Subject: Olympus IS-1 problem with zoom
To: olympus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,
This is my first posting to the list.
I have an IS-1 that has served me well for several years, while on holiday in
the UK the lens suddly would not zoom. When the camera is first turned on the
lens comes out as normal, only slightly less extended. Zooming out does
nothing. If I pull slightly on the lens while zooming the lens clicks once
and extends to the normal rest position and then the zoom works fine until it
is turned off. Sometimes this fix seems to last for months, sometimes it only
works once and I have to repeat the process each time I turn the camera on.
Any ideas? I am guessing perhaps a gear related problem in the zoom, possibly
due to vibration something has come loose. I am sure it is mechanical rather
than electrical.
Thanks,
Nigel
