"Lens error" on basic Nikon coolpix S200
« on: May 11, 2008, 20:26:36 PM »

Nothing amazing here, just a basic £90 Nikon digital camera. The message "Lens error" now appears on the screen and the lens wont go back into the camera. Checked out the Nikon site and it says to turn it on then off again or fit a fully charged battery, neither of these solutions worked.

The cameras still in the warrenty/guarentee period so i could just send it off but is there anything simple that could resolve this quickly and potentially save me alot of hassle.

Thanks

Sure you haven't knocked/dropped the camera (especially on the lens) as this would cause this problem.

I've no idea what happened as the camera wasn't in my hands at the time. Regardless of that is there any quick fix solution or is literally just send it off to Nikon for them to repair under warranty?

Thanks

Depends what happened but if the camera isn't focussing right either its bound to have been dropped and in which case it won't be replaced under warranty.

depends where you bought it from.

my lens(albeit on an SLR) f**ked up, just wouldn't zoom.
no questions asked i got it sent back to nikon and repaired free of charge.
I bought mine from jessops and it came with a normal warranty, for once i am very glad i bought it from a highstreet shop rather than the internet.

I bought it off an Amazon seller so its going to be doing all the leg work and sending it off to Nikon i reckon...for an extra few quid its well worth just walking into a shop and speaking directly to someone. What an idiot Sad

I'll just return it and see what the result is as i've really no other options.

Thanks guys

If you decide to go through Jessops next time, buy their extended warranty. Mine has been brilliant for the price Ive paid. So far Ive had two lenses replaced due to accidental damage and because it covers it they usually just replace it as its cheaper/easier for them. More than made my money back.
