My Olympus camera, which i have had for awhile and I love. It now says "zoom error" when I turn it on. Does anyone know if it can be fixed or will it be too expensive to go that route?

Google Olympus Camera Model # zoom error to see what you can find. Others have also had zoom errors but need to input your model # to find an answer.

My husband is a camera man.  He said it could be due to your battery.

 

Make sure your batteries are fresh.  Be sure there is no corrosion around the battery or on the elements.  That compartment must be clean so the battery can make good contact.  Also make sure the battery door closes correctly.

 

He also said to remove the memory card if your camera has one and try to shut the camera down and then restart it.

 

This has happened to him a few times...good luck.
