Canon Vixia HF G60 won’t zoom or focus Help
Hi everybody,
Has anyone else had an issue with focus/zoom controls on the G60 (or similar)? Everything was
working fine the last time I turned the camera on; today, the zoom and
focus won’t respond, neither with using the ring, zoom rocker, or
autofocus. If I move the camera up and down, the lens will briefly focus before going out of focus again; this happens in both auto and manual modes. I’ve tried doing a reset as well but no luck so far. Anybody else run into this? -

Hey Ciat,
Have you checked your menu?
I’ve only used the older cameras, but a quick search suggests that there is way of turning Focus/Zoom controls on off.
Could be by rotating the lens in a certain direction, or the menu, or both.Page 35 in manual:

Set the mode switch to the desired position.
• Set it to AUTO mode or MANUAL mode, according to how you want to use the camcorder.Page 42-52 has a whole section on Adjusting the Focus in manual or with preset(s), and various Zoom functions.
Page 84 and 101+ pages might also help.
But short of copying the pages, have a look at the manual.
You might already have checked that, but always worth a second read.The only alternative is the repair shop, although those cameras are normally solid. So hopefully it is just a switch somewhere that needs to be moved, or a “sticky” button that has not released.

Thanks, and sorry for the delay in getting back; somehow this got lost in my emails.
I did go ahead and try these suggestions, but so far the issue persists, so it’s looking like sending in for repairs is going to be necessary.
