The micro ultrasonic motor (USM) that operates the lens extension/retraction and zooming mechanism wears out and won't drive properly.Other causes can be sand in the gears or physical damage.It is usually hopelessly uneconomic to get Canon to do a repair.

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 ... Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try. Was this answer helpful?

Category:Camera and Video Share this conversation Expert: Neil replied6 years ago. Hi My name is XXXXX XXXXX lens error thanks for using Just Answer..There are a number of things you can try:1. Ensure batteries are fully charged2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand or other dirt etc3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 2 minutes and refitIf no luck then we have to try some things that could possibly result in damaging your camera so should only be lens error restart tried if happy to take that risk...5. Try thumping the camera into your other hand, by thumping into your hand you are trying to jar the mechanism loose, by using your hand you will hopefully not do it too hard or it will hurt. You may need to do this a dozen or so times in different places to work. I have found the flat of the camera bottom into the flat of your hand best..6. If the lens is stuck in the out position then remove the batteries and try twisting the lens first one way then the other, do not apply excessive force when doing this or you can break gears, you are trying to reposition not force... Likewise if the lens looks like it is crooked you can try pushing it back into position. This has a higher chance of doing more harm than the thump so please be careful...7. Dismantle the camera, not for the faint hearted, you need to dismantle the lens assembly into the main body of the cameraIf no luck then only other option is a serviceman I'm afraid, be sure to get a quotes as camera repairs can be uneconomical Neil and 4 other Camera and Video Specialists are ready to help you Ask your own question now Customer: replied6 years ago.

I have a great little bridge camera the SX 20 IS (yes, yes, I know AhComment - I need to get a DSLR) but it has this maddening habit of suddenly beeping and telling me there is a lens error - restart camera. ESPECIALLY when it is cold and damp!! Bloody irritating because it takes awesome photos. I usually just dump it back in the bag and when I take it out a few minutes later it sometimes starts up just fine - but if it is cold and damp it keeps doing it. Usually just as I am lining up a once-in-a-lifetime shot of a bird or surfer or something too! It is one of the classic issues apparently. Loads of comments on the matter all over the web. I recently bought a cheaper Powershot SX 400 IS to carry around as a backup precisely because of this problem, but - because it's winter and I live within spitting distance of the beach - my SX 20 IS is sitting in my cupboard permanently and the SX 400 just does NOT do low-light photography, so sunsets, etc. are really not so great. I am not in the market for a DSLR right now - so my question is: Where in Cape Town - preferably Southern Suburbs or City Bowl (rather not go all the way to Northern Suburbs but will if I have to) should I take it for checking / cleaning. Is Orms the best option? Any other suggestions?
