DiMage Z3 Telephoto Locks Up

[doobs]

My DiMage Z3 has locked in Telephoto mode again.Konica Minolta "fixed" this problem once, but it's now happened again about 2 weeks (~550 pictures) after I got it back from them. I've gotten the latest firmware (1.03) in hopes that this would resolve the issue, but, it hasn't.There must be a hardware problem with this camera. It's the exact same problem again - camera stays in maximum telephoto mode, and wide angle/telephote controller adjusts focus onl y -when Konica Minolta fixed the problem last time I got the same serial # camera back.Have you heard of this before? Waht should I do? It's summer, and I want to take pictures of my kids!Please help!Thank You.

Hi Doobs, I'm sorry to hear about your camera, maybe you should return it under warranty if possible? as if problem appeared second time it would probably appear 3rd time in my opinion...
