Canon Powershot G12 Lens Error
and see what I could do. It turns out I could fix it!!! The problem seems that miniscule dust/sand particles jam the gears which moves the lens. It is possible to turn the lens motor by hand bit by bit and remove particles stuck in the gear. I will explain in detail below, including pictures. Note: these photo's were made with my 2002 Konica KD-400Z - canon powershot a4000 lens error still working great, while this is the 2nd (and last) Canon. Step 1: Remove all 6 screws with a miniature philips screwdriver (2 bottom, 2 left, 2 right). They are all the same size screws. Carefully remove front cover, then the back cover. This is what you will see: The lens motor is located behind the flash. With a miniature screw driver it is possible to push this rotor around bit by bit. It takes some time and precision, but you can very slowly see the lens coming out. The rotor must be rotated towards the back of the camera for the lens to open. In other words: the axle should be rotated clockwise. When I switched the camera on after a few revolutions, it actually worked again! Problem solved! However, I wanted to remove the root cause of the problem. I could hear the gear didn't go very smooth, little "ticks" could be heard. It seems small pieces of sand and dust were jamming the lens gear. The lens gear (well, at least 2 gears) can be seen on the side of the camera - see picture below: I used the smallest scre

Ordinarily that would be acceptable, you would just send it back to Canon and get a new one. But because Canon refuses t
Elph-Lens Error I've never had much to say on a blog before, but then I found myself in an interesting situation. I am traveling in Ecuador and my camera broke. It had a lens error. A friend I met on the way has a similar camera with the same issue. It was difficult to find resources on the new to fix these issues, so I thought I'd post some instructions. My camera is the Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD600, hers is the Sd1300. The process to fix the lens error is similar in all models of this camera. 1)Locate and remove screws from the casing. Some models have different screws in different holes so you will need to remember which screws go where. If you have a spare camera you can take pictures of the process to help you remember. I used a knife to remove the screws, but a small screw driver would be ideal. 2)Remove camera casing to expose camera guts. 3) Locate lens motor and fly wheel. The casing in the electric motor that works the lens retraction is a silver colour. Next to it is a small slot where a you can access the fly wheel. On the SD600 the flywheel access is on the top of the camera, behind the flash. On the SD13oo the slot was on the bottom opposite the battery access hatch. In each case it is a slot next to the motor. I used the tooth pick from a swiss army knife to turn the fly wheel which is mounted sideways in the slot and shaped like a small propeller. 4) Turn the flywheel many times. The lens should begin to move very slowly. You will only notice the lens moving after you have turned the flywheel dozens of times. If you don't notice it moving, try the other direction. 5) One you have given the flywheel a few turns, the gear jam that has created the lens error has probably been fixed. However, for best results, continue to turn the flywheel until the lens is fully extended or retracted (depending on the position it was stuck in). 6) Try the power button. The lens sho
