Answer 1

Your camera's bent and you are screwed.  It's a done deal and you must either pay for a repair or buy a new camera.

SOrry.

Answer 2

It's busted and the lens needs to be professionally repaired. If you attempt to fix it your self you are going to do more damage.

USE A CAMERA STRAP!

Answer 3

You could try straightening it GENTLY when you turn it on and/or off. That's the only thing you could do. Always use the strap when using your camera.

Answer 4

HI RS.  Sorry to hear about your camera.  :(.   I work at a camera repair facility, and you cannot even imagine how many people come in with the same issue.   Camera fell and now the lens is bent or crooked.   Good news,  there is a way to fix it... as our repair tech can usually take care of it the same day.  Don't ask me what he does,  as he is the expert but I do know it takes disassembling the camera and making adjustments from the inside.  Don't try to repair it yourself,  as you might cause more damage... which would then cost you more money.   Take it on in and keep your fingers crossed that no other damage occurred other than that of the lens.   Hope you can get it fixed.  Thanks for reading.  : ))
