My Canon PowerShot A4000IS 16.0MP, 8x. Display tells me "Lens Errow"...Is there anything I can do to help my lens to open? They are closed, I can open by hand with the camera off. With the lens closed, the camera will not stay on. Please Help! I love...

Sorry I returned this camera as it started to make blurry pictures after a few weeks.

I don't know since my lens works fine, I have not had to send it in for repair. Sorry, I can't help you.

When you power on the camera and the selector is switched to camera or video, the lens cover opens. If the selector is on playback, the lens cover does not open. If the camera is already on and you are in camera or video mode and then change to playback, the lens cover closes. So, in short the selection of camera or video will open the lens either during operation or on power-up. The lens cover is closed with the selection of playback whether from power-up or during operation. Hope that helps

My adapter arrived dead on arrival. I am in the middle of a high-profile shoot and desperately need this so I have been manually operating the focus of the linens. With no aperture control I have to operate the lens wide open. I am now hearing that many others are having the same problem.

Honestly, I can't answer an Nikon questions. I have a Canon and haven't had a problem. There was a part that I had to place between the camera and the lens; if you do not have that (Nikon or Canon connector/adapter?), that may be what is causing you a problem.

I used this lens for one year until yesterday without any problems. Just yesterday I am experiencing the same issue: quite focus hunting when zoomed out at 70+ and when it stops it is not on focus! Any idea?

Haven't had that problem. The manual just says turn the camera off and check the connection. I'd worry that the lens electronics were damaged.

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.

Yeah the exact same thing happen to me. I hope the lens it's stuck to is not too expensive. Cause the way I chose to remove it was by forcefully twisting it off. If it's a cheap kit lens a little plastic piece will break off. But the lens will work just fine. It won't destroy it, just modify it a little.

Hey Ed, When I was shooting at my son's hockey game every now and again it would all the way out and the camera had to be restarted. This was specific to the lens I bought. I ended up buying a brand new one and dontregret dropping the extra cash at all.

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

I had a similar problem, but in my case, the lens would not open and extend. I looked at various websites about how to fix this type of problem (but on other cameras), but never got it to work. Unfortunately, it was just weeks after the warranty period, and because I really like the camera, I ended up buying another one, which -- so far -- has not misbehaved.

Thanks here too. Pulled on the lens. Worked first time, then got another error next on/off. Tried a few more times. So far so good now.

I believe it is a faulty lens. My brother has a t3i and has had no such issue. You should try the lense on another camera before returning though.

Have the same problem-seems my auto lens cap is NOT opening automatically. I have to tap it to open and tap it to close, losing the shot some of the time...
