iFixitThe Nikon Coolpix S220 is a compact 10.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. Designed with a 2.5 inch LCD ... If camera is in Video Mode the optical zoom will not work.
iFixitThe zoom function is not working while camera is on; Zoom is not available in ... If your camera does not turn on, make sure that the battery is fully charged. If after a charge the camera still doesn't turn on, your batteries may no longer be able ... modebutton, the playback button, or the movie record button doesn't work, turn ...
My camera did the same....it turned out to be a sticking zoom switch. With the camera turned OFF... move the zoom button ON TOP ( above the view finder) of the camera to the left and right about 20 or 30 times... then turn the camera on and try it.... very simple... but it worked for me :o)

You have a bad button board . This is a single board with a series of small button switches that control all these functions. Most repair shop will charge around 75.00 to fix.
So you're pressing the Zoom button but it has no effect, am i correct?
There can be 2 issues - small (dust/moisture), not small(inside button gone bad).
Small Issue: Keep the camera in sunlight(not very hot) for a while. (not loaded). Wipe off with clean lint-free cotton cloth. Keep it again in sunlight for a while. If moisture is the issue then it should go off, though i have seen in some cases it took 3-4 days and suddenly it started working.
If still no response from Zoom then the internal zoom small button has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Send it for repairs.
Your zoom may be turned off, here is how you can turn it back on: When you are about to take a picture, press the little menu button, then press down until it says digital zoom, if the little black box is over-top of 'off' change it to say 'on'. Hope this helps.....and makes sense.
I had exactly the same problem. You just need to smash once with your hand on the bottom of your camera (it looks that this works for all canon cameras).
I am not sure if this is a solution. but one time, i turned on my camera when the battery is really drained. usually (when it was broken) it will automatically zoom in. but that certain period when i turned it on, even before it can zoom in, the battery drained and the camera went off. i charged the battery and when i put it back and turned on the camera, it works fine. it is still working fine. good thing i didnt had the repair center fix it, because they charge really high price.
It sound like a problem with the zooming mechanism (lens would not retract or extended)
Press the power button on and hold it down while extending and twisting the telescopic zoom lens. It might fix your problem.
In any case it could not make it worse
Good luck!
