I still will get F--- error where the camera won't work. I tried cleaning the contacts. When I put a little pressure on the lense by moving it up.. the F-- goes away and it will take the picture. I will get about every 10 pictures and a couple times in a row under exposed pictures.. Then I will get a solid black picture. I feel the lense is a little loose and not making a snug connection. Is this something that can be fixed?
Sometimes lens mount to camera can get loose but mostly lens has a electrical connection problem that you would be better off just replacing lens with a good used one from eBay.

I have a solution for Nikon coolpix S5/S6. I am not shure but it might be similar for S8, You can try my document "nikon s5 s6 lens cover error repair.doc" uploaded on site

It sounds like there is mechanical binding inside the lens assembly.
If you are good at working on small mechanics such as like inside a watch, and you have the tools to work on the camera, you could take it apart to see if you can easily fix it.
Most likely you may not be able to buy internal parts for the lens if it needs parts. The lens is normally changed as a complete unit during service.

I believe you're hearing the VR in the lens adjusting. Try turning the VR off and see if you hear the sound. If not, then you have a normal operating lens.

Try jiggling the lens. Use compressed air to blow out any grit around the lens barrel. If that doesn't do it, you'll need to get the camera serviced.

Hi,
Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended. If the camera is still under warranty, before trying any of these, please please first contact your camera's maker to see if they'll cover the repair, or to determine how much they'll charge for the repair. Who knows, you might get lucky. But if they quote you a number that's higher than the value of your camera, you may want to consider the following methods.
Place the camera flat on its back on a table, pointed at the ceiling. Press and hold the shutter button down, and at the same time press the power-on button. The idea is that the camera will try to auto focus while the lens is extending, hopefully seating the lens barrel guide pins in their slots. Blow compressed air in the gaps around the lens barrels with the idea of blowing out any sand or grit that may be in there jamming the lens. Other variations include blowing with a hair dryer in “no heat” setting, or sucking the gaps with a vacuum (careful with this one).
Thank you!
