Improvement, the lens will now retract while screen is black
on the A480 after starting script shot is taken, screen goes black, lens retracts......after 3 minutes.....on/off key has to be pressed twice to power up, so it is not dead. it is just happy doing nothing.
to test that I ran it again with statusled=0 and although the lens does not come out again I can see a blinking led even after a few minutes of inactivity..if I press the on/off button, the status led stops blinking.
