I had the same problem. By lightly twisting the lens (the piece furthest out of the camera) as you turn the camera off it should return to the closed position. From memory I turned it anti clockwise, but if that doesn't work try clockwise. I recall being surprised when it closed . Don't force it, mine only required a slight twist of no more than an few millimeters, You should find some resistance so stop twisting it when you feel that resistance. That was the good news, after the lens retracted I switched back on and all I could get was the camera turning off, on off, on, off, on forever. I'm not sure the same could happen to you, but it's worth a try. I just have to figure out which sensor is telling the camera to shut down and then what's telling it to start up again. If it find out I'll call back and let you know. Please let me know how you go. regards Stu
