How To Remove A Stuck Lens From A Canon Camera

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

If you have invested good money in a heavy-duty Canon camera, you probably imagined that you will be able to avoid any serious problems with it - but while this is true most of the time, one problem that a lot of people have with their Canon cameras (that is, that they have with the lenses that go on their Canon cameras!) is that the lenses sometimes will get stuck, and will be impossible to remove.

The fact that a screw will sometimes come loose on the lens itself is the main thing that causes people to have this problem, as this screw will prevent the lens from turning far enough to be removed from the body of the camera; if there is no give when you try to twist the lens past the stopping point, this is likely the case, and you can try to solve this problem by turning the camera at different angles and applying pressure to different places to get the screw back in place.

On the other hand, if you try to twist the lens beyond the point where it has stopped and there is some give, the plastic backing on the lens itself has probably come loose and is blocking you from turning the lens further; if this is the case, you will want to force the lens, which will snap off this plastic piece - and while this will put the lens itself at risk, you will be able to remove the lens at last, and will prevent any damage to the body itself.

And if you have tried these two things, and neither of them have worked, you may be out of luck, and may have to ship the camera off the Canon for them to have a look themselves. Because this is a problem that Canon cameras and lenses sometimes have, Canon will typically be able to solve the problem without much trouble - and as long as your camera and/or lens are less than a year old, they will be under warranty from Canon, which means it will not be a whole lot of trouble for you either!
