Digital camera lens makes noise when extruding

From the way you describe the problem it appears that the retraction mechanism has become out of line. I think that as you can hear a clicking sound the mechanism is working but not engaging with the lens. Try gently applying slight pressure on the front of the lens this may help to re-engage. You may need to consider a trip to the repair shop.

Hello

OK, you will be able to download the manual HERE.

Kind regards

Try these procedures.

while switching it on, try to tap it very gently, little bit force should be applied to reset the gears, do this several times till you are sure its working, other options are to take it to a qualified tech for reseting the gears, but tapping it, while holding it on right hand, and tapping it on left hand should make it work...check out

Sir,
The problem seems that miniscule dust/sand particles jam the gears which moves the lens.
It is possible to turn the lens motor by hand bit by bit and remove particles stuck in the gear.
Also try restoring the factory settings and resetting the camera and seeing if that makes the error to go away. To do that, hold down the Menu button for five seconds. This should reset everything and (hopefully) make the error stop. If it doesn't, then you've got a separate problem-- come back and let us know if the error is still there. Also, if you have photos stored on the camera's internal memory, resetting the camera will delete those so make sure to download them first.
Thanks
Good luck!

You should first check if the Lens of the Canon PowerShot SD630 Camera is clean,then check if it is the GPU problem.

Looks like the lens is "out of alignment". Canon charges heftily for this repair. However if the lens is not broken then many people have got it working through systematic bashing. Click here to view the thread

replace the motorized lens and you should be ok. You have to buy a duplicate Parts camera from Ebay to have the part to fix yours.

Manually rotating sensor rotor inside camera and cleaning gear fixed the Canon "lens error" for me.
