Doesn't apply to FZ50 as the lens doesn't extend.

Yes, I should imagine that long term damage could result if it is done
*every* time. It would be better to avoid it if possible.
But clearly the mere fact there is a message indicates that the camera
designers were aware of the 'danger' and have prepared for it.

Not in my FZ5, but neither does it tell me in the manual that there is a
message saying that the dial is in the wrong position, but it still
tells me!

You are welcome!
