camera help

Have you tried a drop of oil on the body of the lens? It appears that the camera is telling the lens to extend but doesn't get the signal that it had done it. I get the same thing if I turn my camera on and forget to take off the lens cap. :oops:, It tries to extend the lens, then when it can't, it shuts down to keep from damaging anything

If you do use oil, I'd use it very sparingly, I don't think you would want any to get inside your camera. Maybe extend the lens, then wipe a thin coating on the lens body and try again. No guarantees, but you don't have much to lose either.
