...but seriously...

i need it for work

Seriously, send it back and see what they say. Whatever you do, don't open it. I know that at least over here in Holland even after your warranty has expired you still have certain consumer rights which will compensate you for damages. If you have a 12 month warranty it doesn't mean you're completely on your own if your equipment to stops working properly after 13 months.

I don't know where you live, but you might have similar rights in your country.

thanks jo jo...i'll check it out (UK)

I got no answer about the camera, but from what I can see you need a shave

maybe the camera is haunted or possessed. or perhaps a disenfranchised genie set up shop inside the camera, after having been evicted from his bottle. i recommend that you try rubbing the camera then making a wish for it to repair itself

Don't breathe on the lens.

Are you nungga? .....Chee chee chee

Could just be battery, focussing on zoom lenses takes a lot of power. Just a thought.

Did you accidentally set it to manual focus?

ArdeoTheMerciful said:

yeah, you do have rights (Sale of Goods Act etc.) but they're not the easiest thing in the world to rely on in reality. I agree that going to the manufacturer and getting them to have a look is sensible, but unless there was something fundamentally wrong with the camera when you bought it (which can, of course, come to light at a later date), you may have to face the repair charges and just bite the bullet.

rubbing it doesnt work

no, i didnt breathe on the lens

tried new batteries

and senik ( )

and the people i ordered it from will take a look even though the warranty has expired

then the only logical conclusion is that your face really IS fuzzy looking.
