I purchased a used sx280 and having a couple issues.<BR /><BR />1) the lens cover doesn't open or close fully when powered on/off. I'm suspecting dirt or something, can it be taken and cleaned? Can I blow some canned air in the lens to hopefully clean it out?<BR /><BR />2) low battery on video, I think I fixed this by putting some paper on the battery door and not getting it anymore.
