Lens errors are fairly common. 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 ...Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them.And here is a video summary of the steps:

This nearly always happens because an SD card is used that is FAR too BIG for the unit. 1 GB or LESS it says in the manual.

Hi,
please check that your camera has a properly working Sd card. If the SD card is potentially damaged, then you would not be able to view the damaged contents on the camera. Please take a few test photos and see if the display photos returns. If not, then it might be time for a factory reset.
Thank you.
Question edited for all the typos.
Question moved from Casio computer to Casio Camera.
If you are reading something back in 2009 make sure you aren't reading 'Suggested Answers' as they are often not the item you have. It also sounds like you are giving a testimonial as a new post to someone that is no longer on the Fixya site?
This is your only post, did you fix your camera?

For checking out the problems related to your Casio XJ-M255, I will suggest you check out the manual or download it and
look at page 19 of the manual, all will become clear.
NEVER remove or insert a memory card while the camera is powered up. The camera is probably shutting itself off to avoid damaging the data on the card.
