Zoom isn't working, is it fixable?

Question

Last night I had my camera at a marching band thing, my friend Adam asked if he could look at the pictures or take some, and I was like yeah sure. So i leave for 3 - 5 minutes. I come back, turn the camera on and try to zoom out, and it says "Please turn camera off and then on" So I did. and It keeps coming up. And normally the lens goes out then in when turning off, and then comes out again when on. But it won't move at all. Can i repair this myself, or is it not repairable at all and I have ot just get a new camera?

Answer 1

If it is an inexpensive camera out of warranty it most likely isn't worth fixing. Most digital camera's are rather fragile,one bump in the wrong place "like the lens" and it is ruined.

Answer 2

your friend hit the lens

it is bent

it will cost $150 or more to fix

sorry...

Answer 3

go back to the store that you bought your camera from and go to information.
