Perhaps this may be the common problem for FZ8, FZ18 and FZ50. Is
there any concern to turn on the camera when the lens cap is on? On
the FZ 18, there is a beep sound and a message to open the lens cap
and press one of the button to start. However, I notice that when you
turn the camera on, the tip of the lens should come out beyond the
edge of the lens. Therefore, there is some kind of force that was
stopped by the lens cap. Is this a concern or causing some stress to
the motor of the lens? It is just a force of habit that I seem to
keep to forget to keep the lens cover out first before turning on the
camera.
Is this said anywhere in the manual?
Thanks for info.
