Hello and welcome
The most common cause for a Lens error:

Misaligned Lens rings
Sand and grid wedged in between the lens and the barrel.
Dropping the camera
Ran down battery

The following solutions are there by which you may Fix the lens error

• Firstly you can try removing the batteries and replacing it with a new set of fully charge ones
• If the batteries ran down while you were taking photos with the lens extended, you might also get this error. Remove the the memory card and replace the batteries with a fresh recharged set. Try to power on the unit with the fresh set of batteries while the memory card is removed
• Connect your camera to your computer using your USB DATA cable which came with the camera. Once the camera gets power in this mode, the screen should stay off, hence, supplying the lens with more power to push or pull out/in
• Place the camera on a sturdy table with the lens pointing to the ceiling. With a fresh set of batteries installed(Do this without a memory card) hold down the shutter button while you power on the unit
• Now, you can either use a compressed air canister to blow around the lens area. This will result in the sand or dust particles to be blown out of the area between the lens and the barrel. Or, you can use a vacuum and and carefully place the nozzle around the lens to out the particles

Hi,

This usually means that the switch for write protection has been flipped on the memory card itself. To resolve this, open the memory door and remove the memory card. There will be a small switch on the card, flip it to the off position (opposite of its current state) and reinsert the card into the camera.

This happends due to high noise. Select night mode from the camera and turn off your flash. This hels in getting clearer pictures

Hi,
You have software problem . Please get it fixed at dealer then.

Press the Menu button. Select Setup (the wrench icon, or else the last item). Select Language (either the waving flag icon, or else "xxx/Language" where xxx is Language in whatever language is currently selected. No matter the language, it should still say "Language" in English after the slash. In that menu, each language is labeled in that language, so you should see "English" as one of the options. Select that, and everything should be back in English.

iTHINK THIS IS THE PROBLEM OF YOUR MEMORY CARD . SO PLEASE FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD ON ON A COMPUTER WHICH NO INFECTED WITH A VIRUS WITH SELECTING FAT FILE SYSTEM THE PBLM WIL B REMOVED SURELY OTHER WISE CHANGE UR CARD

If your Nikon EN-EL10 battery for your Coolpix S4000 won't be charged, there seems something wrong with your battery or battery charger, so you need a new one. The problem about lens, if something was loose, there maybe a screw and after a term it may cause lens error.

Take the memory card out of your camera and look at it. SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card. If the switch is already in the proper position, slide it fully the other way and then back again.

Hi there please follow the steps and let me know the result.
1. Ensure batteries are fully charged & clean the battery connector point in side the battery compartment.
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand, dirt or any damaged etc.
3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 5 minutes and refit the battery only.
5. Now turn on camera( with out card ) and see ,if working then fix the memory card & again turn on the camera. If working then fine . Otherwise format the memory card and fix back in camera again & try. Make sure before format the memory card take a back up all photos in your computer then format. If no luck then reset or restore the camera setting by pressing Menu key for 2 sec .. in not done the press both Menu & self time key for 2 - 4 sec.
i hope it will gives you success. Thanks & Before you leave, if you have found my information helpful and if you haven't already done so then please press the ACCEPT button, this is how I am paid for helping you today. POSITIVE feedback & bonus is appreciated

There is an error in the instructions provided in the User's Manual and Quick Start Guide for the Coolpix S3000 and S4000. The information contained in the manual and guide instruct the user to plug the UC-E6 USB cable into the camera first before plugging into the AC power supply. This process will not switch the camera power on automatically.

Please follow the steps below in this order only * :
1 - Connect the USB cable UC-E6 to the Charging AC Adapter EH-68P.

2 - Plug the Charging AC Adapter into an electrical outlet.

3 - Be sure that the camera is turned off and then connect the USB cable UC-E6 to the camera.
When the green LED starts blinking slowly after a few seconds, charging has begun. When the LED goes off, charging is complete.
* If the charging light fails to come on at all, please sure to follow the steps in the correct order detailed above. Connecting with the incorrect order may result in a "no led light" situation.

The rechargeable battery needs to be replaced, or there is something wrong with the charging circuits. If the charging light is working it means the circuits are okay, the battery needs to be replaced. If not sure! take it to a camera shop for a quick check.

hi,

there are two memories on your camera. there is an on-board memory and then the memory card.
usually the on-board memory is usually small and its completely possible that you have being taking all your pictures onto the on-board memory which is not large.

because video files are usually large, it may not be possible to record your videos onto the on-board memory.

here are some tips for you.

to confirm if you have being using on-board memory for your pictures, you should remove the memory card then take pictures with the camera. if you can stiil access all your pictures then you have being using the on=board memory.

the memory card could also might have not being well inserted, so insert properly and use.
its also possible the memory card might be corrupt so scan for viruses.
or it may need formating.

N.B. before formatting please back up your data.

The S4000 uses SD cards up to 2GB in size and SDHC cards up to 32GB in size. Don't worry about the make of the card, as long as you stick with the major brands (Lexar, PNY, SanDisk, etc).

Repairing the camera is expensive. Better to exchange and get a new one.

hi there,

first i would ask this, did you remove the battery while it was on your purse??
if you didn`t, i`m afraid the battery had caused the LCD power not worked properly
you`ll need a professional technical support to fix this

thanks

The camera has only 45MB internal memory. So it can take video only for a short time. You need to use extra SD cards to take longer videos.

there might not be anything blocking it it could just be broken from shiping or just a bad camera that got shipped...they are not all perfect if it takes pics and does everything else the right way then u have nuthin to worry bout...think of it as one of a kind...you will always know what camera is urs when it gets mixed up with others
