topic PowerShot ELPH 130 IS &quot;Lens Error&quot; after drop in Point & Shoot Digital Cameras https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-ELPH-130-IS-quot-Lens-Error-quot-after-drop/m-p/565569#M20517 <P>Hi everyone. I have a canon ELPH POWERSHOT 130 that I have owned for over 15 years. It’s fantastic and I love it but I recently dropped it and now everytime I try to turn it on it just says “<SPAN>Lens Error</SPAN><SPAN>Will shut down automatically&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>Restart camera”. I am not sure how to restart without being able to get to any menu on the screen. Also to note, the lens continues to open and close seeming to try to focus but then it will just go back and there will be a continuous clicking noise for a few seconds. If you guys have any tips I would really appreciate it!&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Tue, 26 Aug 2025 18:50:11 GMT dr131 2025-08-26T18:50:11Z PowerShot ELPH 130 IS "Lens Error" after drop https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/PowerShot-ELPH-130-IS-quot-Lens-Error-quot-after-drop/m-p/565569#M20517 <P>Hi everyone.
