Get the message, Lens error, restart camera

M A, this happens most often if the camera was either dropped with the lens extended, knocking it off the guides, or if exposed to dirt/debris that will bind the lens when the camera turns on. Check the space around the lens and see if the spacing is equal distance all the way around. Sometimes you can use a vacuum cleaner and apply vacuum suction on the lens while powering it on. this may remove some of the dirt/debris and free the mechanism. If none of that works, you may have to replace the lens. The guide for that is here. Hope this helps, good luck.

This place fixed mine: www.camerasandparts.com Service through them was wonderful - they only work on Canons though.

I have a Canon Ixus 130 with the same error message, lens error. Now it won't start. I dropped it in the river. Can I use this guide to open the lens?
