I recently dropped my camera, and that shook up something inside of it(Everytime I shake the camera, I hear something moving around). When I turn it on, the zoom lens goes in and out, in and out, and once it stops, the camera reads: "Please turn camera off and then on again." I did so, and it does exactly the same thing. How do I fix this?

I think you'll find that your Camera is not a 'Classic Camera', and that those who post here are unable to help you, not out of sheer 'bloodymindedness' but because there is so much by the way of fragile electronics inside such a camera, that there is little, if anything, that a 'tinkerer' can do.

To paraphrase John Cleese, I'm afraid it's a Late Camera.
