what happen if my exilim camera lense is stuck in the camera

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras.
There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html

you might have pushed the lens into the barrel. small lens barrel has 3 metal pins that ride inside the larger lens barrel as it twists. Pushing it sometimes cracks the plastic holding these 3 pins in. one way to fix it is to carefully disassemble the entire lens barrel. be careful...sometimes a part just snaps, or is already snapped. The easiest way would be to replace the lens assembly with a good one you can get from another camera like this. There are no spare parts for cams like this so you can try to get another cam that has a different damage other than the lens barrel.

this is a common issue the lens gears are stripped. you have to change them out. if you do not fell confortable doing this it is recomended to take it to a digital camera repair company the only proble with that is like most people find out is their is not that many of us around and even if you do find one they might not work on casio. I do and their are a few others. hope this helps.

I did the same exact thing a couple of months ago. All i did was wiggled it around and then I pushed it back in place.

"lens error" will only be fixed by sending into repairs. 800-706-2534 and keep choosing option 2. Tell them you have a lens error and they will tell you where to send it.
