The lens cover closes when the camera is off, this function has never failed me.

Yes it does. It's called a shutter I think, it just acts as a protective cover when it is in off mode, other than that once its powered on, it opens up! That sounded dirty.

The lens cover snaps on and off. A small flat screwdriver makes it easier, but you have to be careful. There are tabs on two sides of the lens that fit into slots. You don't want to crack the lens.

Yes, there's a manual exposure mode and the lens has a switch to turn auto-focus on or off.

No the device has to be on. The camera lens will be seen on/off. Malachi LTD.

There is a button on the side of the-adapter, you need to pull out or push in to un mount the lens

Yes, there is a multi-element shutter, which closes when power is off. I doubt it's "dust" or "water-proof".No separate lens cover came with mine.

Yes . There is a lock on the case between the photo lens and the on-off switch. From there you can just start popping the catches down the long side. When you get the cover off there are two (2) locks that hold the battery in, one will stay open and one is spring loaded. Tip the battery out and replace it. Reverse procedures and your done. Hope this is helpful

No lens cap required. Just like the other Ron wrote, when you turn it off it retracts it has its own lens cover. Depending upon how you use and carry it with you it might be good to occasionally check the lens for dust - when the camera is on and the lens is open of course.

No lens cap is included, and I do not feel one is needed. When the camera is "Off" the lens is protected by a multi-element mechanical shutter which protects it. One could obtain a cap to protect the lens when the camera is "On" but the lens is adequately protected (for my purposes, anyway) by shutting the camera off when not shooting.

I just hold the cover up with one hand while operating the camera mode with the other. Not hard.

Camera comes with an automatic lens cover, so you do not need a lens cover. It also comes with a step down ring that steps the diameter down from 46mm to 37mm so you can use smaller filters.

No the camera will not accept a lens cover or lens filter of any type while turned on. In fact the camera will not let you put the manufacturer's lens cover back on while the camera is turned on, the lens must be in the fully retracted position, i.e. turned off, to put this lens cover in place. The camera will even buzz if you turn it on with the lens cover in place. This is a minor flaw in the design of a great camera. Buy it and you will be very happy with it!

Thanks for the explanation, Les. So, it seems that as long as the IS is turned on, in-camera, it doesn't matter whether it's on or off on the lens. I made do some A/B testing to see if there's a difference with the lens switch on/off while the setting is switched on in-camera.

There are four clips on the side of the lens that easily pop up and the cover comes off. If you are able to hold the lens with one hand while you pop up the clips with the other you should have no trouble changing the light.

There is an automatic lens cover that opens and closes as you turn the camera on and off. This is true with most point and shoot cameras.

Yes and no. As a point and shoot with no replaceable lenses the lens is fixed. When the camera is off there are two sliding 'windows' that do close and cover the lens though. I depends on your expectation I guess.
