right so don't hesitate to call them.
