Digital cameras do not like rough handling.
By Edward Plekavich

One of the most frequent problems that we see with digital cameras is that the zoom lens will not zoom, because the lens is out of alignment. This may have been caused be rough handling or some type of impact. The camera is usually not able to focus in this condition and will not fire. The camera may print out "system error" or not turn on properly. Realigning the zoom lens and or resetting the zoom barrel guide pins, that may have been pushed out of their slots, allows the lens to focus and zoom.

Repair shops continue to see broken battery doors and card doors as a result of impact. They have also had to replace the LCD screen on some models because of impact, so handle your new camera with care!
