digital camera, a stuck lens, jammed lens, or a malfunctioning lens. Some common error messages that might show up on the LCD's of cameras with this problem include "E18 lens error" (older Canon Powershot), "ACCESS" error (Sony Cybershot), "Zoom Error" (Fuji Finepix), "Lens Obstructed" (Kodak Easyshare), "lens error, restart camera" or just "lens error" (Nikon Coolpix and some other camera makers lately are using this camera lens stuck variation). Some cameras might show nothing at all, but merely make a beeping noise as the lens goes out, then in, then the camera shuts off. Sometimes the lens won't even move. The problem is actually quite common throughout all camera brands. 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. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended. Believe it or not, one BIG contributor to lens errors is using a camera case. Sand, gunk, case fibers, etc... accumulate at the bottom of the case. These materials love to cling to the camera by electrostatic build-up from the camera rubbing against the side of the case (especially those cases with soft fibrous intreriors). Once these materials work their way into the lens mechanism, that's all she wrote. I have many Canon's, and NEVER use a case for this very reason. Note that this problem applies to ALL cameras with telescopic lens barrel (optical) zoom. With Samsung's release of the Galaxy S4 Zoom, I'm really curiou

They can be a great tool if you want to capture a moment forever. However, as expensive and useful as they are, they're also notoriously fragile. Experiencing a problem with your camera lens could mean a number of different things. The specific ins an outs of camera repair will depend on the specific model you're using, but a bit of critical thinking and gentle tinkering is sometimes all that's needed to get your device in working order again. Steps Part 1 Troubleshooting Your Camera 1 Check for a lens error pop-up.[1] There are lots of things that could possibly explain a digital camera lens problem. If you're having trouble with the lens, first check your camera to see if there's a lens error pop-up on your camera screen. If this is the case, it means your camera has picked up on the issue as well. If there's nothing, it may mean that the issue is external (too much dirt on the lens) or a possible glitch in the system. 2 Consider anything that may have happened to the camera recently. Most errors with a digital camera lens are caused by dropping the camera. There are lots of potential circumstances where a phone could be dropped. Spilling liquids on a camera or putting the camera somewhere coarse (like a sandy beach) will also damage a camera's lens and software. Knowing how the problem arose won't ensure you'll be able to fix it, but it may be able to steer you on the right path. 3 Read the camera's user manual. Camera user manuals usually have a troubleshooting section with common problems typically associated with a given model. Although most digital cameras tend to function in a similar way Part 2 Repairing the Camera 1 Take out the battery and memory card.[2] A common trick with most devices (including cameras and cellphones) is to disconnect the power for a few minutes. This allows your device to reset. If the lens problem is due to an issue with the software, taking out the battery and memory card for 15 minutes may remove a lens error pop-up. 2 Smack the side of the camera.[3] Although it may seem like an act of last-ditch frustration more than a helpful repair technique, some people have reported having success with slapping the side of their camera with the palm of their hand. If the
