How do I restart Powershot Sd1300 camera?

[Parman9]

I have had my camera for little over two years and this is first issue I have had with it. When I turned on the power i get a beep then the folowinbg error message "Lens Error Will shut down automatically Restart camera"  I have gone through the manuel and can not find anythinbg with regard to Restart camera. What can I do?

Try removing the batteries from the camera and letting the camera sit without batteries for a few minutes.  Then, install fresh batteries and power the camera on.  If you still receive the same error message, the camera is going to require service.

To start your repair process, you'll need to complete a Repair Request on our website.

my 8 yr old son actually was looking at mine trying to figure out how to turn it on and help down the power button and the shutter button and it slowly retracted a little so i did it a few more times and now it works perfectly
