I have many Canon's, and NEVER use a case for this very reason.Ī camera owner that suffers this problem may have no recourse for having the camera repaired. Once these materials work their way into the lens mechanism, that's all she wrote. These materials love to cling to the camera by electrostatic build-up from the camera rubbing against the side of the case (especially those cases with soft fibrous intreriors). Believe it or not, one BIG contributor to lens errors is using a camera case. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. The problem is actually quite common throughout all camera brands. Some cameras might show nothing at all, but merely make a beeping noise as the lens goes out, then in, then the camera shuts off. Some common error messages that might show up on the LCD's of cameras with this problem include “E18 lens error”, or “lens error, restart camera”. This has to be THE most common failure mode for a digital camera. Suggested ways to remove the error (use extreme caution and beware you can mess up your camera with some of these methods) : You are now in the hidden information screens: RIGHT = screen 2, DOWN = screen 3, LEFT = screen 4. Press in sequence UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SHUTTER and UP for screen 1.Ĩ. You will see on the LCD 'OLYMPUS' followed by the designation of your camera (eg E-P1).ħ. Enter the brightness screen (shows twin adjusters) by pressing RIGHT and then press INFO and OK sequentially.Ħ. Press DOWN until you are at the LCD brightness screen (line 3).ĥ. In the menu go to SPANNER (line 5) and press RIGHT.Ĥ.

When the LCD lights release the MENU button and immediately press it again, once.ģ. Press MENU button while switching on the cameraĢ. The hidden menu can be found using the following method:ġ.

I managed to get rid of the error on one of the cameras (by repeatedly zooming in and out with the lens facing up/down) but it returned and I couldn't get it to disappear a second time.ĥf0a error code on the hidden menu page 4 Olympus told me to return any with the error, which I did and I have wound up with one that has no errors and is minty Which means the lens motor is out of sync, I do not know further details ie zoom/focus? etc.Ĭlearly all these cameras seemed to work OK, so I am presuming they can handle being a single tooth out, but does it matter? I just purchased 4 used XZ-1's all were low shutter activations (under around 3500)ĭoes your camera display this message? (I think it's a 'damage code')
