I got a error messages saying "Lens Error. Will shut down automatically. Restart camera".&nbsp; I changed the battery as suggested with a new charged battery and turned the camera back on but it did not do anything new, it gave me the same error message and it did not retract/close the lens.</P> <P>Have you got or hear about this problem before?
