Lens defects are quite common. This is usually unpleasant sand or sand that interferes with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera appears to have been dropped with the lens removed. Or most of the camera is turned on, but this lens protects it from blocking, make sure it is turned off.
I wrote a blog post saying that you can do this to fix this. They only appear and work for 50% of lens problems, but are worth a try. The mailing list contains:
- Remove the batteries and wait a few minutes.
- Try holding down the menu, function, function setting or OK button while accessing the camera. Otherwise, you will find a huge factory reset option.
- Try turning on the camera without inserting a memory card.
- Inside the house, put the camera on your back and rotate it while holding the AF button to try to focus the camera while the camera is in focus. ” the target is extinguished.
- Use compressed air to blow out all the cracks around the glasses or use a shop vacuum cleaner.
- Use any thin piece of paper or crochet hook to remove all visible parts attached to the fiber.
- Gently tap the camera to level jammed mechanics or remove food crumbs (obvious warning: this could cause further damage).
- Lightly push or pull on the lens barrel as a real remedy (again, other damage is possible).

This can happen for various reasons, usually after dropping the camera. If the camera falls, shrinks too much in your incredible luggage, a grain of sand has accumulated on the beach, a similar event could have occurred, you can find your business with this error message. These CCTV cameras are mostly made of plastic, which can happen even with regular use when nothing has been done wrong. Problem,
You have no options. Some people buy their luck by removing and replacing the electrical system multiple times, so you might want to give it a try. But if you still have a warranty period, I would do it before something more aggressive, like hitting the lens hard. Visit the Canon repair home page here.

I have a PowerShot A495 and recently the lens almost got stuck in fully extended mode. Every time I tried to turn on the compact camera, I got a restart “lens error, auto-off – camera” – and it turned off.
After visiting several regions on the internet and just trying to find a number of fixes, I got desperate.
When I learned that this camera was not under warranty and the total cost of repairs could reach or exceed the price of the camera, I desperately tried to make a move.
After removing the batteries, SD card and card and leaving the camera overnight, I replaced the batteries and certificate in the morning. I then turned on the camera and, holding down the Function / OK button and the shutter button, connected the extended lens barrel to the light tip, face down, right into the new tough office. I was glad to hear the lens motor rotate and to see howthe lens barrel is retracted.
Idle mode on December 29 from 14:00 to 16:46.
Less time compared to a year? Cool, send it to Canon for warranty service. The lens mechanism of compact cameras is one of the most vulnerable and can break even with normal use. They do fix it for free.

My Powershot S100 had a similar problem. Beep beep, Error “,” Abandoned target down. I certainly didn’t drop the next one because I was holding it when it showed up. And I’m not onnyal (as far as I know). It turned out that Canon did not correct this situation literally a year after the purchase. They do have a revocation notice, my serial number was not in the range listed on their website. I have had several before Canon eos, but I have no chance of getting post-warranty support that wouldn’t. They very politely deny you gratitude. In fact, if you google “s100 lens error”, a person will see that, for the most part, this error occurs multiple times. I found this surprising considering this camera was new for $ 420.
Desperate and abandoned by Canon alone, I decided to fix the problem myself. I ordered a replacement lens on eBay and later got the s100 working again. It was awesome, I felt awesome and bragged to all my friends. Unfortunately, it only lasted about 2 weeks. More beeps, “lens error”.
tldr; I think this is probably a great camera, made just for bastards

Use compressed air to blow holes around the lens – perhaps use a commercial vacuum cleaner. Use a piece of tissue paper or a needle to remove any visible grain. Press down gently on the camera to align jammed mechanisms or remove debris (obvious warning: this could cause further damage)
I recommend doing a “hard reset” of the camera. To do this, remove the battery from the affected camera, then close the battery compartment. Now hold the power jumper for 5 seconds, then release. Replace the fully charged battery and fold the camera.
If the lens is partially or fully extended, try retracting or gently squeezing the lens barrel, as I would say the camera is trying to extend or retract the object. Usually the middle part rotates as the entire lens expands, and you can try to “help” it a little.
