How To Restart Canon Camera
I had this problem with the SX1 IS. I took the battery's out including the small date battery, replaced and that has seemed to correct the error. I also low formatted the SD card because there had been an error on a file at one stage. -- SteveT SteveRT's gear list:SteveRT's gear list Canon PowerShot S2 IS Canon PowerShot SX1 IS Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Sony SLT-A77 Sony 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM +2 more Reply Reply with quote Complain canon ixus lens error will shutdown automatically HenryUK • Regular Member • Posts: 334 Re: Lens Error- please restart Camera S3 IS In reply to COLC • Oct 27, 2011 I had an S2 IS that did the same thing. 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. You might as well buy a secondhand one.I have seen micro USM and complete optical units on eBay. It's possible to replace them yourself if you are mechanically dextrous and have the right tools. It's quite a tricky procedure though. -- Henry HenryUK's gear list:HenryUK's gear list Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Canon EOS 7D Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM +3 more Reply Reply with quote Complain COLC OP • New Member • Posts: 15 Re: Lens Error- please restart Camera S3 IS In reply to SteveRT • Oct 27, 2011 Thanks for replies, I cannot find any reference to removing the date battery; are you able to advise the procedure?

Your help in https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3086857 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 error" (older Canon Powershot), "ACCESS" error (Sony http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html 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 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 cas

Note that even if your camera was produced by another manufacturer, and not Canon, you can still use our instructions to repair the lens error. This web site's mission is to provide a source of information and help lens error for the Canon lens error. Canon lens error is usually reported as E18 error. The problem is common for most cameras with telescopic lens barrel. Other manufacturers might have a different name for the same problem (lens error, access error, zoom error, lens obstructed, focus error...). Some cameras only display a numerical error, such as E18. Due to the common nature of this problem, it seems that Canon has dropped the numerical marking of this error in newer cameras, and is now using the term "lens error". We will explain lens error will our procedure for getting rid of the lens error on the example of Canon cameras, however, note that our repair instructions can also be applied to cameras produced by other manufacturers as well. Canon lens error (E18 error) happens when the lens gets stuck while trying to extend or retract. The problem can happen due to a number of reasons: If dirt or sand get into the lens mechanism If a a user dropps his or her camera with the lens extended Another reason is turning on the camera in a situation where the lens cannot extend fully, like, inside the camera case or a pocket Or if the batteries run out while the camera is being turned on or off. So the batteries run out while the lens is extending or retracting. Older models of Canon camera will beep a few times and the LCD will display a small "E18" sign in the lower-left corner of the display. Some cameras might not beep or show any message, depending on the manufacturer and model. The lens will get stuck in the extended position, and refuse to move either to focus the lens or to retract when powered off. In some cases, the lens might extend or retract to a certain amount, but not fully. Here is what the lens error (E18 error on Canon) looks like. You just get a black screen with small "E18" sign in the lower-left corner: Photo: Canon lens error It seems that more and more people are showing up who took good care of their camera, and still received a lens (E18) err
