When I am shooting in burst mode with my RX100VI, it takes time for all the images to be written to the card. The lens stays open until all the images are saved from the buffer memory onto the card.

Is your back screen still on after you hit the on/off button? is it showing anything?

Does it make any noise when the lens is extending? Grinding or motor noises?

If the camera is truly off and the lens is out, you may have a lemon. Only option then is to return it.

Yes, good point. The camera might just be writing the files, before retracting the lens.
