what do I do? & what does it mean?

do I send it in?

how long will it take 'til I get my camera back??!?!?!

Answer 1

What type of camera is it?

If it is a DSLR, is the lens clicked into place correctly?

If it is a Compact, is there something preventing your lens from opening or fully retracting?

check that the batteries are fully charged for a compact, a lot of power is used just in start up.

For a DSLR check that the lens and program modes are matching, that is if your lens has the capability of locking or adjusting f-stops manually, like older Nikon's.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Did you drop it anywhere, because if you did, see if the lens is bent, cracked or fractured.  If it is you have to fix it.

Answer 3

Have you checked the battery?  Sometime when the Battrery is loww it give those kind of messages

Answer 4

Cool code .. but what camera and model number?  Tell us and someone should be able to help you.

I would suggest you call the camera companies help line and start from there

Answer 5

Have you looked in your camera manual?  Sometimes they list error codes and tell you what to do.

Oh yes, and knowing what model camera is helpful here too.
