What does lens error 14 mean. Screen goes black

Try these procedures.

Generally an error like what you are describing means that as the camera is trying to put out the lens, there was an obstruction (if the outside is in good shape then it is internal) and pulls it back in before damaging it further. If you have a local camera store, you can take it there to be looked at, or call the manufacturer to see if it is still under warranty for maintenance.

Hi,

The black screen problem means the lens sensor is spoiled due to over exposure to heat. Its better to give it to cannon service centre. If your camera is under warranty period its well and good they will replace the lens sensor for free of cost.


Thank you

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 ...

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try:
