My Camera lense doesnt come out all the way

I'm afraid no words can solve this problem. If the lens is stuck in one position, or some gears are broke, the only thing that helps is a repair. But before you bring in the camera, contact a Canon certified repair centre and ask what it will cost to repair a camera after you dropped it. The repair could easy cost more than a new camera with better specs, so consider buying a new one too.

try the following:
1.- TURN ON the camera and Push softly the lens
2. Turn OFF the camera and pull softly the lens

if don``t work. Try disassembly the front cover and look if they are an piece or obstruction.

The camera may require manually opening the shoot lense to achieve flash to capture pictures. Observe the camera buttons for every complementary buttons that may require activation prior to photo shoots. Usually smaller cameras with lenses may require manual lense adjustments prior to every photo shoot.

The problem is
1- some dirt somehow got on the outside of the lense. After it was retracted fully in, it prevents the camera from opening again. When you turn it on, if it opens a little bit, try to pull it out NOT too hard and let go a few times. If it opened, clear the outside of the lense. Your camera should be back to normal.
2- If you droped the camera, you probably damaged or dislocated a mechanical part of the lense. You may have to take out the lense by unscrewing it and inspect it for damged parts or disconnected cable. Make sure clean the lense and test it by moving it in and out a few times, before puting it back on the camera.

Good luck!!!!!!!

??? try to clean the lense contacts!!

Try these procedures.


The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.


Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

put duracell batteries in it it will work mine did the same thing when i first got it

try charging the camera. to full capacity. then turn it on.

could be a dead battery

i would not try to push the lens in, it might cause more harm than good.

if that doesnt help you might have a broken gear in the lens retracting mechanics.
