Nikon s220 lens error

When it is turned on the lens goes out, tries to adjust itself, then goes back in, then out several times & tries to forcus before turning itself back off. It makes "whirling" & buzzing noises all the while it's focusing. My daughter did take to Florida this past spring; however she's used it since then. I used canned air on the lens when I turned it on but it didn't help.

The s220 seems to be very susceptible to lens errors, usually associated with the lens barrel being unaligned. It only takes the slightest bump/drop in many cases. Fixing it is a hit or miss solution. http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html Has a good list of possible fixes.

My nikon coolpix s220 have a lens error and when i turn it onthe lens goes in and out like its trying to focus and it makes a wierd noise. it also wont let me do anything it just pops up saying lens error

Try removing the battery/batteries and clean the contacts underneath. Also, clean the battery contacts and the charger, if so equipt. To do this, dampen a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and rub the contacts. Blow into the compartment after to clear any residue.Thanks, Dana

My nikon S220 has a lens error makes weird noise and the lens goes in and out 6 times when i turn it on. Help

Lens is probably just stuck, because of debris or misaligned gears. The lens can in about 50% of times be repaired without having to replace it. Try to return to manufacturer. If you're out of warranty, there are third party place that fix them such as camera lens repair. There are also free camera repair guide websites that show you how to replace the lens, the part is usually available on ebay.

Re Nikon S220 digital camera. Lens error noted -

A tiny bit of grit can jam the gears of the lens. Sometimes a tap can knock it out. Try this at your own risk. Take out the batteries. Don't hit the camera on a hard surface, just use you hand. If it hurts, that is too hard. Try lens down, then all the sides.

Nikon S220. Lens error. Turns on but displays lens error only.. Cannot take pics

The following blog outlines some repair options for a lens error. They won't work for all cases, but they're worth a try if the camera's no longer under warranty:

S220 Coolpix has a lens error problem, turn camera on tries to focus (Lens moves in and out making a weird noise) but comes up with a lens error problem

Did it drop? sounds like the motor is trying to move the lens as you need, but the lens has come out of its tracking. If there is no outside damage and you still have warranty left, you should get it replaced, otherwise it means opening it to place the lens back on its tracking, but this can be tricky.

Ok ive had my camera for maybe one week its a nikon coolpix s220

Try jiggling the lens. Use compressed air to blow out any grit around the lens barrel. If that doesn't do it, you'll need to get the camera serviced.
