for the a480 bklite and playkey looks very similar, no lens retract.
But that is normal for this model, if I press the play key when in shooting mode the camera does not retract the lens.
Only when I plug in the usb cable when the camera is in shooting mode it switches to playmode and the lens gets automatically retracted.
the difference is that you hear a click when it switches for a few seconds to playmode showing last taken picture then goes black and some 10 seconds before the next shot you hear a click again. until next shot is taken screen stays black.
I've first run the script with playmode at 1 minute interval, then switched to bklite and restarted the script.
