Question
Hi my lens will not retract on my powershot s2. Any ideas how to fix it without it costing a fortune

Answer
Michelle,

Hello.  Sorry you are having problems with your camera.
Unfortunately this problem is almost always physical damage.  The gears that move the lens are very delicate.  They are usually made from nylon or plastic.  There is nothing really to be done... except to send it for repair and it is usually cheaper to replace the whole camera.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
