Lens stuck took a picture and it shut off with lens out

Try these procedures.

Pull the battery out and put back in then power on the camera should stick out then when you turn it off should go back in.

I had this problem once. The lens was stuck open and the power would not go on. I took out the storage card and the lens retracted.

Clean the contacts on the camera body and the lens where they meet with a cotton swab dampened lightly with rubbing alcohol.

MY LENS IS ALSO STUCK OUT. I pressed on the lens by accident while it was on. Now it won't turn on and the lens is stuck out. I tried twisting it left as recommended by aplynn09 but didn't work. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Try to pull the lens back into the right socket. If that won't work, a new camera lens part is needed.

MY CAMERA IS HAVING TROUBLE TURNING ON. THE OTHER DAY I TOOK A PICTURE AND IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF IT WITH THE ZOOM LENS OUT. NOW WHEN I PRESS POWER IT SAYS RETRY POWER ON OR IT WONT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. THE BATTERY IS CHARGED ALSO BUT NOW I CANT USE IT AT ALL

HELP!!!!
WHAT DO I DO!!!
STACY

I have a Kodak 1275. Green light would go on the off and lens was stuck open. Now for solution that worked for me. Get a can of compressed air, like what you use for computer keyboards. Blow the compressed air all around your stuck open lens, not to fast and switch directions of where you blow air around stuck opened lens. Make sure batteries are fresh and fully charged. Tap your camera against the palm of your hand twice, not to hard or you may damage instead of jarring lens lose. Next lay your camera on a table lens facing up, push power button on so camera will try to auto focus and lens should reseat itself and lens should move freely. It doesn`t have to look dirty or dusty, little tiny particles can cause the lens to get stuck and shut off fast because it is a safety feature. If this does not work try plugging your camera into computer so the lcd screen does not try to go on , thus giving even more power to get your lens moving . Do not try to force it closed by pushing or twisting with your hand or you may cause damage that will cost as much as the camera to fix.

i got the exactly same problem!!
i bought it on 16th/Feb, next day,17/Feb not more than 20 pictures i took, the issue comes (lens won't action while shift the zoom lever, but it's working ok while switch on and off the camera)
so i bing it to the shop with my angry, they just said to me that you must dropped the camera.

--but i sware i didn't !!!
now they took the camera to Canon base for the exam...

The lens probably has some dirt or grime stuck in the lens motor. If you can gently twist the lens back and forth, maybe with some air.

I have answered this in another post. Here is the link.
