Hi

Your lens is damaged or defective and needs to be replaced.

We no longer offer this repair because the lens and the mainboard of the camera must 'match' so that they work properly together and it's difficult to have a huge stock of different series lenses to be able to find one that will match your mainboard.

You can try finding someone to install a new lens for you and hopefully they will have a lens that will work properly, and you can also look for a lens online to install yourself.

Canon will want $150 or so for the repair if you send it to them.

Sorry I don't have better news than that for you, but hope this helps.
