Jvc GY-HM100u will not focus. I removed the lens hood to attach a wide angle adapter but could neither reattach the hood or get the camera to focus. I tried auto mode, auto focus, even reset the camera to it's defaults. I need help.

The most likely cause for this is a zoom or focus lens out of place or impaired in some way. This will require disassembling camera to remove the lens block and then disassembling the lens block to repair. This can be done fairly inexpensively. However, it's not really a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired by a qualified service technician.

I'm semi retired and work from home with little overhead so I can keep repair costs low. If you decide to have the camera repaired, please click HERE for a directory listing that suits your needs.
