Can you help got a canon cp900 camera i drop it and it saying lens error restart camera what do i do

Try the procedures in this tip.

You may have gotten dirt or dust into the lens mechanism. Sometimes an air cleaner can help the situation.

Try these procedures.

Restarting (turning the camera off and on) rarely helps. Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ... Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

Hi,
Remove the batteries and insert new batteries . Sometimes this may work but in your case the lens is stuck inside, or it will have been damaged . Nothing can be done other than taking to service center to get it repaired .

Hope this helps .
