How can I fix my camera lens, when I power off it don't go back in it stays out all the time.?

I have a sanyo digital camera and my lens stays extended all the time now.

if you've done everything correctly, it may be malfunctioning. You need to get it repaired or replaced. You did not mention if you can still take pictures with it.

.Sounds like the optical zoom feature is messed up. It looks like a trip to the repair shop is needed. Sorry

Sounds like the mechanism that controls the optical aspect of the camera is broken. You will need to get it repaired or exchanged if the camera is under any active warranties. Otherwise, you're gonna have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed.

fixing cameras is NOT a do it yourself project which needs to be taken in for repairs. consider this that the cost of repairs would be equal or greater than what the camera is actually worth so the best bet is to get a brand new camera.
