This web site's mission is to provide a source of information and help for the Canon lens error. Canon lens error is usually reported as E18 error.

My camera locks up and I can't take any pictures. I http://www.e18error.com/ bought another card 256MB SanDisk and am getting the same error message. I tried reformatting, but no luck. Not happy with the camera- not sure who to call??? 06-10-2005,07:32 PM #2 Akysten View Profile View Forum Posts Member Join Date May 2005 Posts 65 Where did you purchase the A75? I would try to return it to the place of purchase... If that fails, I would call Canon.. I've had a memory card error before, but it was my memory http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?9171-PowerShot-A75-(Memory-card-error) card.. not the camera. Sandisk replaced it within a week.. I've heard bad things about Canon's response time.. so I would definately try the place of purchase. If recently is less than 30 days, they'll probably swap it out for you.

when anything prevents the zoom lens from properly extending or retracting.[1] The error has become notorious in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E18_error Canon user community as it can completely disable the camera, requiring expensive http://bisko.be/2009/09/canon-camera-e16-error-fix/ repairs. ConsumerAffairs.com reports that the "lens has a feature called bellows claw, which is a gear that physically extends and retracts the lens. A piece that holds the lens, the barrier plate, is not large enough and can sometimes cause the bellows claw to malfunction, resulting in a lens error stuck lens".[citation needed] The result is a black screen that only contains the error message, E18. Another problem mentioned on the site blames a sticky iris in the lens, caused by grease entering inside from the microphones built into the lens. The buildup freezes up the ability of the lens to open. Although the use of the E18 error coding canon lens error made this problem seem to be the particular domain of Canon cameras, the problem is actually quite common throughout all cameras with telescopic lens barrels. As a result, Canon has since dropped the use of this error code in its newer cameras. In its place it has adopted the more common term "lens error" that other manufacturers use. As such, its newer cameras report this term when the problem occurs. Contents 1 Causes 2 Repairing the E18 error 3 Consumer response and class action 4 References 5 External links Causes[edit] According to Canon, one may get an E18 due to any of the following: Camera activating and lens opening while in a confined space or being blocked Extracted lens getting jarred Low battery condition as the unit is turned on or off Dropping of the camera Foreign substances, such as dust, sand or dirt entering into the camera body. General jarring of the camera "General camera malfunction" One major contributor to E18 lens errors is the improper use of camera cases, or the carrying of cameras in pockets. An
screwed up and the only thing that it does is takes the lens out, takes it back in and then dies with "Error E16" I searched around the web and everywhere people said that the problem is of unknown origin and it's not uncommon. The resolution they proposed was to send the camera to an authorized Canon service for a replacement. So far so good. Send the camera away … but here is the problem - my warranty ended an year ago, so I was unlucky. So I had no answer to the problem… until my dad came up with something which should work on all "asia-tech" (as you may have seen in Armageddon (1998)) - HIT IT HARD WITH THE 5$ WRENCH! It turns out that hard shake or some firm slap of the camera fixes the problem most of the time, but this hides some risks - if you get the error, you are most likely to get it again some time in the future, so i suggest you send it to the Canon service for a replacement. So remember HIT or SHAKE hard before you give up - it may save your camera (for at least a little while). As a side effect of the E16 error the only mode that works is the Video mode, which, in my opinion, is funny - check it out: Canon A610 E16 Error video mode. As you can see the frame is cropped in half and has funky colors.

I slapped it once and shook it 2-3 times, and that worked like a charm. You are a genious! l1avs says: September 8, 2010 at 8:03 pm Fantastic! worked a treat x2 slaps + 5 second shake. Thank You Rob Reiman says: November 20, 2010 at 6:10 pm OMG!! This just worked for me too!! Unbelievable. I was using a Powershot SD790 that we have loved for years. OK, I'll be completely honest here. I actually just bought a replacement (S95), and I now plan to keep both given the reviews of the picture quality (especially in low light) of the S95. But I can now feel comfortable letting my highschool daughter use the 790. To the person that posted this recommended fix for the E16 error, THANKYOU! I knocked the camera twice moderately with my knuckles, and shook the camera for 5 seco
