I have an Easyshare M1063 camera that will not power on. We need to start a list to get this item recalled.

Lens error is usually caused by mechanical faults concerning lens assembly. The lens cannot extend or retract fully, the error is detected and lens error is returned.
Sometimes this can be fixed playing with the lens during extraction or retraction to help the lens asset getting back to normal.
More often the camera lens must be disassembled and re-assembled by a technician to fix the problem.

I had the same exact problem. When the camera turns on and then lens extends, hold the lens out while the camera shuts off. Then sort of move it around a bit. I did this and when I turned it on, it was fixed. I guess something was jammed in the lens.

I have an easyshare and there's a 2 part lens cover that closes when you turn it off and opens when you turn it on - normally. Mine only closes one part of the cover when I turn it off and opens when I turn it on. Kodak said I could send it in but I may have sat on it and caused it to malfunction. In which case they wouldn't cover it. Yours sounds like it's not opening at all. Look at the lens, and if you see a flat black cover with a wavy line instead of glass when you turn it on, yours is stuck shut. If it's still under warranty they should fix it unless you sat on yours too. Consumer Reports rated these a best buy but somehow this problem fell through the cracks of their testing.

FOLLOW this procidure open the camera then rotate the lens and set it like it was before
