wd 40 helps

spray it on the jamed lens

and it will open and close

I forgot my login information on the old account used to write the guide but:

Do NOT use wd 40 on the jammed lens cap. Getting any of it on the lens itself can severely harm the optics and essentially ruin the camera.

John -

What do you do when you push the lens out?
