I have a canon mvx250i camcoder that is having problems with its zoom. Sometimes when I turn the camera on it will zoom in (to the closest zoom) on its own, and when I try and zoom out - it will slowly zoom out, but then after I let go of the zoom out switch,it automatically zooms back in on its own (to the closest zoom again). After a couple days it normally reverts back to normal functioning and the zoom works fine. This problem seems to happen after I recharge the battery (I don't know whether this is a coincidence or not). Anyway, this time the camera is not reverting back to its normal functioning and it seems to be stuck with this zoom problem. Please help.....thanks
This is probably a defect that requires the unit to be serviced. If you are lucky there might be just a bit of gunk in the switch that can be displaced with a puff from a compressed air canister. But the surface of the unit is probably sealed so I doubt that you could do it yourself.
