Hi.
If your Sanyo digital camera is not starting and you get lens error 112 or lens error 1114 prompted on display, that means that the lens is getting stuck, and cannot extend or retract fully. The controller board detects the error on startup, and shuts down after displaying the error message.
This errors usually happen because of dirt, or because the lens mechanis mis damaged in consequence of a shock.
If lens does not retract, try
helping the lens back, without putting too much strenght, while you turn off the camera at he same time.
If the lens does not extend, try tapping softly the back of the camera to help lens out, while you turn off the camera at he same time.
If the camera
had been exposed to sand or dust, try blowing canned air on the lens.
If
this does not work, the lens assembly must be taken apart completely
and re-assembed, and for that you need a camera repair shop.
Also call the number listed on the owners manual to get support from the manufacturer.

Solved by Rob's (Robmcd27) recommendation below (I did it and it worked.
thanks Rob):
The problem your having is that sand and/or dirt gets in the lens mechanism of the camera. When the little cog inside gets sand or dirt in it, it prevents it from moving. It is what causes 95 percent of all lens errors. This is how you can fix it.
Take an air compressor (or borrow a friends) and put the nozzle up to the space in between the lens and and the camera. Blow it out real good. It may take a couple of tries, but it should free it up.
