The camera lens is jammed. Not too bad. I can get it fully open 20% of the time. The rest it’s nearly impossible. BTW it’s a Canon. I can’t remember the make. If it’s important, you can email me.
It’s broken.
My little niece found my digital camera and put her greasy little fingers all over including the lens….! You can see her little finger print.
STOP! DO NOT use regular glass cleaner, it can damage the anti-reflective coating on your lens!
Get a lens cleaning kit from most any camera store, electronics store, or even some drugstores with photo services. Eyeglass cleaner, if specifically designated for glasses with antireflective coatings, can also work, but DO NOT use Windex or other ordinary glass cleaners!
Hiya, I have a samsung omnia, and theres a front lens and a back lens, and when I go to the camera feature – it automatically views with the back lens, and I have no idea how to switch the front lens on?
The fronst lens is only switched on when someone video calls you, you can switch it on
I have a Canon EOS Rebel X SLR film camera. I think it is a great camera and I am looking into purchasing a new lens(s) for it but I don’t have a clue where to start.The lens that came with it is 35-80mm. I would like to get a really good all around lens (if there is one out there). It would be for taking portraits and things outdoors. Not looking to become a pro photographer but would still like to be able to take awesome pics of wildlife, landscapes, and of the nieces and nephews at ball games and other family gatherings. Thanks for all the help!
For film, a 35-80mm covers what is conventionally known as the normal range, ie it doesn’t cover wide-angle (less than 35mm) or telephoto (over 85mm). For portraits and most outdoors work, you will want to extend your coverage into the telephoto range. Typical zoom ranges here are 70-150mm or 70-200mm. This will probably work for sporting events where you can get reasonably close to the action and are not stuck in seating well back from the sidelines.
Wide angle lens are great for interiors, landscapes with prominent objects in the foreground, and candid family shots where you are close to the subjects. You might find the 35mm end of your zoom is not quite short enough. Options include a prime (single focal length) lens around 20-28mm, or a wide-angle zoom.
You can buy a single lens solution like a 28-200mm lens. This would, in theory, replace your current lens completely. But they are bulky. For my Nikon, this lens weighs nearly twice the 28-80mm zoom, and I have kept the smaller lens because it is easier to carry and use in many circumstances. It is also easier for my 9yo grand-daughter to use when she is with me – the heavier lens would be much harder for her to manage.
As a film user, the advice to avoid the lens made specifically for digital is sound. Digital sensors are much smaller than the film image size, and these lens don’t have to be perfect over the larger area that you need.

I have a canon rebel sxi and currenlty only have the standard lens that came with the camera. I am trying to get into some outdoor portrait photography. (currently practicing on anyone who is willing to let me). Is there a certain type/brand of lens that is better for outdoor portrait?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am new to the whole photography thing…
The lens you have is just about perfect for shooting outdoor portraits.
Have you tried using it? If you shoot in the shade, you will avoid a lot of problems associated around shooting people outdoors during the day.
You could buy a good Canon 50 mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 lens, but until you have your portrait shooting skills down, you may want to spend some money on more memory cards or even a 5 in 1, 42 inch reflector kit
If I have a 18-200mm 4-5.6 digital camera lens is there any need to get a 50mm lens? 50mm 2.8?
Would I just be wasting money or is the 50mm totally different and gives extremely better quality of peoples faces?
Im using a nikon d80
there are several reasons you might want a 50 mm prime.
1. It’s a great portrait range for a digital SLR with a 1.5 or 1.6 magnification factor.
2. Prime lenses are usually sharper, simply because there are fewer moving parts.
3. (and this one might be the most important!) By using one lens such as the 50 mm, you will begin to appreciate the finer points about field of view, perspective, depth of focus, and composition in ways that are nearly impossible if the only lens you’ve ever used is a zoom.
Why? Because when you have to walk to get closer or farther away, you tend to think more about those critical factors. And, as a result, you just mght become a better photographer.
Remember, zoom lenses are a relatively new phenomenon.And until very recently, many professionals wouldn’t be caught dead using one.
I was a photographer for 25 years before I got my first zoom.
So, if you’re serious about developing your skills as a photographer, sure, getting and learning to use a 50 mm prime might be very useful.
Caveat: there does, however, seem to be a cult developing over this question – People who have become 50 mm fanatics, if you will. That’s not good either.
Truth is, it can simply be fun and educational to try something different, and expand your arsenal of tools.
I have a canon sure shot 150u camera that has been working fine (clear lens, nice pictures, good focus) I left it in my car for the past two days in the glove compartment and now the lens is foggy and I cant see unless I zoom all the way. It has been humid and I’m wondering if there could be moisture in it. I’ve tried using a q tip and cleaning all of the lens and eye parts but it didnt work. What can I do to fix it? Any suggestions, solutions Please. Thank you in advance
One more excellent example of why you should always read the Owner’s Manual. I’ll bet a dollar to a donut that it warns in the Manual against storing the camera in those conditions.
I read that warning 36 years ago when I bought my first SLR, a Minolta SRT-100. And that was a completely manual camera with the meter the only battery-dependent component.
Try placing the camera in a sealed plastic bag with several packages of desiccant and maybe that will dry it out. Its likely you’ve done sufficient abuse to your camera for it to need a trip to the service center. Repairs will be at your expense of course since you abused it.
