The lens error indicates that the movement is inhibited possibly by sand or grit. It
also may be misaligned or an internal component has failed.
Here are a few links to some other things to try. With newer
cameras I am usually hesitant to suggest these options
since they include some more extreme procedures that may
cause further damage if not done correctly, but since
yours is probably no longer under warranty, they may save you an
expensive repair bill. An older Canon camera is used to demonstrate these procedures but, the
lens structure of these compact cameras is the same so
the examples do apply to this unit. These procedures are
effective about 60% of the time. Click on or copy and paste the links into your browser.
