My zoom is slow, labored, and frequently gives a "lens error" response

If I use the zoom function on my camera, it usually moves very slowly and makes a chuggish sound. Usually it then beeps, turns off (does not unzoom) and gives a "lens error" message on the screen. The slow movement does not always result in a lens error, and sometimes the zoom moves quickly and then gives an error anyway, but usually it moves badly and then turns off. If I do not use the zoom, the camera does not have any other problems.

Megan, it does sound like your lens is giving out on you. I uploaded the service manuals on the device page right here. Check for the heading Service Documents. This should get you to a point where you can clean and degrease your lens with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Hope this helps, good luck
