Everything is blurry onscreen and when I attempt to zoom out the zoom will not work. It is saying 1x. I have tried to preset back to factory default setting but is not working.
Did you try holding down the record button and the picture snap shot button at the same time to reset it? It did for me.
The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place or impaired in some way and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

Mine is stuck on zoom and will NOT focus!
My zoom is busted too! I can focus at 3x and 17x but the picture is the same. The zoom does not change. A 3 inch object takes up the entire screen from 20 ft away.
My zoom is stuck and the lens will not focus, either on manual and automatic. When you move the zoom lever, you can see a straight line at the position the lens is stuck. Anyone know how to "unstuck" the lens? It just happened and there were no drops or bumps on the camera previously.
I am having the same problem, and the camcorder is unusable.

I have the same problem the zoom works but the focus will not adjust. So all I see is a blurry image. Please help!
Spoke with JVC technical support. They had me try to discharge the unit by keeping it on with no power source hooked up (no plug, no battery) for 1 hour. They said it is caused by static on internal capacitors.
That didnt work. So now they say that means the lens is broken and it needs to be fixed. They didnt quote a price, but could be anywhere from $100 - $275. Darn camcorder is only worth a little more than that.
Bottom line: Doesnt look like there is a fix. Each user needs to check warranty info or JVC will charge charge you for fixing the darn lens. Seems like they should check for faulty zoom lens, but they are not.
