Question about Olympus Stylus 400 Digital Camera
An expert who has achieved level 3 by getting 1000 points
The original problem was a camera with jammed lens mechanism or faulty lens motor. I think the camera had been replaced.
The following post is directed to new users following up on this thread, as the original problem had already been sorted:
When the lens will not retract and camera is not functional (no picture on
display, and does not shoot) , and you already tried replacing
batteries with a new fresh set (ensure please) , and then restarting
camera with no memory card inside, then camera is faulty.
Try an
easy fix by pushing gently the lens (do not force them, just help them)
while you turn off camera at same time. Try also switching the mode
selector.
If still no luck , then the camera must be disassembled to fix the problem.
Possible reasons are :
If the camera is less than one year old will be replaced by manufacturer.
If your warranty is expired you can get an estimate for repair from
manufacturer, or from a third party like Advance Camera here :Advance Camera Repair you can book the repair online.

I'm having the exact same trouble with my Stylus 300.
I am having the same problem with my stylus 300/400 Camedia!! The lens will extend and take perfect photographs, however it will not retract when you push back the cover. The only was is to remove the battery and reinsert it, then the lens will retract, but you have to be quick and close it or it will extend again. I cannot imagine that this could be good for the motor mechanism??
Does anyone have a fix for this? The camera shop wants £100 minimum to open and try to repair.
I have the same problem, but have found that I if I put pressure on the bottom/front part of the lens cover while sliding it, that often works. My camera still takes good pictures, so it is more of an annoyance than anything. Good luck.
