Try this everyone if you have this problem ! Turn the camera on its side the bang it hard on a table. I just tried this as a last resort and its working fine now. I kept getting error on my screen before. Hope this helps someone.
yo guys, i dropped water on my camera, its turns on as always but the problemn that when i want to shoot a video or take a picture, it just black, and sometimes like a blue scarmbled channel, my camera is a sony cyborg, they say its water proof....
I had the problem today and I went to best buy, and they said I needed to send it out for a replacement.
And so I came home and my dad adjusted the lens and specifically I mean touched the bottom, top, right side, or left side.. any.. and gently pressure the opposite side.
i accidently sat on my lens so now when i turn it on it goes in out in out zoom in zoom out then the screen says lens error gosh it was a nikon coolpix im pissed
Same problem after 2 years of excellent use but now is worthless ... I was epecting more from a Canon! I have Googled this problem and it is very, very common! Seems like a Canon problem for sure!
Canon Belgium won't help me and refers to their (external )repair center abroad. One of them doesn"t reply on my request for a repair price, and the other one says that I'll have to send it in first (would cost > 50€, even if repair would cost more than a new one).
When I complained about this, my e-mail was answered by yet another external company in yet another country.
Sorry Canon, but if this is your "customer service", I'll take my business elsewhere!

how long have you had yours?
did you bump,bang or drop it,maybe? or it could just be you got a faulty one from the start.
i got one a couple of years ago and use it constantly.never had a problem with it.
i had my ixus55 even longer and that's still in great working order too.
mike20021969 3 years ago
yea, exactly! Me too, same problem and canon is aware of this and continues to sell these crappy, expensive "cameras"
