Palmcorder will not focus

The unit all of a sudden won't focus and the digital zoom won't work. The on screen display will show it going from 1X to 10X zoom but the blurry shot never changes. My daughter thought she may have pushed a sequence of buttons to cause it but I can't figure out what that would be.

My 55-200mm lens won't focus. It goes in and out, repeatedly without focusing. It used to work great. It will not work on auto, as it did before, or manual, or resetting the camera to default settings....

if other auto-focus lenses work, then it is likely that this particular lens has a defect I suggest you send it in to Nikon for servicing

Turn on auto focus and when you are taking a shot let Auto-Focus adjust the blurry image in the viewfinder beforeyou take a shot. If you do not know how to do it please let me know and I will give you detailed instructions.

JVC Digital Camera focus

Did it work before? If so then it sounds like the focus motor/screw jack has failed and needs replacing. With some JVCs you can replace the whole lens system and a new one will re-calibrate itself, but I'd have to check on this model.

The zoom only works upto 2X. When you zoom and it usually shows a bar from 1X to 12X, the camera only shows 1X to 2X. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try going into the menu of the camera and reset your camera. Other than that you may have a bad lens.

I have a 10" frame. The picture that I take with my digital camera is cropped by the frame. It seems to crop about an inch off the edges. How can I fix this. I can alter the picture if necessary.

Depends...
if it's during a slide show, then there's a slide show option "screen fit or fill". If you are set to fill then it will cut off edges, change the setting to screen fit.

or if it is cutting off all 4 sides when displaying a single photo, you may have the zoom turned on. Tap actions / zoom and set the zoom back to 1x.

Camara not focusing/ zoom not working

Its an error code and shows problem of Lens mechanism.
Lens focus / zoom motor is stuck that's why camera gives out of focus image.
You need to replace Lens Assembly and it would cost you more then camera worth.
