PowerShot S5 IS: "Lens Error Restart Camera"

Whenever I plough my camera on, the lens will start to motility in and out quickly for around 5 seconds, then it will beep and display the "Lens Mistake Restart Camera" message on the screen. What is incorrect and how do I gear up it?

It requires virtually one grain of sand caught in the lens gears to stall the motor.

Starting time, try taking out the batteries, and holding the power button for about 10 seconds. And so put the batteries back in and try again.

If the error message returns information technology is usually one of ii things, an issue with the lens motor/gears, or with the lens comprehend shutters. Since your model has a separate lens cap, it is probably the lens motor/gears.

You lot can try blowing some canned air in the gap around the extended lens to run into if it blows loose some sand or crud from the gears. You can too effort cleaning out what you can around that gap with a small-scale paintbrush or even only running a piece of paper inside the rim. If that doesn't work, it's time for surgery...

If you are mechanically inclined you tin can try to take the camera apart and await at the gears.

If not, you can try to forcefulness the lens back into identify. Proceed in mind while this strategy may piece of work, and has worked for me once in the by, course there is a change you will further damage your photographic camera. It'southward probably non worth the cost to repair anyway at its age, and then it might exist worth a try if it is otherwise headed for the trash. Turn the photographic camera on, and expect at the lens head on. If you see that the gap around the lens is bigger on ane side, the lens might accept gotten bumped out of alignment. Power the camera on, and while the lens is extended pop out the batteries so the lens stays extended. Y'all tin can try sticking a pocket-sized apartment screwdriver or similar in the gap on the tighter side, and pry gently. If yous don't have anything handy that fits, or if this attempt doesn't work, you tin can try pushing the lens back into place.

Concluding resort- simply exercise this if the lens glass does non extend past the front bezel of the lens (or if yous have an appropriate surface similar a safe pad to prevent damage to your lens). Push the rim of lens in with some strength on the side where the gap is bigger. Don't button on the glass. If information technology won't motility and you need more than force, place the camera pointing face down with the lens flat on a tabular array or other flat surface. Stand directly over the camera, hold it with both hands a requite information technology a quick shove Directly downwards (not all your weight, but a good shove).

If all options neglect, it is probably time for a new camera.

Good luck!

Compressed air blown betwixt the joints of the lens volition only accident debris into the photographic camera and on to the sensor.  Compressed air is a bad idea
