my camera lens will not retractits a nikon coolpix L320what do i need to do
387699
I have had this problem. Very gently wiggling the lens seems to retract the lens, with no observable effect, at least in my case. But do so at your own risk! This camera has become useless to me for a different reason -- dust has collected on the lens inside the camera, with no obvious way to open the camera to clean it. I get very bad blotches on my photos, especially when using the zoom.

We have had the same problem with our S9100. Like Mr Braun said, gently wiggling the lense fixes it. This happens quite often with ours; very frustrating!

What I have found works is turn off the power, take out the battery and the SD card. Wait at least a minute, and put them back in. The lens should retract. Always make sure your camera is fully charged, and when taking pictures, make sure all the icons on the display in back are not displayed. Hope this helps.

I would say buy a Canon. :/ After months do arguing with Nikon they did finally cover my warranty claim as warranty but it took a lot of back and fourth with them. The first time their warranty "fix" lasted a month, this time I've used it a little longer. I'm assuming it is VERY sensitive to humidity because both times my lens quit working I was in a humid environment (camping in an area with a nearby lake). I did have a bit of success drying it out with hearing aid drying pellets. There are also specific memory cards that work with this Nikon, although I don't remember ever seeing this until I called to get repair.

Nikon sucks...mine had a lens issue just after 30 days...had to send for repair and it took nearly 2 months to get it back. Then that lens died 9 months later..conveniently out of warrenty...and it would cost $100 to fix it! I bought a Canon...

The camera has 30x optical zoom. There are 2 zoom control buttons one near the shutter button and the other on the lens mount. When you push the zoom control knob/switch to T (telephoto) the lens moves forward and extends from its mount and once extended when you control the knob to A (wide) it will retract physically back into the mount. The lens barrel cannot be removed to attach another type of lens though. I hope this helps.

There should be a groove in the lens where it mates to the case near the switch. Stick a coin in the groove and twist, the lens should pop off.

There's a small battery that goes into the bottom of the camera try getting a new battery (radio shack has them) and see if that works. Depending on what photography class you have depends on what lens you need but for my class I needed a 50mm lens

I don't have a Coolpix, so I don't know. Your best bet would probably be to go to the Nikon website and ask them.

Try removing the lens from the body. Line up the white dot on the ring with the white dot on the body and turn it into place. It should lock in. After that, You know need to use the opposite side of the lens to screw into the ring. That's why it's called a reverse ring. The lens should screw right in if you purchased the right size. There are a few different sizes. Make sure that you have purchased the correct one. When trying to take photos, you can't manually adjust the lens, you have to physically move your body closer or further away depending on when the photo will take.

The lens pull didn't work for me so I tried the "hit the camera" method. Worked like a charm. I simply held the camera vertical and smacked the top of the camera a few times and then flipped it over and smacked it a few times. Works great!

Opening the battery cover, you're going to see (on the aluminum plate) a small black lock next to the hinge. With the camera upside down and the lens facing your right leg, just move it in the same direction where the small black arrow is pointing and turn it a little bit forward and it will come out slowly.

First, there's a little pin you need to push to release it. Second, Nikon lenses release in the opposite direction from Canon lenses so make sure you are turning it in the correct direction.

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

If you are trying to slide it by pushing on the lens itself it wont slide, you have to slide it from where the lens meets the mount, then it should slide, if it still is not sliding, then send it back....

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

i had the same problem it's a little push lever just push it towards the camera and it will come off.

Try taking out the battery..I have had that happen before with my other Kodak cameras, but it was only temporary..I just fiddled with it until it worked. Some times the lens gets stuck...hopefully you won't have to get a new one.

Try going to the set up menu, go down several items till you get to "Release w/o lens," and enable this. This allows the shutter to work without a lens (which is what the camera thinks when there is an adapter in place).

Attach the leash to the camera strap. I ususally attach to the loop in the camera strap right where it is slipped through the flange on the camera. Just slide the end of the leash through the camera strap loop, then slip the lens cap through the leash loop and pull tight. Hope this is helpful.
