Re: RX100 VII stuck with lens open

This seems to happen when the camera is left on for a while. The screen just blanks, and the entire camera becomes unresponsive, perhaps because the battery has drained. If there was a way to enable some sort of auto-off feature, I think that could help. It's brand new, and I noticed it happening from the very first day I used it.

Based on other replies, how long are you leaving the camera after turning it off? Expect there to be a delay of several seconds before the lens retracts.

If it stays open for, say, 10 seconds after you switch off, then the camera is probably faulty.
