Same Problem

-   My camera beeps 3 times & turns off without the lens colapsing back into the camera.
I changed the batteries, cleaned the battery area, still get the same response.
The lens still sticks out partially & the screen says E18.

-   my camera did the same thing, very frustrating......................lay your camera on its back with the lens upward. My camera had gotten stuck because it didnt retract evenly. It was obviously uneven...............I just had to gently push at the uneven place and it immediatly began working again............Hope this helps Lesley Wilkinson-   blckct1

Had this happen with the lens stuck in the retracted position.  Rapped the camera on my palm to jostle the lens a bit, turned it on and back to normal.

I charged the rechargeable batteries (that came with the camera) using another battery charger (rather than the charger that came with the camera) and hey presto! As soon as I closed the battery compartment door, the lens retracted into the camera and the camera started working perfectly fine! Had sat in the cupboard for over a year without being able to use it. Happy days!!!

Zoom lens out permanently. When power is switched on camera screen comes on for 2/3 seconds, gives three beeps and turns off. Have tried charging batteries that came with camera, new rechargeable ones and non-rechargeable batteries. Was NOT dropped or damaged. Happened just after the years warranty and was seldom used.
