When I turn my camera on, the lens cover only opens a slit. If I gently tap on the coveri it pops right open. Do I need to have it serviced, or is there something I can do to remedy the problem? And why is it doing this?
It probably needs to be serviced, mine has done that many times. I bought a service plan when i bought this camera at best buy and I am glad i did because it has had alot of problems with the lense (It was worth the $20, after i required 3 repairs on this camera, i am now getting a free replacement camers) Mine has done this when i have taken it to the beach and Nevada when it was dusty so chances are that its just got something stuck in there, try not to open it with your fingers because it isnt good for it.

I'm having the same issue. My camera was working fine last night, then I went to take another photo and the lens only opened a slit. When I turn it off, it remains opened a slit also. I thought it was because my batteries were dying, but I replaced the batteries and the same thing is occurring.
I am a Crop Adjuster and this is my busy time. I have missed several pictures because of the **** opening in the lens. Tapping has helped but this is a pain in the neck when you are out with farmers. It makes me look incompetent
Have same problem with that camera; tapping helps sometimes. Dan
