Zoom button spring seems to have broken and camera zooms in or out uncontrollably when button is touched.

helow, can you please explain the problem if you meant zooming doesn't work, it can be due to zoom button broken or zoom mechanical problem if you hear any weird sounds when you try to zoom that maybe to broken gears or a dislocation of the gears, you need to take it to a repair center

Your camera is not broken. That's by design. Canon cameras do not allow optical zoom use while in movie mode. Canon claims that using the optical zoom in movie mode would cause excessive noise in the movie. However, you can use digital zoom in movie mode. You'll need to go into the menus (press the menu button) and turn digital zoom "on" if it's currently off.

Have you tried taking out the batteries and leaving it alone for a bit, then loading new batteries? I would try this first before anything. Good Luck.

Most of the digital camera,the zoom lens is the most costly parts,you should consider it to sell it for parts.

lens mechanism needs cleaning ( moisture ) and possible alignment ( jarred ) ; charge or replace batteries , before getting estimate ;

Hello, there is no way to bypass the zoom or to manually work the zoom. Please contact me at LIVE Expert Assistance. Best regards, Arpi

well did the camera got wet???, if soo it needs the mainboard to be replaced, if not could just be the mainboard also, but if it´s the second one the repair centre will fix it for free if ?t´s under warranty
