Won't take pictures when zoom

A few days ago my DSCW80 camera started giving the error message to turn off and restart the camera whenever I used the zoom to try to take pictures. It takes pictures without zoom fine. Also, once the mechanical zoom has been extended, the camera will not got into the digital zoom. Otherwise, the camera seems to work fine.

DSC W80 Error Message - Zoom and Picture Doesn't work

There is something blocking the sensors for the lens position. This can something as small as a piece of sand. The motors and gears that move the lens are very small and delicate. You can send it in for repairs to www.unitedcamera.com

Displays file error message when trying to playback still images and video footage

Did you take the card and insert into computer/device to view photos?

Viewing photos can alter the format of the photos thereby preventing your camera from reading them.

I viewed some photos and rotated a few photos and my camera no longer recognizes the format.

good luck
