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.

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.

I'm disappointed as I had a high opinion canon lens error of them until this.I've done my research online and none of the proposed solutions work. I want to take it apart to make sure that there isn't any debris jamming the lens. Basically, when I turn it on the lens feels like it is trying to move forward, but never moves more than 1/2 MM or so. Does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to do this? I don't really want to spend $100 at a camera shop for a camera that now isn't worth much more than that. Any advice would be appreciated.

Other manufacturers' cameras get similar errors, and keep in mind that Canon has a tremendous marketshare percentage, so you are going to hear about more problems with Canon cameras than you will with HP, for example.Send it back in to Canon, and see how

A stuck shutter is a common failure mode for digital cameras. Unfortunately some model cameras experience this more than others. I won't say which but you'll likely notice in the comments section which cameras these are. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter.If you did see movement, then you are possibly experiencing CCD image sensor failure. As mentioned, the symptoms of a stuck shutter are very similar to CCD failure. If you own a Canon or Sony camera, please see the following two articles instead as your camera might possibly be eligible for free repair:Canon CCD advisory articleSony CCD advisory articleUnfortunately, actual mechanical repair of a stuck shutter is labor intensive as the mechanism is buried deep inside your camera. If the camera is out of warranty the cost of this repair is usually very high, and may be more than the value of the camera. Would not recommend trying to open your cameras to repair this yourself, as it's very unlikely that you'll succeed. However, there is something simple that you can try that might unstick it, albeit it may be only a temporary fix. Also would not recommend that you do this on a perfectly working camera, as I'm not sure what the power interuptions may do to the camera. As usual, only think of doing this procedure as a last resort for a camera that repair cost is out of the question, and as such the camera w
