-   I had this camera for only three days when I turn on my camera, it says "Lens error, restart camera". I have turned on my camera and I have taken out the batteries and the memory card.-   Friendlytoo

-   I received it as a 35 Service Award with my employer. It worked for almost 350 minutes when the Zoom Lens stopped extending or retreating.

Canon Support told me to take the battery out for 20 minutes.

I said are you kidding I am at a wedding and I am suppose to wait 20 minutes after everyone left.

So guess what the company is going to replace it. I tried to tell them to give another camera to no avail.-   Guest

I have a Canon A460 that does this every now and then. Usually if I removed the batteries and put them back in, it does the trick. If that doesn't work, and the camera will stay on, try resetting it. Click Menu> Tools and then scroll all the way to the last option Reset All. Good luck!

same problem for me.. got it for christmas, tok a few pics and turned it on on my vacation on the 30th and got the lense error. now the thing is useless, and the warranty may cover it but as it is a gift, how does one get the receipt??

When I tried to turn on my camera, it beeps and says; "Lens error. Restart Camera" and refuses to turn on.

I have taken the batteries and memory card out, tried plugging it in the computer... nothing seems to reset it...
