Canon Powershot A4000 Lens Error
Unsubscribe My camera is showing "lens error/restart camera", how do I fix it? My camera is giving me a "lens error/restart camera" message and the shutter seems to be a bit opened. How do I solve this problem? Answer this question I have this problem too Subscribed to new answers Is this a good question? Yes No Voted Undo Score lens error canon s100 9 Cancel Comments: I'm also experiencing this error message, however... • the camera turns on, • the lens extends outwards, • the lens contracts inwards, • the camera turns off... I did notice the superficial disfigurement that is on the outer shell of the lens, but this shouldn't cause this error as on occasions, the camera turns on, the lens extends outwards, and I can snap a few pictures, unless I aim the camera in any direction other than straight ahead - if not straight ahead, the lens contracts inwards & camera turns off. 12/10/2015 by Frae Guile Add a comment 0/1024 Cancel Post comment Are you sure you want to delete this zzzzzz?

Normally this is a problem with the lens extension mechanism that is activated when the camera starts. This can normally be attributed to a dirty camera case or other grit getting into the camera mechanism.

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 acti

Your help in sharing will be appreciated, and karma will prevail! This has to be THE most common failure mode for a 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 lens error 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 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 a lens error 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 curious to see if this will also be a issue/problem with this camera phone (and other phones with optical zoom). I predict (on June 16, 2013) that it will, as most people carry their phones in pockets and purses. If it occurs, Fix 5a would likely be the best technique to correct this problem. A camera owner that suffers this problem may have no recourse for having the camera repaired. Many camera makers will not honor repairing this problem under warranty as they claim it is due to impact damage to
Thanks again Posted September 13, 2016 9:37 amhappy camper#8 worked great on our Power Shot A610, but it took multible hard knocks on my palm to get it working again. Thanks Posted August 30, 2016 4:56 pmRobertI have a Canon Powershot S110. It briefly took a swim in my pocket when I fell into a jungle river in Malaysia and of course refused to work. I removed the battery and memory card and dried it off in the sun and watched with horror as beads of moisture came out of the USB sockets. It thought it was damaged beyond repair. When I was back in civilisation I recharged the battery but still no luck and then spontaneously the lens barrel shot open when I wasn't expecting it to do so and I had my hand in the way. It briefly registered a lens error message and then went blank again with the lens barrel extended. Recharging the battery made no difference so my first thought was that the battery was damaged so when I got back to the UK I ordered and installed a new battery. I got the dreaded lens error message saying that the camera would shut down which it didn't. I tried the various low level fixes and eventually gently compressed the barrel to try and even out the extension. Bingo it suddenly started behaving although it was still convinced that the memory card was faulty even when I gave it a new one until I took out the battery and the memory card and put them both back in and now it seems to be absolutely fine. I guess I may have shortened the camera's lifespan both from the original bath and fiddling around with the barrel but at 2 years old it was too old for the guarantee and too new to get rid of.

Secondly if you have an odd fault like E16 buy the service manual it only costs $4 online download. The E18 fault had the lens stuck. I stripped down the camera and then the lens. I am still struggling to get the lens together even with photos lines drawn across the parts etc. Not easy at all but it beats the rubiks cube for entertainment value. The ribbons can be sourced on ebay from china but you will have to solder the tiny connectors on and remove from original or source them new. Not all ribbons need connectors. I bought some but needed none. The E16 meant the CPU could not talk to a peripheral device after swapping all the boards I came to the conclusion and observation that the fault was indeed on the Main board and a large chip (Analog Devices) had a small burn bubble on its surface. So I used the main b
