Help my optical zoom lens won't come out so I cnanot use my camera at all. Im not impressed I just bought this camera for christmas .My friends all have cheaper ones for years and are still working and I bought this one months ago and now I can't use it at all. Could you please help me with this problem .thank u

I have a casio qv-r51 with a similiar problem. The zoom goes out but will not move back and forth. the camera will not take still pictures. Every other option works, even the video option works, but not the still pictures or zoom.

Worse even yet, I bought the camera in Canada, and now I live in Ecuador where they do not have any type of service. The factories suggestio was send it to the USA for repairs. but by the time I finish with expenses, it will be cheaper to buy a new camera.

I have pretty much the same problem. I turned on the camera as usual and handed it to my husband. I'm not sure what happened once I handed it to him, but either he turned it off or it powered down on it's own and now the lens won't open. I've had the camera for about 3yrs and it's been great until now. A quick, cheap fix would be nice...any ideas? I have pretty much the same problem.
