Lens wont retract when turned off.

Hi there! The "Lens Error, Restart Camera" Message is likely showing, is that correct? If so, that is commonly due to a physical problem within the Lens Assembly / Optical Unit of the camera. The camera will require repair but not to worry as it's pretty painless. Just don't smack / hit the camera as many people say to do, that often causes further issues and can throw off the focus in the optical unit as well. Some shops will try to repair the existing lens in the camera and others will either install a used lens assembly or even a cheaper rebuilt part, I'd recommend staying as far away from a fix like that as possible. The best way to take care of this is to simply replace the Complete Lens Assembly with the Brand New Genuine Canon Part! This will completely get everything looked after and the camera will perform like new again! The website that Specializes in these Canon Powershot Digital Cameras is CamerasAndParts.com That is the only placed I'd get this looked after!
