Hi
What you are seeing is a generic message that means there is
some sort of problem with the lens, it could happen in many different
ways such as sand or dirt in the lens gears.
A couple solutions would be to either buy a defective camera online and
make one good camera from the two if you can do that sort of thing
yourself, or secondly have it repaired by somebody.
Don't bother
trying to send the camera to Canon if it is out or warranty (though you can call them and verify
what I'm about to say) because they will want $150+ to do the repair
for you. Parts are not cheap to buy from them.
I know of
one very affordable digital camera repair business... because I own it.
The name is Darntoothysam, feel free to check us out, we are on that
big auction website also (I don't plug their name for free), our seller
ID is 'darntoothysam'. If you Google "darntoothysam" you will find us.
We
have your repair listed as a package in our store for about $70. This
covers a new lens, and return shipping of your camera! We even give a
45 day warranty on parts and labor. If you think you can use us then
please check us out, even if you need to ask more questions then please
feel free to contact me.
Hope this helps,
Thomas

Can view photos on camera but can't take any photos. E18 comes up on screen when you try. Also can't close shutter.
