I had this same problem! Scoured the web and found no solution. This is what I did to fix it...
Remove battery. Unplug charger. Press and hold the power button for 20 - 30 seconds. While still holding the power button, re-insert the battery and/or plug in the charger. Voila! Came back to life and worked like nothing ever happened.
I also did the same thing with the record button, but it was the power button that got the result.

Just to be sure it is NOT a software issue, remove the battery then
replace it back after about 5 minutes and then try turning it ON again.
The error you are getting is a "zoom error". A problem connected with your camcorder's optical zoom not working, it is either it has broken parts or something is caught in the zoom mechanism.
If something serious happened to it, like if it was dropped accidentally or a force was applied to it, then it is probably broken parts inside and needs servicing. Otherwise, it could be just dirt or sand stuck inside the mechanism.
To try and resolve the problem with dirt/sand you can:
Hold the camcorder with the lens facing the ground, then tap the side of your camcorder repeatedly.
OR
Use a canned air and spray it into the lens area of your camcorder.
SD type cards have a little switch on the card that can write protect or "lock" it. Take the card out of the camera and check this switch. To unlock it, it should be moved towards the edge of the card which has the electrical contacts.
have you checked that the charger is charging the camera battery up?????
it could also be a dud camera battery,,if one cell is duff the hole battery wont charge up to its full volts so the charger works its **** off trying to charge up a dud battery till one day the charger just burns out as well?
