Hi,

The lens has jammed on a friends nikon coolpix l12.

I'm trying to find the srvice manuals for the thing but can't.

Any links would be helpful.. I've got the thing in pieces but cant get the actual lens housing out.

when i turn on my camera, it says lens error, and the lens is halfway sticking out and wont retract all the way. is there a way i can fix this?

my lens error on the L12 is this, press power button, it starts to power up and open shutter, then closes back up and makes a slight noise about 3 or 4 times and the white "lens error" screen appears with red lettering and a red exclamation point in a red circle and power button flashes green.

MY CAMERA SAYS LENS ERROR. IT DOESNT CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND IT DOESNT OPEN ALL THE WAY. WHEN I TURN IT ON THE LENS COMES OUT BUT MAKES AN FUNNY NOISE THEN GOES HALF BACK IN. BUT IN THE PROCESS OF THIS I CAN SEE WHAT AM AIMING AT THEN THE LENS ERROR MESSAGE COMES ON. HOW DO I FIX IT OR IS THERE AN PLACE I CAN TAKE IT TOO OR SEND IT TO SO THEY CAN FIX IT. THANKS

Power on camera then push firmly on shutter lens and it should retract. Worked for me.

LENS ERROR IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND DON'T OPERATE IT MANUALLY...GO AND SEEK SOME CAMERA ENGINEER FOR THAT.
