If your Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ230 lens won’t extend because the shutter cover is stuck, first fully charge the battery, then power off, remove the battery for a few minutes and retry. You can gently nudge the cover while switching on, but don’t force it. If it still won’t open, the lens/shutter mechanism is jammed and needs professional repair.
