Is it Error E18? This is the most common lens error with Canon cameras, and this is what Canon's website advises to do. And when they say apply pressure, that is VERY LITTLE pressure.

Have you had the camera less than 1 year? If so, call Canon immediately for a free service repair.

If it is an e18 error - try this website www.e18error.com. It is pretty helpful.

I have also read up on e16 error and it appears to be an error that Canon is very reticent to repair under warranty, believing it to be caused by neglect or dropping the camera. It appears to me that this may be a design defect that Canon is trying to avoid issuing a service advisory over.

Well, if you purchased it with a credit card, contact them and ask if they can get involved in helping you to return a defective electronics item. Additionally, if the camera's warranty is expired, you may have extended warranty time as a perk of the credit card you used. Ask them about that as well. Then, contact CANON about an RMA return for a defective
product. Tell them what you've told us and request a replacement unit.

Not sure if that will work, but perhaps if your credit card company gets involved, something will happen.

My camera says E16 too after I turn it on. It's not a SD800 though. It's a Canon Powershot a560. Any help?

The E16 error is a motherboard issue. Needs to be sent back to Canon
