Question about Fuji FinePix 6900 Zoom Digital Camera

2 Answers

Zoom error Greetings! I dropped (duh!) my camera and the lens will no longer come out when powered up. Instead I get ZOOM ERROR. I often take things apart to see if I can solve the problem on my own first(it's not like I'm going to break it ;) Anyways, that's where I'm stuck this time...don't know how to disassemble the zoom mechanism housing from the camera body to get access to the zoom mechanism itself. Any ideas? Thanks for any assistance. Cheers!

    Thanks for the advice but no pinhole on my camera unfortunately. Also, I still have power to run the zoom but the gears have become misaligned and so it won't move. Thanks again!

    The mechanism for moving the lens out when the camera is turned on seems to be jammed.

In looking for the pinhole, which I never found, I noticed that the lens housing was misaligned - there was more space on the top where it meets the camera body than at the bottom.  Apparently my daughter had knocked the housing when she was using it (and of course didn't tell me) and it got stuck.  A gentle rocking pushed the lens housing back and voila! no more zoom problems.  Thanks for the help.  I can't afford to put the camera in the shop!

Look for a tiny pinhole and insert a pin while powered up to reset...if this does not work, if you get to the point to see any electric motor, then apply a battery powered set of jumper wires to the motor to manually run the zoom back and forth. start with one battery (1.5 volts) only!

I have an FS15 and get the error message, 'system error zoom' the lens is not centred and does not retract. The camera has not been dropped and is c15m old.
Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ... Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

'zoom error' on olympus sp-560 uz
I had this problem and managed to fix it. The camera was dropped on a stone floor and the zoom error was present every time it was turned on. A ring or other piece of the lens was bent or damaged, in my non professional opinion. A profesional repair is my advice. However you may try my fix at YOUR OWN RISK.

Switch camera on, when zoom extends, but before it closes down due to zoom error, gently but firmly push lens back in. Drop batteries for camera to reset itself. Repeat, if necessary.

My camera now operates fully and when the lens extends it now no longer makes the slight grinding noise.

Good luck and remember at your own risk.
