Olympus sz-12 zoom problem?

[Palaeontology]

When I zoom out and take a picture the zoom immediately retracts. Is this normal?

I have a FE-4010 and my lens would not telescope out properly. It would attempt three times and give up and close up everything. This worked perfectly!

Fran,

This is the first time I have used Tom's Guide and can't see your solution?
