Your camera will shut off when it senses that. Check on here for a few ideas on how to fix it. I have had some success by using a vacuum cleaner to assist with extracting the lens. If none of that works, you probably need to replace the lens. Hope this helps, good luck. Was this answer helpful?

Place it on the back with the lens facing up and take a look at the spacing between the lens and the lens housing. If you notice that the gap is not even all the way around the lens, the problem should be easy to fix. This type of a problem usually occurs if the camera was dropped while the lens was extended. Simply - VERY GENTLY - press down the lens on the side where the gap is the biggest. You should hear a “click” as it pops back into place. Try powering the camera back on. i've found it on the net, here is the original text - if that won't help - go to the source page and read about the other options Was this answer helpful?

If you don't have a card reader in your computer(s), they are available inexpensively, for example: amazon.com/Mini-Memory-Card-Reader-Writer/dp/B000FNDWLQ/… –coneslayer May 6 '11 at 13:54 2 I got this issue with my camera too, when my son dropped it in the sand. The lens mechanism retraction is very fragile. One grain of sand is enough to break the camera. In our case, we got the camera for less than a week, so we returned the camera for an exchange. –decasteljau May 6 '11 at 14:01 add a comment| 9 Answers 9 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Lens errors are fairly common.

I get an error when I turn the camera on "lens error, restart camera" as it beeps three times. This is out of warranty, any idea's. Submitted: 5 years ago. Category:Camera and Video Share this conversation Expert: Russell A. replied5 years ago. Hi,Lens errors are a common problem. Dirt can get into the gears or the lens can become misaligned from being carried in pockets, purses or at the beach. With newer cameras I am usually hesitant to suggest these options since they include some more extreme procedures that may cause further damage if not done correctly, but since your camera is older, they may save you an expensive repair bill. The three links below give step by step DIY instructions on troubleshooting and attempting to fix this problem. The lens structure of these compact cameras is the same so the examples do apply to this unit. These procedures are effective about 60% of the time. Click on or copy and paste the links into your browser. LENS FIX 1LENS FIX 2If the "do it yourself" approach doesn't work out for you and you need conventional repair suggestions please let me know.Note: Considering the age and present value of this camera, paying the cost of having it repaired , approximately $80 - $110 really depends on how attached to the camera you are. The standard "rule of thumb" is if the repair cost is greater than 50% of the value of the camera, it is not worth it. A used or refurbished Powershot SD1100is can be purchased for about $65-$95 and a new one for about $135.If, and only if my answer to your question is helpful, please click the green Accept button and leave Positive Feedback.
