sounds like lense gears are going bad, when you turn camera on the lense extends, if it does not extend fully probably will not auto focus, call sony for address for estimate of repairs.
lens has been damaged and it's most likely not worth repairing. lens can look fine but internal damage will require more money than it's worth. recommend replace
sounds drastic but turn on cam and grab hold of lens to try to fully extend it manually. if you hear a crunching noise that means the gears are stripped. not worth repairing
yeah I got screwed buying a samsung camera too.
Samsung screwed me out of a rebate on a computer monitor before too.
I will never buy another samsung product!!!!
I believe the FZ7 determines that the lense cap is still on when it can't extend the zoom lense because the lense cap is in the way. I would check to see if your zoom lense housing is somehow stuck (could be sand or dirt in it) which is creating enough resistance to make the camera think the lense cap is impeding the zoom lense from extending.
