Zoom lense going in and out when turned on

I've noticed other people have had this problem also, so I'm not the only one. I only use brand new batteries when using the camera, and once they are flat I buy new ones, but the problem is when I turn it on, the zoom lense comes out, then after 2 seconds or so, it goes back in and turns off, I dont get a picture at all on the screen. The camera of course is out of the warrenty time, by about 4 months. Any suggestions?

Try taking the batteries out and plugging it in. If it powers on, put fresh batteries in and try again off the AC. Once it's powered up from the AC, unplug it and see if it stays on. If it does, try restarting it. Good luck.

    yeah if that didn't work, it's probably best to take it in.

Digital Cameras
Since I have been a expert on Fix ya, I have seen many people write about the auto-focus of the digital zoom lens. Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you in the future.

The Right Lens for the Job
There is another reason for using zoom lenses, especially when you are taking pictures of people. Lenses can alter the appearance of your subject, and wide angle lenses can distort people’s faces – especially if you are taking our advice and getting in close. So, by all means, get close, but if you are doing a portrait, use your zoom as well. Longer lenses are more complimentary and should be used even if you are actually physically close to your subject

What Brand is your SLR?
This is important because every mounting brace for all the camera's are different for example, and Nikon will not fight on a Canon, Canon will not fit on a Pentax and so forth. Some may fit, but the auto focus will not work. So make sure you know your brand and model number before just going out and buying a lens for your camera.

Here are six steps to help you buy the best lens for your money and the camera.
  1. Determine the focal length you'll need
  2. Decide if you want a prime or zoom lens
  3. Select a maximum aperture
  4. Choose between first or third party lenses
  5. Evaluate any extra features
  6. Read reviews and narrow your options

Focus stack if you rotating it from infinity to 1.5m at ~6m and did not go to 1.5m it's only can be used in this range
Some zoom lenses have a focus lockout at certain zoom ranges. I'd be highly doubtful it'd be at 6m, but that's just a thought. For example, they may not be able to focus below 2m at the 100mm setting, so the focus locks out at that point at that setting.

I'd be looking for a shop, or contacting Nikon for a service center to take a look at it, and certainly don't try to force it less you risk doing further damage. Lens repairs can be tricky, so if it's a newer lens I'd leave it up to a Nikon center unless you've got a shop you've used before and trust.

Has the lens been dropped, bumped, damp, wet, in humid conditions, hot (over 90 or so F prolonged), extremely cold prolonged, in corrosive environments (acid or seawater nearby), etc?

Can you use the twist-barrell zoom lens on a Sony DSLR camera (or any DSLR) when the camera is set to auto-focus? I've been told that this damages the gears in the lens if you do. Thanks for your help.
You can zoom completely independent of the focus.

Some lenses immediately override the autofocus when it senses you turning the manual focus ring. Other lenses don't, and you can damage the lens by forcing it. It depends on the lens, so you'll have to consult the documentation for the specific lens.

Brand new 17-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor. Zoom ring rotates smoothly and easily 17-24mm but is really stiff from 24-35mm. Idiosyncrasy of this lens or mechanical problem?
It's faulty. Return it for refund or exchange.

Some batteries (especially the lower mAh rechargables) don't seem to have enough power. Try putting in a couple of brand-new (non-rechargeable) Duracells, and see if that helps.

Olympus SP-570UZ-zoom error
Had 570UZ for 2 weeks and "ZOOM ERROR" occured. Seemed hopeless. Changed batteries several times, bought new Alkaline.
No change. Finally decided that it is probably a connector problem.
Turned Camera Off. Held Camera by the lense barrel. Held palm of other hand and thrust the back of the camera ( LCD side) into the
other hand. The idea being to jostle the camera contents without cracking the LCD. Did this a couple of times, turned camera on and it works fine. At least for this evening. At least for now it seems like a classic component connector problem somewhere inside the camera.

Zoom ring is loose and drops/slides on its own
Yes, this happens even when the lens is brand new. Some other lenses have a Zoom lock to prevent it. What I did was to slip a flat rubber band around the black area just behind the zoom ring, the area where there is s white mark or line, with the band ring just touching the zoom ring. The rubber band should be fairly tight, but not too tight. When the zoom ring revolves, the rubber band touching it gives it just enough friction to prevent it from turning. You can adjust it to give as much friction as you want. Hope this helps. Jay

Zoom won't work
wow alot of people have gotten this problem with the lense in this camera.

Well to cure this problem , firstly turn on the camera, ensure the lense is out ,Then GENTLY tapp on the lense in the direction that the lense feels uneven or unequal length to the outer ring (place that looks uneven).This should hopefully get the gears aligned once more.
