down vote favorite 2 I've had a Canon PowerShot A1100 IS camera for almost a year now. About a week ago, I went on a trip, took pictures the whole trip, everything was ok. When I got home, and tried to turn the camera to move the pictures to my PC, I got an error: "Lens error, restart camera" The lens doesn't even start to open, doesn't make any sounds of trying even. What can I do to fix this? lens canon point-and-shoot troubleshooting error share|improve canon powershot a550 lens error restart camera this question edited Dec 19 '11 at 14:16 Imre 25.7k783149 asked May 6 '11 at 13:17 Yochai Timmer 138115 If the problem is keeping you from moving your photos to the PC, you can remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader to read it. 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. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. I have written a blog post about some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 50% of lens errors, but they're worth a try. share|improve this answer edited Oct 6 '11 at 4:54 Imre 25.7k783149 answered Oct 6 '11 at 3:54 Camera Repair 541 2 Welcome to Photo.SE!

Note that even if your camera was produced by another manufacturer, and not Canon, you can still use our instructions to repair the lens error. This web site's mission is to provide a source of information and help for the Canon lens error. Canon lens error is usually reported as E18 error. The problem lens error restart is common for most cameras with telescopic lens barrel. Other manufacturers might have a different name for the same problem (lens error, access error, zoom error, lens obstructed, focus error...). Some cameras only display a numerical error, such as E18. Due to the common nature of this problem, it seems that Canon has dropped the numerical marking of this error in newer cameras, and is now using the term "lens error". We will explain our procedure for getting rid of the lens error on the example of Canon cameras, however, note that our repair instructions can also be applied to cameras produced by other manufacturers as well. Canon lens error (E18 error) happens when the lens gets stuck while trying to extend or retract. The problem can happen due to a number of reasons: If dirt or sand get into the lens mechanism If a a user dropps his or her camera with the lens extended Another reason is turning on the camera in a situation where the lens cannot extend fully, like, inside the camera case or a pocket Or if the batteries run out while the camera is being turned on
TalkChange forum Powershot S100 lens error solved Started Mar 24, 2013 | Discussions thread Shop cameras & lenses ▾ ForumParentFirstPreviousNextFlat view effeotto • New Member • Posts: 15 Powershot S100 lens error solved Mar 24, 2013 9 Today I joined the lens error group, but managed to solve the problem by myself!My camera comes from two ebay purchases, one for a camera with a defective lens (probably bumped) that I dismantled and tried to repair, but the damaged part was unrepairable. Then I bought a lens unit, given as not affected by the lens problem.So I assembled the lens unit in my camera and everything worked well for weeks... until today: the camera wasn't dropped or bumped and was always in a cushioned carry bag.I didn't want to give up so I dismantled the camera again, checking at every step if the lens was able to come to life again, until it did!I noticed a small connector in the front part of the naked camera that was not sitting well in its receptacle so I reseated it properly, add a small piece of tape to avoid further dislodging and reassembled everything. This is the connector that could be causing the lens error: the little play the lens assembly has can induce a slight traction and lead to a disalignment of the little plug and then a false contact.In my case unplugging, plugging back again and securing with a little piece of tape, solved the lens error! The camera now works flawlessy and I'm an happy camper again!
