Hi!

The problem usually happens because dirt or sand get into the lens mechanism. But it seems that more and more people are showing, who took great care of their camera, and still started posing this problem.

First of all please try turning on/off the camera, so that the objective could fully open,
then un-screw the add-on lens. See if it isn't too tight.

Try to zoom the built-in lens. If you can, try removing the accesory while at different focal lengths.


Now tenderly stuck a blade (swiss-knife) between the metal-ring of the shutter and the plastic and took the metal ring out to gain access to the shutter-cap.

Please don't try to force it, you might severely damage the camera. And, if you would post some photos with the jammed lens, maybe it would help a bit.

There are 2 safety clenches u must gently push-inwards, one situated at 2 o'clock, the other at 8 o'clock (on the shutter-cap). Manage to gently take out the shutter-cap as to gain access to the shutter mechanism. Don't worry if the 4 parts (shutter) get loose

Please note that instead of pulling the 2 shutters apart, in order to have a clear view, you could only push on the edges of the shutter system and the 2 shutters retract.

Please do rate this solution as FixYa and revert for further assistance.


Thanks
