How do I remove the lens?

Question 1

Hi dude i got a problem with my nikon coolpix s560 when i switch it on it shows LENS ERROR do you have any solution for it???? please guide me. thanks

Hey dude, the lens needs to be replaced, that's the only way to fix it. You can probably find one on that big auction website, they don't pay me so I don't like to type their name.

Where can i go to fix my d3100 lens

If the lens is worth paying $125+ to repair, contact Nikon directly. If it's not then just replace it and sell the defective one online on that auction website. (they don't pay me, I don't type their name)

My camera fell while the lens was open and now it wont close the whole way. when i turn it on it comes on then switches of again

Your lens mechanism is most likely broken. The tiny plastic gears in these things break or strip out easily with impact. On rare occasion you can jockey the lens back into place without damage, which at this point is worth a try, but don't cross your fingers! One solution is to find a donor camera on auction that has a broken lcd screen... use one or the other as a donor and transplant the lcd or the lens mechanism (whichever is easier to get at) into the other. I've done this for less than $30, but takes a fair bit of work. If it's a popular camera, you may have to get competitive on your bidding even on the broken cams. :) Good luck!

LENS ERROR ON DISPLY

Your camera almost certainly has a lens error, this is such a common fault that I hope you don't mind me pasting my stock generic answer below. No point in reinventing the wheel!

Stuck lenses are probably the most common reason that compact digital cameras get thrown away, but there's a fair chance of recovering use of your camera again

The fault is commonly caused by dirt or grit blocking the mechanism, or due to it having suffered a recent fall. Another common cause is that the camera was in a pocket or bag and the power button accidentally activated and tried to open the lens against resistance. The mechanism may have simply become dislodged or there may be parts which have broken.

If your camera is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse then contact the manufacturer's service department in your country to find out about a free repair. If the warranty has expired though a professional repair will far exceed the cost of replacing your camera. You will therefore have nothing to lose by trying to fix this yourself.

Please click here and you will be taken to an excellent article provided by the Camera Repair website. For the most part, you'll be guided on how to physically manipulate your camera to try and clear the fault. Although the article mentions Canon a few times, the advice applies equally to all cameras with lens errors and is not model-specific.

Good luck, I hope you manage to use this information to fix your camera, or at least are able to use the information to help decide whether to buy another camera. If you do decide that you have to throw your camera away then don't forget to remove the memory card as it can be used in other devices.

I don't know how to remove the lens for fujifilm s3200

You don't.

It may look superficially like an interchangeable lens camera, but it's not. The lens is permanently fixed to the camera.

It won't focus properly and i don't know why. I don't change anything on the camera when i switch lenses and this one won't focus at all and if it does it take a long time. Not sure what...

If it is a auto focus lens the lens should be serviced and cleaned. If an auto focus lens gets dirty it gets stuck.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 Lens Won´t Open

This is a common problem with TZ3s. Power the camera on, then puff a little graphite onto the lens cover and coax it open with a tooth pic. Do this, powering the camera on/off till lens opens normally. Add little more graphite if necessary, but sparingly.

Graphite is used because it is extremely slippery, but will not attract dust like an oil will. At the same time, it is black! so you don't want to use anymore than absolutely necessary make lens work. Even then, check to be sure lens itself is clean after, and wipe carefully with an Eyeglass lens cloth only if necessary.

Another option in to remove the lens cover altogether by just pulling the leafs out of the camera. Another option is to sell your working but lens cover problem to a repairman on ebay, and buy a good TZ3 or TZ5 on ebay used, refurbished or new. Good prices if you bide your time.

Don't put in your best bid to the very last minute of the auction. In the mean time, put a camera you are interested in on your MyEbay Watch list and set a reminder alarm on your cell phone about 5 minutes before the auction is to close, then if the price is still good, enter your best bid 30 seconds before the end of the auction. Refresh the auction page on your PC to keep track of the bidding right up to the last 30 minutes so you can see the last remain bid and if it is worth outbidding on this camera. Again, if you are not in a hurry and bide your time, you can get a great buy. There are plenty of these cameras sold every day.

I have a Ricoh KR-5 Super II and i have fresh batteries in, the shutter wont fire, the mirror is stuck in the up position (unless i move a lever down which brings it down), the self timer wont engage, I really want this camera to work. Is the electronics fried? the camera is in great condition. It just seems that anything to do with the shutter cycle is not working. Ive tried taking the bottom plate off and moving the advance lever stop which lets me wind the lever and it advances but when i press the shutter button nothing happens still :\. the Meter also works correctly so i know the batteries are good.
