Hi Natalya,

Did you drop or otherwise physically hurt the camera? This can cause the lens housing to get bent out of shape and make it refuse to retract. If not, sometimes small bits of dirt or other substances can get stuck between the lens and the housing and make it refuse to retract. You can sometimes fix this by a) carefully using compressed air (I recommend the kind that comes in an aerosol can for cleaning keyboards--you can get it at Office Depot) to blow around the edges of the lens or b) gently banging a corner of the camera against a well padded surface. Sometimes these methods do not work, though, so be careful.

If nothing works, you'll need to send the camera back to Canon for a repair. This will probably be quite expensive, so be ready for that.

Good luck!

I got the same message, when I was taking a picture yesterday. Now, I cannot use it anymore.
I don't think it is a good idea to send it back for a service, if they charge more than $50.
