If the camera is still under warranty you should have it fixed. My old camera had the same problem when I dropped it. I just pressed down on the ring surrounding the lens until it snapped into place and it started working again. Make sure you use a fully recharged battery before turning the camera back on because the gears may need to snap back in place.

Sorry I do not. As much as I dislike this camera, that is one problem I've not had - even after dropping it in the snow twice.

I had the same problem with another model (Powershot A620). Tried to fix it myself but couldn´t. Send it better to a repair shop. Openning will only damage it more. Sorry.

I had the same issue with a different model. I forced it open slightly manually once and it was ok. I know it sounds crude. But it worked in the past.

You have to take the camera out of Automatic mode. You can only use the lens in manual mode.

If your battery is good and charged, and the power is on, and the lens still does not open, you can contact your seller (as long as the warranty is still valid) to request assistance with the warranty service. The Nikon point and shoot cameras are fairly straight forward and should work as you would expect.

No !As I said in my comment about the camera, the lens stopped working ... then, after a couple of tries to turn it off and on again with a full loaded battery, it just stopped to work ... no more screen, nothing, dead !

I threw away the camera 4 or 5 years ago after one year use. The camera could not be turned on to take photos. It will cost me more to repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

I second guessed myself as well in the beginning. The lens has a pretty long manual throw. i.e. it takes some big turns to get things into focus manually. Keep trying and it should eventually get things into focus.

I just received mine back from repair, I don't even have a camera app anymore, tried to download one and it still wont work.

Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

There's a power switch around the shutter button. Turn it on and it should work.

Dr. Smith thank you for the response, yes that helped, but I do have it set on 'M' and it still does the error 'FEE' so I am out of options. I cleaned all the sensors and made sure to listen to the 'click' when lens locks. I'm really unsure what is the problem now. Does this mean that I can only use the f/22 with this lens? Thank you so much! I appreciate your help.

I turned that on with my sony a7 as well, but I can't get it to work. I removed the battery film. what should I do now...

Did you try cleaning the lens. Try a Q-Tip and some alcohol. See it that works.

Look to check that its not in playback mode. The lense closes automatically while in playback mode.

Just open the transparent done cover and gently turn the black lens hood. One of my cameras was fixed did way. However don't force it if it does turn freely as you may damage the camera. Loosen the small screw first. Good luck

Hello, the lens is manual, works manually only. Please put your camera into "no lens attached" mode and continue to shoot manually on in Aperture priority mode. Thank you.

Try taking out the battery..I have had that happen before with my other Kodak cameras, but it was only temporary..I just fiddled with it until it worked. Some times the lens gets stuck...hopefully you won't have to get a new one.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.
