Canon Lens Error 01
Canon digital cameras. The E18 error occurs when anything prevents the zoom lens from properly extending or retracting.[1] The error has become notorious in the Canon user community as it can completely disable the camera, requiring expensive repairs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E18_error) http://www.e18error.com/repair.html This is a fairly prevalent problem with the PowerShot cameras, and a class action lawsuit was filed (but dismissed) against Canon: A Chicago law firm, Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates, has already filed a class action,[4] while the law firm of Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo LLP are investigating this camera flaw and may issue a class-action lawsuit against Canon.[5] There is at least one other.[6] Although the suit was dismissed in a court of law, the plaintiffs are appealing. Fortunately, https://blog.wolffmyren.com/2008/10/23/e18-error-fixed-canon-powershot-sd450/ at least in my case, the fix did not require returning the camera to a Canon repair facility or having to take unreasonably complex steps. My solution for the PowerShot SD450/IXUS 55 follows: (You’ll need a very small Philips head screwdriver, #00, to remove the screws) There are six screws holding the metal frame of the camera body together, two on each side, and two on the bottom. Remove all screws, pop the strap-hook plate (sorry, probably not the most technical term there), then gently lift the front plate off by pulling up from the bottom, and remove the back plate in the same fashion. These should come off relatively easily. This is what the camera should look like as you remove the plates: Now, looking from the top of the camera, you should see a small motor on the left side, as shown below (it’s beneath the cable with a “22” written on it): Take your screwdriver (or another small instrument) and gently try to rotate the plastic piece attached to the motor on the left side, as shown below: At this point, try placing the battery back in the camera (if you have removed it), turn the camera to one of the capture modes, and press the power button. If all went well, your lens should now be able to extend and retract properly. Further information (and other repair tutorials) are available at

I believe it was still covered under warranty and they repaired it free of charge. On another note, that camera is no good to me anymore anyway. When I power on the camera, I don't see anything on the LCD display. From what I've read on DPReview, it's a common problem with Canon cameras that can only be
