I’d like to use playback or Wi‑Fi transfer on a Sony RX100 without the lens extending. Is there a way to turn the camera on in a mode that keeps the lens retracted? Also, can it automatically retract the lens and go to sleep after a period of inactivity?

- Turn camera off, then press play button (▶). Thus camera will be turned on without opening the lens. Then press menu button to send photos through wifi etc.
- In menu settings, you can set sleep timer which will retract lenses after some time(see user manual).

Yes. On the Sony RX100, you can power it on without extending the lens by starting it in playback mode: with the camera off, press the Play (▶) button instead of the power button. That turns the camera on for reviewing images and accessing menu functions such as Wi‑Fi transfer, without opening the lens.
It also has a power-save/sleep setting in the menu. After a period of inactivity, the camera can enter sleep/power save and retract the lens. Check the camera’s menu or user manual for the available timer options.
