There is an electronic light sensor in a camera; this sensor has what is called a "shutter" in front of it. When the shutter opens, the lens is responsible for focusing the outer light onto the sensor. Now if the lens is broken it will not be focusing the light, so the picture will be fuzzy beyond recognizing. I think it is worthy to mention that there are no lens cameras. They have a pinhole (or just a very small hole) which because of its smallness focuses the light.

Why does my Canon camera display a lens error and shutdown automatically?

Your Canon camera may display a lens error and shutdown automatically due to a mechanical issue with the lens, such as being stuck or misaligned.

It is recommended to try gently tapping or rotating the lens to see if it can realign, or to seek professional repair if the issue persists.


Why does your camera say lens error and how can you fix it?

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ... Also you can try twisting the camera lens clockwise gently and it will go down. Do not push it down or else you will break it. Then try turning it on. It might work. There are several things that you can do to try to correct it. These home fixes seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors. If the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.
