Lens errors are usually caused when there is something interfering with the extension mechanism , or your camera been dropped with the lens extended, or your batteries ran down . try the ff. procedures hope this helps
Usually a stuck lens is caused by dirt getting into the gap between the lens barrel sections. The simplest thing to try is a freshly recharged battery, which might just have the power to overcome the resistance. Plugging in an AV cable sometimes blanks the screen, leaving just a bit more battery power for the lens.
remove the battery, let it sit for at least 2 hours, then put it back.
put the batteries back, then gentle push the lens sideways to free its stuck part. if the error still occurs and the lens is not retracting, consult the
warranty for the device as the lens assembly gears may be at fault.
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's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try:
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:
tryig to force it closed if sand is in it will do further damage. Can you gently extend the lens and jiggle it to see if any sand comes out. Most likely this fault needs repairing to open it up and remove the sand.
I'm assuming you have a lens error which is giving you the restart message. It is kind of misleading, but to restart the camera means to power cycle the camera or remove and reinsert the battery. If you do have a lens error, if restarting the camera doesn't work, you'll need to get the lens fixed if to remove the error.
