I have a Canon A480. I've taken thousands of great pictures with it. But now the shutter that covers the lens has started to stick in the closed position. It will eventually open and from there I'm okay.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can clean this? Or oil it, or ...

Take a look at the front of the lens; the metal surround may be dented/dished in. This has happened to my SX-230 a few times; what I've done is work a thin knife blade under the inside edge of the surround and very gently pry the surround slightly out.

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't seem to be the problem. There are noe markings (such as a dent mark) on the lens. It's just moving slow.
