Ebay a parts camera - with a working camera ( most ' as is ' have tape problems ) , get jeweler ' s screwdrivers and take pictures ! as you begin disassembly - so you can put it back together ; a good technician can do the swap in 2 hours from start to testing ( your pictures will be interesting , whether you finish or not ! )

Getting an zoom error on my fuji film finepix z90, what can i do?

Lens errors (zoom errors on Fuji's) 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 lens error problems can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some last resort troubleshooting steps that you can try 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 (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try.

My web cam 4tech is not clear

Is the audio not clear or the video not clear?.

If the camera is plugged in and installed correctly then you should be able to open up a web cam program like skype, gmail or messenger and test out the camera, as well as adjust the camera's settings.

If the camera lens does not have auto focus, see if you can move the camera lens around in both directions. Some cameras have this for manual focusing. If you cannot access the camera lens then it SHOULD have an auto focus feature.

Also, play around with the camera settings (brightness, focus, zoom, sharpness) to find the best combination of setting for your environment.

Older cameras dont have very good resolutions so don't expect a high quality image or frame rate.

Picture not focused at 12x zoom

It's probably something to do with a lag or jam on your shutterspeed. so when you hit the button, and move you get a little blur. If its not this you might need to have your lens cleaned inside and out due to the camera zooms and catches the blurs on the lens after zooming so far in. I would recommend taking it to your local camera shop for adjustments and cleaning.

Camera doesn't focus

There are many reasons why images can appear out of focus. strangely if you think about it it is not focusing per se like photographic cameras the focus is at infinity by default- from about 50cm - out So if the images appear out of focus these are some of the reasons shots taken in low light with a low ASA setting resulting in long exposure -thus camera shake. Focus hunting- there are various methods used but if the mechanism cannot 'lock' onto something the focus motor will 'hunt' Faulty zoom Optic Zoom mechanism. Inadvertently set to 'Macro' mode Grease on the lens Careful checking of the camera- its settings- with the manual is essential before declaring the camera faulty Don't forget the paper manual is a nodensed version of the full manual on the software disk.

Focus Problem

A small amount of dirt on the lens would just produce some flare and redule overall contrast slightly. It wouldn't produce a grossly out of focus image. Either you misaligned something or you messed up the autofocus system somehow. Can you focus the lens manually. Many consumer grade digital cameras allow you to set the focus at some specific distance. Do that measuring the distance carefully, and see if the image is still out of focus. Digital cameras tend to have a lot of depth of field, so there must be something seriously wrong with the mechanism.
