Fixing Canon PowerShot A70 E18 Error

I was taking photos of my Blue Circle MR1200, and ran into the E18 error. Apparently, one of the problems with the Canon PowerShot A70 is that sometimes, the lens will get stuck while trying to extend. The camera will beep a few times and the LCD will display a little E18 in the lower-left corner. People who posted about this before indicate having to send it in for repair and that Canon has horrible support and turnaround time. So, I decided to just help pull out the lens when I turned it on; giving it a little extra nudge to get unstuck. Turns out this worked. The camera is once again fully operational.
