I dropped my Kodak EasyShare C140 today and now I have a lens error 1111. What do I do to fix it?

The C140 works with SD and SDHC cards, up to 32GB in size. By swapping memory cards, you have essentially unlimited memory capacity.

You may use any brand SD/SDHC cards, though personally I would stick with the major brands.

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 ... Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

In my experience when there is a 'lens error' there is internal damage perhaps from dropping the unit and it is fixable only by the Kodak.com website's authorized service center.

You may get lucky if you keep on turning the camera on and off to move the lens. If not getting better, you need service.

its a problem with your lens cover shutter on the upper face of the lens. Get it repaired in some Kodak service center.

take it to a shop and get a new lens
