Hello guys.
The zoom ring on my dvx100e is jerky. It has been jerky all since the day I bought it, it's not a big deal, it's just that it's impossible to make smooth zooms with it. I recently tried another dvx100e over here, and the zoom ring was soo much better.
It can be jerked like 1 milimeter all the ways, forvard, sideways and backwards. It tends to make a little clicking sound when using it too, because of the jerkyness. Now I bought the camera used, used for 2 years I think. It was jerky when I fist touched it too, but also, the guy I bought it from did not even know exactly where the servo/manual switch was:shocked: Could this be the case? That he zoomed too much with servo zoom on, breaking some parts insde? The zoom works perfectly on everything else, its just the jerkyness and clicking sounds that are a pain in the youknowwhat!
Can this be fixed easily, or do I need an authorized Panny guy to do it for me? Please help, It's really starting to piss me off.
