-   M527-14 Lens Error 7f80

I guess add me to the list on this one. :(

Figured it was a battery issue, but it was not, fresh batteries did not fix the issue. Draining power from the system to try and get it to reset failed also. I power on, it attempts to extend the lens, fails, tries again, it extends, but gives the error. It had been about a month between last use, which was fine. -   pakka77

I have the exact same problem as above...the camera is only a few months old. It started making a few funny noises intermittently, then one day when I started it up it just made horrible grinding/bad noises, the lens won't retract at all even on restarting the camera, as indicated by the error message...

NADA!

My camera work and I even got to take a picture, even though I had a low battery. My camera shut off and told me to change the batteries. I did, and my camera didn't turn on. It said lens error, restart camera. I restarted my camera, and it kept saying the same thing, and now no longer lets me access my camera and the pictures.

I have a canon ixus 900Ti and without warning it no refuses to work it just sends the lens out and returns half way before displaying "lens error please reset". Switching off and removing the battery does not work.
