First check your monitor, you might have accidently hit a zoom on your display. If that's not the case try disconnecting power to camera for 15 sec. then power back up. The only other thing it could be is a defective camera, it does happen. Good luck

I have tried and can't get it to zoom in and out during video recording. Hope this helps.

I think I solved the problem by moving the camera lens away from being over the sensor. I found that I had this issue when the lens was over the sensor but not if I adjusted it. Not sure if this helps anyone else.

I'd try returning the camera, I returned mine a month after purchase. Just go to your Amazon account and click on returns...see what happens :) Good luck!

I'd be surprised if the camera was to blame. Try R-studio program to recover files if they are irreplaceable.

I am not aware of the Zoom issue but most if not all of the 990i cameras to this point will need the update. The change has been made to the cameras and we need to get through the cameras that are out there yet. This firmware update is designed to correct video capture to utilize the full field of view of the sensor when in HD video mode. It also resolves the "clicking" issue from the IR filter moving after every capture at night. The filter will now correctly move twice per day: at day-to-night / night-to-day transitions.

I've only had my Flip HD for 2 months and used it VERY little and the zoom in & out has already broken:(I bought it from Samy's Camera and they are going to send it for repair.It probably has less than TWO HOURS use on it!

I would say try to find a way to reset the camera to all it's default settings to see if it was just something silly you pressed/touched. If that doesn't work, check your return policy. Other than that.....um....try a hammer.

I have never had that problem but I would say that it is probably the shutter moving quickly. That is the only "moving" part on this camera. I would call them for their suggestion. I have never had a problem with their customer service. 800-847-8269

That is not correct. You were probably in manual focus, or someone setup some strange focus points. I use this camara for filming hunting, and the focus must change constantly and have never had the issue you decribe. BTW love this camera. Great quality, but cheap enough that I dont feel I need to baby it every minute.

I too have one of these that has the same problem. Seems like Olympus should do something about this problem as it seems to be more common than one would think. I have cleaned mine, blew it out etc and nothing works. Just keep getting the zoom error. I agree that their diagnotic check is way too high. Maybe a class action suit would take care of our problem??

I don't think the cameras have a zoom ..mine are pretty clear I can get clear faces at about 15 ft...but the cameras will pick up fair clear about 50 yds..maybe try cleaning the lenses or your tv or monitor is not clear

Yes. Send it back right away. The camera is faulty. Other than that, just to be absolutely sure go into camera settings and reset all to default before you make a final decision.

This is not normal. I've had no problems or complaints with this incredible camera. Return it. But get another one.

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

Well thanks a whole lot. I was having the same problem and was prepared to buy another camera since I have had mine for a few years and read how much it was going to cost to evaluate the problem. I smacked mine as well and it works. Will blow out with a can of air as well.

Your sensor might be dirty - this requires professional cleaning. The battery would have nothing to do with it. Your lens might be set to MF (manual focus) on accident too!
