SOURCE: The Power Zoom appears to be locked at 80mm.
(I just cut-n-pasted the comment into the solution so this shows up as a solved problem in searches.)
"I've found the solution!
Just goes to show that sometimes it's worth simply calling the importer's service department, who told me in 30 seconds!!
Hold the zoom twist-ring and push, or click it up or down, depending on which way you are holding the lens.
So simple; I even accused him of not knowing what he was talking
about.. and of course apologised profusely when it suddenly happened."
SOURCE: What cameras does this lens fit?
Vivitar made this lens with several different mounts, including mounts for Canon and Minolta cameras. Your best bet is to take the lens with you to a large camera store. The staff at the store may be able to simply identify which mount your lens has, or they can try the lens on different camera bodies to see which it fits.

Check if the lens is properly mounted. If still you get the error message, clean the electrical contacts between the lens and the camera using an eraser. Take care not to let any dust fall into the body. Attach the lens and try.

Hi i am sagha from mumbai,Being a technician i can suggest you that this problem is not solvable by yourself. It has got a broken film PCB inside your lens.It is getting partially connected when on 24 mm so hurry get it repaired from recognised repairer or else will show error on all focal lengths.All the best
