I am having the same problem. The optical lens is partially stuck open. The Canon displays for a few seconds, beeps several times, then turns off. I have tried to gently push the lens in and pull the lens out. Neither worked. Anyone have another suggestion?

My camera will turn on then go off and the lens will not go out how do i fix this?

The manual is a bit confusing. I do have a power shot, but is is a bit younger. My camera does have 2 On buttons. One to put it in shooting mode. And one to set it in display mode. If I press the display button (arrow right) the lens stays where it is and I only can see pictures I took. When I press the on off button the lens comes out.
I think you only have to switch the main dial to the camera logo (shooting Mode) and then press the Disp button, to shoot pictures and if you want to view pictures, you turn the dial to playback Mode (arrow to the right) and press the Disp button.
If it works, no fix, just knowledge about how the camera works. It is all in the manual.

How do i take a picture by myself using the self timer

Switch top dial to "P" or some other mode, but not "AUTO"
Press FUNC then scroll down two steps to "Drive Mode"
Then press right from single shot, to multi-shot to 10 second count-down.
Then compose the shot, press the photo shoot button and listen for the countdown beep from 10 seconds.
All done.

Powers up and then shuts off

This should work for the A520. With NEW or freshly recharged batteries, remove the camera's memory card, then turn on the camera. You'll probably see an E30 error. Next turn off the camera. Next insert the memory card, and turn on the camera.

If the above doesn't work, the following blog outlines some other repair options for a lens error. They won't work for all cases, but they're worth a try if the camera's no longer under warranty:

Tab on the camera. E18 is a stuck lens. This is common on this camera. I'm not saying this will fix it, but don't break it.
