When you turn on your casio exilim and get a lens error. All you have to do is just turn it off and then back on.The camera does say lens error sometimes but it goes away just by turning the camera off and on. or if not you have to gentle apply pressure as the lens extends (you hear a small pop) and then it's right as rain for a bit. but this lens error happens frequently not only you have experienced this, most of casio cam user have this kind of problem and most of them just give up but not everyone...

Good luck!

You can try and go there and do a firmware. Unfortunately you can turn on the cameras very easily while in your pocket etc. You will need to have it serviced if the firmware upgrade doesn't work.
Keep me posted,

Try gently pulling out lens with your fingernail when you star up the camera

  • Ginko
    Ginko Jun 23, 2008

    When this happens it means the lens gear has a problem, often it is caused by dust stuck in the lens gear.
    Try first removing battery for one minute to reset the camera, this solution rarely works, but it is worth trying.
    Try then helping the lens to pull out to full extension using your finger nail.
    Try gently tapping the camera at the back with the palm of your hand while lens are extending.
    Blow some canned air on lens gear and shutter.

    If all the above did not work, then you need to disassemble the lens gear and assemble it back, as something is out of place inside there.

Won't turn on light flashes green then flashes red then nothing else

This usually means weak batteries, the other possibility is the lens mechanism is faulty or stuck. These cameras will shut down if the lens cannot extend or retract. Sometimes you can coax the lens out with a little help by pulling gently on the lens with your fingers if it starts to come out, don't force it. If you have dropped the camera with the lens out, this can damage the mechanism to either work intermittently or not at all.

Lens won't retract

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.

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for about 50% of lens errors, but they're worth a try:

Problem with i531

I had a Polaroid i531 that would beep 3 times then shut down & the lens wouldn't retract.

I fixed it like this:
  1. Inspect the lens from all angles and you'll see that the lens assembly is out of sync. (My was looking upward ever so slightly)
  2. Using gentle finger pressure, press in the opposite direction of the abnormal lens direction
  3. I heard a snap, then I powered the camera on.
  4. Camera now works.

Lens retracts when turned on

Defective mechanism, a stucked mechanism is present. camcorder are smart it can detects error and shuts down itself for safety. earlier models dominoes the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
