Thank you Jean-Louis.
When in manual mode (m), the zoom rotates smoothly.
It sounds like the batteries were too weak, but they are new (and the tester goes to the right).

Do you have another explanation ?

Anyway, could I lubrificate the zoom easily ?

Thanks.

Hi everybody.
I'm a newbie in the super 8 scene.
I just bought a Canon 1014 xl-s and I'm testing it.
I put new alkaline batteries. Everything seems to work properly except the zoom.
When using the T button, the zoom rotates (almost) properly.
But when I then use the W button, the motor still works ...
