The lens on your digital camera is highly sensitive.
The lens on your Canon digital camera is one of the most sensitive components on the device. Because it is so delicate it is necessary to clean and maintain it on a regular basis. If you don't, your lens will be prone to damage and error. If your Canon lens is already experiencing problems, you may be at a loss as to proceed. The good news is that there are steps you can take to troubleshoot your Canon digital camera with retractable lens and hopefully get it working as well as it did on the day you purchased the camera.
Instructions
1. Turn your camera on and slide the back battery compartment cover off. Remove the battery while the camera is still on, wait ten seconds and replace the battery. If this does not fix the lens error proceed to Step 2.
2. Turn the camera on and off in rapid succession four times. If the lens error is not fixed then proceed to Step 3.
3. Hold the camera so the lens is facing directly at the ground and then tap gently on the bottom of the camera with palm of your hand. The purpose of this is to try and dislodge any dirt or debris from the interior of the camera. If this doesn't work proceed to Step 4.
4. Turn the camera off and place it on a hard even surface with the lens of the camera facing up. Hold down the shutter button while simultaneously turning the camera on. If this doesn't work proceed to Step 5.
5. Turn off the camera and turn it on while simultaneously pulling the lens barrel while the lens is extending to force out any internal obstruction.
