I HAVE A DIMAGE 600 WHICH DO NOT COMPLETELY OPEN OR CLOSE. IT KEEP DISPLAYING ERROR SYSTEM S0042. WHAT THIS MEAN AND HOW CAN BE FIX? I WILL APRECIATE YOUR HELP, THANKS.
I had this problem with my 600. I noticed that the end, center, part of the focusing mechanism was slightly out of alignment. (The part that usually sticks out furthest.) Once I straightened that piece, it was able to retract and the camera could be closed. Look at the focusing mechanism from all sides to make sure it is straight. The part was very slightly off, but enough to cause the error. My camera has been working fine since.

The S0042 error code relates to a problem with the zooming mechanism (lens would not retract or extended) Press the power button on and hold it down while extending and twisting the telescopic zoom lens. It might fix your problem. In any case it could not make it worse Good luck!

Camera will not open or close. error message S0042 is displayed
When opening the lens cover,screen switches on but is blurred,then error code S0042 appears and LCD switches itself off
I have the exact same problem with the lens stuck at halfway in and out. The proposed twisting didn't work. The mechanism doesn't really seem to twist and you can't get a good grip anyway. Any other thoughts.
