My camera's zoom lens won't fully tuck in when i try to turn off the unit, and it prevents me from closing the encasing. Any attempts to use the camera triggers an error message, in addition to displaying a poorly focused image on the LCD panel.
I took the battery out after i unlatched the cover but the lens unit is still sticking out. Is there anything I can do to fix it???

It sounds as if someone dropped the camera on its lens. But it's not quite what is meant by a "classic" camera, which is what this forum is concerned with. You might try the Sony/Konica/Minolta forum at www.photo.net. Someone there might have a thought, perhaps, if this is a common sort of problem.

Otherwise, take it to a dealer or throw it away, depending on value versus repair cost.
