We kept getting an error message that stated "Please turn camera off then on again" Even though I rarely like to follow the directions, I did. And guess what, to no avail. So, I scoured the web for information about this problem, and the best advice anyone had for the fix, was to send it in for repair. Sure. A camera that cost about $400 when we bought it, was used and abused for 2 years, I don't think so. Yes, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tonyweeg/">it has definitely taken some nice pictures for us</a>, but I'm not going to spend the time to deal with that crap... So, what did I do to fix it?? So, I decided to resort to the ages old method of fixing something... I simply banged it on my desk one sharp time, and BAM, the lens retracted and the camera is now fixed. I have no idea why it's working now, it simply is. And with that, I am happy, and I can cross at least one thing off of my to-do list for today! nice.
