Can't zoom! I can no longer take photos with my camera! When I turn it on it makes some weird noises as the zoom lens adjusts, and then the viewer screen is blurry when it comes on. If I try to zoom in or zoom out, the camera simply shuts off. I can view pictures that I have already taken, and the battery is charged. What's going on?!

    I dropped my camera while on vacation and have this same problem.  It whirs, can't focus, then shuts off.

    I put new batteries in it and it still isn't working. I don't know what too do. I think they may be sand in the lens.
