Answer
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 ...

Unfortunately, many cameras that fall prey to this can only be corrected by professional repair. But, here are some things that you can do that may correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH Lens Error?

Rae

I was looking at my brothers camera and i by accident dropped it and the lens is crooked and it wont go back in.
He needs his camera by tommorow and he will freak if he finds out. I have taken out the battery and it still doesnt work. Please help. He will kill me.

Answer
Canon ELPH cameras are tender as are most digital cameras. I think no matter what you try do to repair it, it will never work. Go to a big box store and buy Bro another camera.

Good luck!
