The non-functioning of the camera can be a fault in the shutter, zoom or auto focus sections and may be due to the failure of the Main control system or the drive. A simple was is to reset and we can try by removing the battery and card for some time. Now replace only the battery after checking or formatting the card , make sure you transfer all the images to the PC.

Now it is possible that the control system has errors and so does no load the program as desired.
Keep offf battery for few hours while pressing down the start and menu buttons.

If not there are errors in the servo and unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must the camera be opened. If so check the voltage on the motor drive, check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and released. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
Get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the authorised service as you do not have to run around for spares.

When i open the camera and want to use the zoom and press the zoom in button amessage saying lens error 0*2119 appears and the camera swithes off

You need "digital zoom" switched on. Go to the menu and then into the "settings" section. One of the settings will be "digital zoom". You will have to enter into that setting and set it to "ON".

Camera doing its own thing.

Depending on the age and use of the batteries it could well be time to replace them. The best test would be to buy a new set of high power alkalkine batteries which you know to be fresh and try them. If everything works then invest in a new set of rechargeables. A respected brand with a high milliamp rating is best. It is possible one of your rechargables has lost the will to live and just died don't add just one battery. Change the complete set.

I've repaired a number of Pentax cameras where everything was OK except for the batteries.

Menu button is not working

My Optio E30 was not zooming because the small ribbon cable from the button strip was dirty/oxidized. All of the back panel buttons are on the same button strip. I needed to open the camera and remove the ribbon from the connector and gently clean the ribbon cable contacts with 600 grit sand paper. It now zooms perfectly.

I have got a zoom error on my fuji Finepix V10. When you turn the camera on the zoom starts to come out and then quickly retracts. How can I fix it?

Sounds like the timing for the sensors on the lens are out and will need to be reset.
lens unit will need to be removed and reset

My camera will come on and the shut off immediately it is an optio m20 I am not sure it it is the setting but how do i get it to stay on long enough to change the setting?

Yep, it happened to my friends optio m20 and I've just fixed it, but it took about 15 minutes of random button bashing to solve. It is hard to say exactly which combination succeeded (it was all a bit frenzied), but I had my left hand continually switching the camera on and off whilst my right hand was on one or both of the bottom buttons (menu and recycle bin) I then pressed the zoom button and the whole thing kicked into life with a message saying green mode must be switched off. this was achieved by pressing the bottom right recycle button.The camera is now performing normally. I'm not a camera engineer but i'm not one to be beaten,so it can be done. Good luck and don't throw it out of the window if at first you don't succeed.

Pentax s5z doesn't take any more pictures

Here's another method to fix this problem.
Push the ON Button for some while and you will go to MEMO recording screen, in this mode the MENU button works and you can RESET the camera.
