AF-360FGZ stuck in manual zoom

Scorg · 11-12-2010, 06:03 AM

Hey all

Have just recently recieved a 360FGZ which has been working as to be expected but checking it over today I have spotted it is now stuck in manual zoom mode, and it will not respond to the zoom button at all.

If I have read right from a couple of entires here, this is a fault on the unit?
Or is there some form of reset I can do to get this working ?

edit:
Well I think I made a bit of a school boy error. I had put the wide angle deflector down to protect the main flash screen for traval and had forgotten about it. Put that back into stowed position and all is working again.
Shall chalk that one up to experence I guess :blush:

At least you caught it yourself. Back in the days when alphabet shorthand was popular and smilies were text, around here we came up with SFWPOH*. It was appropriate - and I still do it sometimes - several times a day. Same club as the one Parallax gives.

Lol, cheers all.
Def a Doh! moment for sure, but I drew a big sigh of relief after spotting that one!!
Really did need it on the Saturday in the end as well.
