Does the barrel fully retract when the camera is shut down? I suspect a mechanical problem... If you're not very technical, I do not recommend opening it up... Try whapping the objective a little. I'm not kidding; the problem may be caused by some gears that got stuck... Otherwise, it could be quite hairy because the zoom motor or its controlling electronics could have gone bad...
Oh, and check out this link:

Yes, the barrel will stay fully extended when you shut it down, most of the time anyways. When you power the camera on it will zoom in and out and back out. It is kind of like it hasgone crazy. But the focal view is fully zoomed, when you try and move the little zoom switch in and out on the side it doesn't "un"zoom. Does this make any sense to you?
Great comments onthat site. Thanks.....
