Cant get the zoom to work... - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 Digital Camera

if u look at the bottom of the screen or something, u will usually see a thing that shows how much u zoomed in or out. if u wait for the thing to disappear off the screen, it should not zoom back out or in when u do it. if that doesnt work then i cant help u.

Please tell me more, Like what powershot camera and if you were able to use the zoom before. What happened short before you could not use the zoom any more?

It sounds like there may be a hardware issue with your Zoom G1 multi-effects pedal. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Reset the device: Try resetting the device to its factory settings by holding down the "store" button while powering on the device. If the device does not respond, move on to step 2.
2. Check the power source: Make sure that the device is being powered by a stable and appropriate power source. If you are using batteries, try replacing them with fresh ones. If you are using a power adapter, make sure it is the correct voltage and amperage for the device.
3. Check the firmware: It's possible that there is a problem with the firmware on your device. Visit the Zoom website to see if there is an updated firmware version available for your device.
4. Contact Zoom support: If none of the above steps work, it may be necessary to contact Zoom support for further assistance. They may be able to diagnose and repair any issues with your device.

Hopefully one of these steps will help resolve the issue with your Zoom G1. Good luck!

There is no zoom feature for that camera

Pull the battery. Hard reset. Worked for me! :-)

i had that same problem. check your image size, the camera cant zoom if the image size is set to 3.1M or 2.8M(3:2)

how to change image size:
turn on camera and leave it in camera mode (picture taking mode)
press the delete/image button
change image size until camera zooms again
VGA gives the biggest zoom range

i hope this helps
it worked on my camera

An E:61:10 error means Zoom operations fault Inspect the lens block zoom reset sensor.
You can try to do a manual reset on your camera. If that doen't work it will probably have to be sent in for service.
