Did u try hard resetting?

  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2008

    if the lens does not come out then mostly u may have dropped the camera,.

    else camera was switched on my mistake when it was inside the pocket or pouch.

    and more over if hard reset does not work then there is not much u can do correcting this.

    only canon authorized service center can help u correcting it.

    because this is a lens section assemble mistake.


  • Anonymous Jun 14, 2008

    and if the lens assembly section has been damaged it will cost u nearly 100 to 200$ to replace it.

    but take it to canon authorized service center alone.

    dont get it done by any local tech and u also dont try it.

    since digital camera is a very delicate item u may end up in greater damages if u try doing it with out any prior good experience in digital cameras.

    thank you

    dont forget to accept the solution if u go by it.

    have a good day.

    good luck

Lens is stuck about 97% open. The camera will not

The lens has probably got something in the retraction mechanism that is stopping it retracting. This can be something as simple as sand or grit or as a result of a drop or knock. In most cases the camera will need to be stripped apart to remove the lens assy before it can be repaired. This is best left to a professional camera repair shop.

Describe hi, i have a canon powershot a520 that was left in someone's purse when she gave it back to me the lens is now sticking half way out and when i push the power button it blinks on for a split...

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.

Lens cover won't open when Canon Powershot A520 Camera turned on

I have two Canon Power shots---the A610, and the A630. The lens cover is starting to hang on my 630 when the lens retracts.

If the lens is extended, take your fingertip and try to move the cover a bit to see if it springs open. If not, then the mechanism within the lens needs to be replaced.

Canon makes a great camera, and I would tell you to try to have it fixed if it costs less than 75 dollars. At 75-100 dollars it's a toss-up. More than a 100 dollars---it's your call.

I have an A520 Powershot..I dropped it and jammed the lens..now the lens won't retrack back in.

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:

Replacement parts for canon powershot a520????

I have a "broken" A520 that needs a new LCD. I really don't want to spend another $90 to get it fixed so may be willing to sell it for parts. Let me know. I don't know about any guide for disassembly however.

Partially closed lens when powering on Canon A520 Camera

This is a fault that Canon should know about- it may mean a replacement camera- therefore Canon Technical Support should be consulted.
