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!!!

Look Under the Subject Title E18....May be the same problem.

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.

The camera beeps three times and then shuts off without the lens going back in.

I've decided to send the camera in for possible repair.

If the camera is older sometimes the battery brakes down after starting as the motor for the lens needs a lot of power as the starting of the lcd does. Had a similar problem with a different camera. I tried a friends battery and suddenly all worked fine.

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.

Im Sorry Bu Im 13 And Dont Kno Wat Dat Means?!?!?! Haha..Help PLEASE! Soon??!?!
It just beebs and shuts off. I dropped it from not even a foot off the carpet ground.
camera beeps 3 times & shuts off. Lens stays extended(out)
My sister-in-law and I have this same camera and it does the same thing!! Very frustrating! I was hoping it was on a product recall but I am not finding anything.
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
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.
