My Vixia HF S30 lens protector won't open, even if the camera is on and I am recording video. I'm able to easily slide it open with my fingers, but it won't stay there and just snaps shut again What should I do?</P> Thu, 21 May 2026 19:37:42 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Canon-VIXIA-HF-S30-Lens-Protector-Won-t-Open/m-p/596437#M6983 awesomedog5050 2026-05-21T19:37:42Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Canon-VIXIA-HF-S30-Lens-Protector-Won-t-Open/m-p/596882#M6984 <P>Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got.
