This error normally comes when your Canon camera lens gets stuck in the barrel itself. There are some steps which can be followed to resolve this problem which as follows, STEP 1: Switch on the camera while you hold the shutter button and connect it to the AC adapter or to the USB cable at the same time. STEP 2: Now by default the lens should get properly aligned if not try to twist them slightly by holding down the camera lens with soft hands. STEP 3: Just push and pull the lens slightly as it extends automatically. STEP 4: Now when the lens is in the hard surface power on your camera. STEP 5: Try to hit the camera softly beside the lens which might solve the issue. You can try to format the memory card completely and then reinsert to your camera which might be the issue at times.

Camera shake is more likely the reason. These cameras do not have image stabilizers so a steady hand is a must. A mini tripod is a great item to use. Or just sit it on a ledge and press and see if it is any better. Also setting it on self timer (while on the ledge) gives the camera a chance to be stable without you touching it. Hope this helps. Also check what setting you have it on.

Because each picture is 2.5MB each. Buy a larger card.

Zoom lenses - stuck in its housing or fully extended are caused by factors like - knocks, dead butteries debris or some form of corrosion . This is a risky method and I would recommend for the last option, if other conventional methods don't work. Provided your lens has collapsed into its housing - you try a little knock on the camera with your palm while pressing the on/off button. If that does not work, you are on your own - to decide.

Maybe it has a battery for the date settings, and the battery is faulty.

Unfortunately, there is no viewfinder dioptric adjustment on this model. You will need to wear your glasses.

In the menu, use the "format" function. Warning: you lose all your photos. Make a backup first to your PC.

This is serious business! If you value you camera, take it to a service centre for proper servicing.

Check your shooting mode. Some features are available for a given mode only. If you set your camera to a pre-programmed mode, many features will be greyed - not available.
