I have a fujifilm F10 digital camera. Its zoom lens is broken and it is not possible to focus. where can I get it repaired? is there authorised service centre for fuji in bangalore

If you are using a zoom lens and you can focus manually then the problem could be a broken ribbon connector. These are flexible to cope with keeping a connection as the lens zooms in and out. They do break after a time depending on the usage. It is a simple repair for a camera shop.

Unfortunately it sounds like there is damage to the lens which is only fixable by replacing the lens assembly.

The labor involved plus the price of a used lens (a new one would only be possibly be available through Fuji directly if they will still repair the camera) would be far more than the value of the camera.

You can probably buy a used one on 3b@y for $30. (They don't pay me so I don't type their name)

The non functioning of the camerazoom can be a fault in the failure of the Main control system or the drive. A simple was is to reset and we can try by removing the battery and card for some time. Now replace only the battery and while switching power ON, tap the lens hood on the palm of your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. Unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must the camera be opened. If so check the voltage on the motor drive, check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and released. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
Get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the authorised service as you do not have to run around for spares.

Thank You for using Fixya

Your cameras focus lens is probably stuck.
It operates via a long metal rod, a pin which follows a track in the side wall of the lens and a tensioned spring. one or more of these has probably jammed causing the focus lens not to move when you zoom.
Unfortunately for this camera, if you cannot free it by switching on/off, tapping the lens etc, you will have to strip the camera down to get at the lens unit. you will have to discharge the flash capacitor before desoldering the control board from the main board before removing to access the lens.
Recommend you find someone who knows about this or send to Fuji.

Hi,
    This problem is related to the malfunctioning of zoom motor, Two possibilities are there,
1- If company provides technical help on component leve in your regionl then zoom motor may replace.
2- If component level support is not available then LENS ASSEMBLY must be replaced.
   Contact your nearest fuji service centre or contact any expert nearby for the specific part replacement.
    Thanks for using fixya.

pls update firmware issue will be resolved most likely and pls rate me fixya for help

If the shutter and Zoom function both do not operate, you need to send the camera to an authorised repair center. Was the camerra exposed to salt/sea air? If so, you can take a soft rag and gently wipe around the lens area where it meets the body, remove the battery, reinstall the battery and try it. If not, send it in.

The lens will need to be removed, stripped and then re-assembled.
The drive for the zoom / focus has been dis-lodged or damaged

The zoom and focus operate on screw thread drives. 1 of these has detatched resulting in "ZOOM ERROR" and locked the camera up. Dis-assemble lens and re-attach drive.

If the "!ZOOM ERROR" message is displayed on the digital camera, switch the camera off and on again 2 or 3 times.
If this does not clear the error, take the camera to your nearest FUJIFILM Service Station for testing and repairs. Problem may caused by lens zooming gears stuck.
