Canon Elura 60 - Zoom is on maximum and won't restore. I own Canon Elura 60 since last two years and now i'm facing problems with zoom. Zoom button does go to and fro but actual zoom doesn't take effect. Also print share blue light is continuosly ON (of course when camcorder is On). I tried everything in their user manual but no luck. One observation is both zoom and share button are very close by.:) Appreciate any fixes for the same. Thanks Ravi

The zoom assembly will need to be replaced. This repair should be done by an experienced technician. Unfortunately, there is no easy fix that you can do yourself.

Hope this helps you.

Smack the bottom of the camera with the palm of your hand and it will unstick the zoom. Worked for me!

The zoom is stuck. Smack the bottom of the camera with the palm of your hand. Worked like a charm for me.

I had a similar problem. Searching Google for a solution, I came across the old -- "if it doesn't work, smack it" trick:

Remove any tape in the camera.
Remove the battery.

With your hand holding the top of camera, hit it firmly with a book on the bottom. I used about a 200 page paperback.

I suspect it is a electro-mechanical switch that gets stuck in the "On" position, and a little jolt frees it up again.

I have done this twice in the last month, and it works great.

Short-term : smack it like others suggested. Long-term get it fixed by Canon.

Guys, so weird but on another site it offered this suggestion: banged the base of your camera against something hard and it will become unstuck. So bang the base of your camera against something hard and it will work again, at least it works like it did but not sure for how long. Good luck. I can't believe that worked. Give it a try. I didnt hit it too hard either.

Listen, I know it's a couple of years after this post but, try this: Remove cassette, push to close, close camera as if to use it, hold firmly in left hand, open hand slap it with your right hand once or twice, (I'm not joking) it worked the two times I had this problem. Problems with the zoom? Almost same process, push firmly on zoom button (to un-zoom) try doing this as your tapping it. These are last ditch efforts on an aging camera, it really has been a good one. I've put this poor thing through years of abuse, and it's held up pretty well. Good luck, Jeff S.

 I have the same probelm how can i fix this. 

I have the same problem. I have no fix in rec mode but if it happens during playback; press menu and select the zoom options. You don't have to pick any but just keep the menu displayed on the screen. I do this while recording the tape to my DVD recorder and it solves the locked zoom problem. The menu display does not get recorded.
This zoom problem is a big pain. We should start a class action suit against Canon. It started within a year of ownership with mine. I bought a Panasonic recently and haven't looked back.
Panasonic doesn't have the slick Canon marketing/packaging but it is a much better machine.

Banging the camera solved the problem on my elura 60! I have whack the camcorder three times again the other hand. It worked.

I had this trouble for two years!
