About a week ago, I went on a trip, took pictures the whole trip, everything was ok.

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 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote accepted Lens errors are fairly common. 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. I have written a blog post about some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 50% of lens errors, but they're

How do I fix this issue / restart camera without sending off to Canon factory as we really the need camera for events in the next couple of weeks? All help greatly appreciated.Ian Submitted: 5 years ago. Category:Camera and Video Share this conversation Expert: Neil replied5 years ago. Hi IanThere are a number of things you can try:1. Ensure batteries are fully charged2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for powershot s3 lens 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 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,

The error message given is simply "Lens Error, Restart Camera" or "e18 error".See this site for all the error reports:http://e18.bitnet.cx/comments.phpGoogle "canon" and "E18" for more information.Here's a PC World report on the problem:http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,124765-page,1/article.htmlThe point of my posting these links is that a certain percentage of people who buy this canon WILL end up getting the e18 and will lose all their investment. Ordinarily that would be acceptable, you would just send it back to Canon and get a new one. But because Canon refuses to admit this is a problem and Canon will not fix it for free, this problem becomes a fatal one. So when you buy one of these cameras I think you should be aware of the risks involved. That is why I posted all these li
