I'm also experiencing this error message, however...

• the camera turns on,

• the lens extends outwards,

• the lens contracts inwards,

• the camera turns off...

I did notice the superficial disfigurement that is on the outer shell of the lens, but this shouldn't cause this error as on occasions, the camera turns on, the lens extends outwards, and I can snap a few pictures, unless I aim the camera in any direction other than straight ahead - if not straight ahead, the lens contracts inwards & camera turns off.

Try pointing the camera at the ground. This works for me EVERY time. Gravity is a ##&&%.

Soluzione Prescelta

You are experiencing a common error. Normally this is a problem with the lens extension mechanism that is activated when the camera starts. This can normally be attributed to a dirty camera case or other grit getting into the camera mechanism. Other possible sources are physical jarring during operation or low battery during operation. The fist thing you should do is remove the existing batteries and the memory card from the camera, wait one minute and then put the batteries and the memory card back again into their compartment. Next, turn the camera on. Another possible solution is to blow compressed air around the lens mechanism, or a hair dryer on a no heat setting. Also, you can slide a piece of paper around the lens area and move it around the gaps in an effort to dislodge anything stuck in there.

Laying the camera flat on its back (lens up) and tapping it gently on a tabletop during startup caused the lens to finally open up.

My 3 year old dropped my Canon SX 280 HS camera (hope this is relevant) with the lens extended. After about half an hour trying must of the suggestions on this page I reached a new level of frustration. I tried swishing a piece of the paper round the gaps. A tiny piece of paper broke off and stuck inside. To solve this particular issue, I effectively bent the extended lens to create a gap so the paper would fall off, dangerous I know. Then I heard the click that made me think it was finally ready for the bin but hey presto it started working again!

I had the same problem with my Powershot SX120.

I found that the spring for the batteries had gone a bit down. Fixed that and problem seems to be solved.

Do:

Clean the Lens and if something is obstructing the lens movement, remove that to fix EOS error.

My daughter had this problem with her Canon SX20-IS. Her lens was stuck at full extension. I tried all of the fixes and nothing worked.

She accidentally left it in her car overnight, where it got below freezing. The next day, it started working!

It might sound crazy, but if all else fails, try sticking it in the freezer for a couple hours. Not sure if this could possibly damage camera or not.
