Hi I found this info on the Nikon Australia website:

"System Error" or "Lens Error" message in LCD monitor Question My COOLPIX camera displays a "System Error" or "Lens Error" message. What should I do? Answer Having a "System Error" or "Lens Error" message displayed on the camera's LCD monitor would generally indicate that your camera needs servicing. A System Error is a general error which can be caused by many things: lens problem, CF Card problem, general camera failure, etc. To troubleshoot, please try the following:

1. Use the memory card that originally came with your camera (or a Nikon approved card).
2. Remove and replace the battery.

On the other hand, a Lens Error generally means that an error has occured during the lens operation. To troubleshoot, please try the following:

1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove and replace the battery.
3. Turn on the camera.

If the above tips do not help, your camera must be sent to our Nikon Authorised Service Centres, there are no user serviceable parts in our Nikon COOLPIX cameras. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we will do everything to repair your Nikon camera as quickly as possible. Click Here for our Nikon Authorised Service Centres details.


Seems you may just have to remove and replace the battery - sort of like a Windows Restart to fix a computer problem! - this would reset your camera's memory.

Hope this helps.

i dont think you can do anything you just have to reffer to a proffessional because there are some gears that maybe damaged

Hi,
When system control does not get lens initialize signal while extending it, then it try again by folding it and extending and still no required initialize signal then generate error and stop further functions.

Please remove battery and open camera and remove flexible wire of lens mechanism from connector, there would be lock that needs to release to remove flexible wire. Clean wire terminals with alcohol, let it dry and put back flexible wire in connector and lock it. Now put battery and power camera up, hopefully lens will work properly.
