Many people have experienced 'Lens Error.' This error found is in the documentation of the coolpix cameras. The error message is an alert indicating fault with the lens has occurred. It can occur from the camera being turned on in a purse or pocket, dropping the camera, other physical damage such as pressure and other forms of impact. Sand and other foreign object debris stuck in the lens is quite common to also cause the error. In rare cases the error is a result of a manufacturing defect. Trying to 're-align' the camera lens yourself can further damage the camera.

[edit] Cameras with undocumented raw image format

Some Nikon Coolpix cameras which are not advertised as supporting a RAW format can actually produce usable raw files if switched to a maintenance mode.[1] Note that switching to this mode can invalidate a camera's guarantee. Nikon models with this capability:

E700, E800, E880, E900, E950, E990, E995, E2100, E2500, E3700, E4300, E4500.
