GZMG130 stuck in zoom mode - anyone else have this problem? All of a sudden, when I turn the camera on and look at the viewing screen, everything is zoomed in all the way and out of focus. If I try to zoom in and out, nothing happens. I've removed the battery and tried resetting it, but nothing fixes the issue. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

Yea, this is ridiculous. This just happened to us, and I see posts all over the internet that the JVC Everio gets dropped and then the zoom is stuck. Our was $300, and we've really only gotten about 1 good year out of it. I won't be buying JVC again, that's for sure.

My JVC does the same exact thing. It's only a year and a half old and has never been dropped or anything. I've hardly used it and always take good care of it. I'm beginning to see that this is happening to others with the same camera. I called JVC and they told me to send it in for an "evaluation" to the tune of $60. Then he told me the minimum repair cost for this camera is another $150! I think we should all keep calling JVC until they do something about a problem that is obviously not isolated. I paid over $400 for this camera. The camera was good but JVC needs to stand by their product. My JVC does the same exact thing.

See the discussion "Flip Not Fitting in Macbook USB." There are a lot of people facing the same problem. I had a little bit of a jerky problem on something I shot outside. I thought mine might be due to the fact that I had zoomed in and out. I need to shoot more video to really figure out what the problem is. Perhaps yours had to do with zooming?

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Hi, yes there is one issue. Once it got freeze when i was focusing in low light. No controls were responding including on-off switch. I had to remove battery to restart the camera. I am waiting for Ricoh to announce this as a known issue and release firmware update soon. Thanks.

I leave the i-Contrast turned ON. That might help. I also find when I use the ZOOM I need to give it a second or two to focus and then I can take the photo. Still learning too but love this camera!!!!

i jsust tried out the tz5 at best buy and noticed after taking 3 photos in burst mode it stopped and i got a writing message on the screen while it saved the images which i've never seen on any other camera i've used. Does anyone know how long it takes for the tz5 to save the picture or was this normal?

I have not opened it yet. It's a Cmas present for my daughter. Usually near the battery, sometimes with the battery there is a switch (they have it on demo mode in the box) it'll need switched to full mode. Or there is sometimes a plastic tab you need to remove to activate full mode. Hope this helps. :)

Sounds like you have digital zoom enabled as that feature is not available in raw.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

A review on the FZ7 indicated that AF (autofocus) needed to be on and just to press the button 1/2 way - wait for AF to work (a fewseconds) - then press full. Solved his problems. 2 or 3 reviewers stated same. Low ISOwas a "gimmee" w/o flash. Try autofocus (you are not using zoom and have light.

I returned my camera because it was only 1280 x 720 in resolution. The seller did a bait and switch. The brief time I used it it worked well. Try a reset or removing the battery (if either is possible) is all I can think of to do.

I have this kind of issue, but with my SX130 in macro mode. At first I thought it was the lighting, but I took an identical picture, identical position, settings, etc. with my Elph 300 HS, and no such problem. The 300 has actually been fantastic for me, images are much sharper and colors more vivid than the 130 even though I set them to identical settings. Thinking of trading the 130 in for either the Elph 500 or the SX230 - I want a P&S (want something more portable than my DSLR) with shutter and aperture controls with same (or better) image quality as the Elph 300 (and less than $300). Now just have to test both of them out first.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

I am not aware of the Zoom issue but most if not all of the 990i cameras to this point will need the update. The change has been made to the cameras and we need to get through the cameras that are out there yet. This firmware update is designed to correct video capture to utilize the full field of view of the sensor when in HD video mode. It also resolves the "clicking" issue from the IR filter moving after every capture at night. The filter will now correctly move twice per day: at day-to-night / night-to-day transitions.

Sorry for the delay as i was out of town. I just tried it out and yes you can zoom in recording mode.

My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

Nathan, I think it could be a firmware fix as well. I tried the continuous AF mode as well and it didn't help.
