My fuji s7000's lens got stuck with a zoom error. Is it software? Then where do I download it from? Is it hardware? What should be done? Kindly advise.

Have same problem fujifinepix6900zoom is solution same
There is 6 small screws
Hi
Mine did this and refused to function.
Take the batteries and card out just in case.
I then took out the 6 screws in the lens shroud (3 sets of two - note 1 long one and 1 short one for each set) and removed the shroud cover to one side. The lens barrel is located in the inner shroud and has a very close tolerance. This is the main cause of the problem as an dirt or dust just clogs up the fine tolerance. Try and jiggle the lens shroud slightly and if need beapply a little lens cleaning fluid in the clearance gap. Put batteries back in the camera and try to start the camera. The lens should move as normal. Keep perservering as this will solve the problem. It is only dirt stoping the lens from moving combined with the low power of the motor powering the lens focusing. Take care at all times and be sparing with any lens cleaning fluid.
Best of luck

This can be 2 different problems. First is low battery condition, early models of this camera had power control problems, ie battery can still be drained even though camera is off. If you know your camera has good batteries, you can try this if you feel brave: unscrew the 3 small screws at the base of the lens, this will allow lens shroud to come off. You can then extend the lens manually simply by twisting it. Leave lens fully extended, reassemble lens shroud, then turn on camera. Lens should reset.
If you dont feel confident in doing this yourself, visit a qualified camera shop, they should know all about this problem.
As a note, if you suspect your camera has the first problem, battery drains even though camera is off, Fuji can do a firmware update which fixes this (for a price). Fuji does not provide firmware for download, bummer.
If its the second problem and what I suggest fixes it, it will probably happen again. Best I can recommend is to not use it when the battery gets low.

On some stage the lens was not moving when switching on. Now it does, but on the display instead of the picture I only see a kind of malfunction lines and instead of proper pictures gives just a white/purple color...
I believe it is a software problem - any chance of re-install the software from somewhere?
i have a Fuji S700 and i keeo getting the zoom error but the lens is all the way in and i dont see the screws that are being talked about.
