Hi, anyone else have an issue where their G7X's automatic lens cap is getting stuck mid-way when opening and/ or closing? Mine is now doing so, was not closing fully at first, now it gets stuck both ways and needs to be helped with a finger :/

This makes the camera unusable for me. Weird, there's never been any damage to it but from day one I had a bad feeling about it, the movement was jerky. My S90 seems to have been built much better...

Anyway -- anyone having this and any thoughts on resolving it?

Mine got stuck twice before getting stuck permanently.  At that point, I returned it to the retailer.  I wasn't about to ship it off to Canon, wait a month or more, and get a refurb in return.
