The dv150f samsung camera was recording a video. and it produces a statement when you switch it on the zoom did nt start properly remove the battery and re insert it . what is its default setting

SOURCE: Canon Powershot S3 IS switches off when I zoom out

It definitely does sound like one of a few things:

• The transmission system that moves the lens in and out has a problem with it's gears. There is most likely a gear or an actuator that has fallen out of alignment and is getting stuck at a certain point as the lens comes in/out.
• The motor or servo that drives the transmission system is failing and could be surging the current back into the cameras other components.
  
• There is a physical deformity of the lens architecture itself that is preventing the lens from coming in/out.

Any of these symptoms above could trigger the camera to shut itself off to protect itself from further damage. This would give you the reason and opportunity to contact the manufacturer and get assistance with it.

This is something you're definitely going to have to refer to Canon's technical support on. If your camera is still under warranty, you're going to have to get them to replace it or at the very least SERVICE it.

I myself will ALWAYS insist on REPLACEMENT. One might argue that the terms of the limited warranty state that they reserve the right to either replace or service the device...

...but TRUE customer service tells a different story. I have NEVER had anything serviced. I have always had replacements. Either I've INSISTED on it or they've just been smart and not even made it an issue by making it their procedure. I get a brand spankin' new device and THEY get a happy customer.

Always keep in mind how much you spent on their product and ENGRAIN that into their heads.

Here's the deal...

If you ARE out of warranty, get around that by telling them that you DID buy it within the last 9 months and that you do NOT have proof of purcahse. If they insist on asking for it, then humor them and "try" to look for it and once again inform them that you do NOT have it.

They can't really dispute the warranty at that point if they can't prove that you DIDN'T buy it within the last 9 months.

I hate to work the system like that... But I paid $400 for mine. I'll be damned if I'm going to be out the money for it! Am I right?

Anyway... That is the best advice I can give you, unfortunately.

Call them as soon as you can! Get it replaced!

If you think that you can keep yourself together and composed well enough to play the system... Contact Canon's tech support and see what you can accomplish.

Remember... It's not as if you're going to get in any trouble. The worst they can do is refuse you. You have NOTHING to lose but the money you spent on the camera!

You shouldn't need to do it all the time. This is just a quick fix. Just like when you hit ctrl-alt-del on your computer.
