Hi,
I am Sorry to hear regarding the Problem.This is a ' Lens
Problem ' which is Quite Common on
these Models.
It is not worth to get it Repaired, as the Cost of
repair would be quite high as compared to the cost of the new camera.
There
are a number of things you can try:
1. Ensure batteries are
fully charged
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera
body for any sand or other dirt etc
3. Try turning the camera
with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4.
Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 2 minutes and refit
If no luck then we have to try some things that could possibly
result in damaging your camera so should only be tried if happy to take
that risk...
5. Try thumping the camera into your other
hand, by thumping into your hand you are trying to jar the mechanism
loose, by using your hand you will hopefully not do it too hard or it
will hurt. You may need to do this a dozen or so times in different
places to work. I have found the flat of the camera bottom into the flat
of your hand best..
6. If the lens is stuck in the out position
then remove the batteries and try twisting the lens first one way then
the other, do not apply excessive force when doing this or you can break
gears, you are trying to reposition not force... Likewise if the lens
looks like it is crooked you can try pushing it back into position. This
has a higher chance of doing more harm than the thump so please be
careful...
7. Dismantle the camera, not for the faint hearted,
you need to dismantle the lens assembly into the main body of the camera
If no luck then only other option is a serviceman I'm afraid,
be sure to get a quotes as camera repairs can be uneconomical
Let
me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks
for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
