Hi Maggie,

Digital cameras are very delicate things, and even one drop (even from a short distance!) is enough to seriously damage them. It sounds like the couple drops you gave your SD600 messed up its lens mechanism pretty good.

What you should do is go to Canon's support site and request a repair. Your repair probably won't be covered by the warranty since it's been dropped, so the repair price will probably be $100-200. You might want to consider upgrading to a new camera if that sounds like too much to spend to fix it.

Sorry, and good luck!

Here is a real solution:

Take out the battery
hit the camara on a hard surface a few times (but not so hard as to break it!)

Hit it hard tho...

replace the battry

try again... it should work.. if not try this a few times
