In this video I disassemble a Canon PowerShot SX60 HS Camera, clean the telescoping lens and then reassemble it. If your lens is stuck, only do this as a last resort as it will void your warranty.

Great video! Thank you so much! I ended up replacing the seized motor and the camera works. For those who ask regarding the motor, I could not turn my new motor from the gear while it was inside the gear assembly, but when I removed the gear from the old one it was hard to turn the motor, which should turn freely.
Thank You! Great video. I couldn't fix dropped camera but i spend many great hours watching and learning how its done.
Thank you Jay! You are a great fellow. I watched your video as a manual for disassembling the SX-50. It really helped me
in replacing the lens. Continue in the same direction, you are doing very well this work.
Well done, you seems like a Canon technician to me (c: Thank you for showing what I have inside my sx60. I wonder if you are amaze of how well done are this things, and how much study in a lot of areas are needed to create and put all of this together. I think they deserve all the money they ask for it, well at least the money asked a few month after they are introduced to the market.
Keep doing this good job.
An amazing video! It gives me confidence to disassemble our family's old trusty SX60 to deal with the jammed lens symptoms you show at the start of the video.
Sir, this is the clearer instruction/demo I have ever seen. Very well done!
Great video, great details, i was able to repair my camera with this movie. Mant Thanks !! Oeps I bought already a new one. Now we have two.
I tried hard every step but didnot work
But u made graet effort man thnx alot
Excellent Video, Thanks very much. Followed your steps and repaired a camera that has been sitting in a box for years :-D was fun!!! :-D
Great video. I thought I had the same problem. I got as far as taking the shield off where it turns out, strangely enough, the ribbon cable and connector (shown around 12:28) were badly corroded for some reason. Cleaned them up with contact cleaner dabbed quite gently but several pins are missing from the cable.
No idea why just that one spot was affected, no other damage or sign of moisture could be found.
Thanks again for the video at least i was able to figure it out without spending a pile to fix it
Got it from a box lot at a surplus auction so not a big loss but still disappointing.
Great video! Very useful! Thanks!
I stripped my SX60 down after it began showing ‘Lens error’. The procedure went well and was enjoyable for itself but the problem didn’t go away. If you are still checking in on this, Jay: Should it be possible to rotate the two gears that are behind the lens barrel? I noticed that you hit them with compressed air but didn’t rotate them to clean all around. I tried to turn them with my finger but they wouldn’t budge which made me wonder if the there was something wrong there, e.g., a messed up motor.
I wonder the same..
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
You can also use a smaller sized resistor to drain the capacitor, it will take longer, and use the largest diameter resistor you have on hand. The start capacitor for my HVAC condenser unit has a small resistor between the leads so that it drains that capacitor slowly.
Could you demonstrate how to replace Date-time battery?
Thank YOu SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, thank you very much for your contribution. all very detailed and practical. Personally, I followed your instructions to the letter and managed to remove the error. However, I want to share with you a problem that I cannot solve, it is with the same camera. Although it works fine, that noise tells me that there is something wrong with the motors. Do you have any instructions to disassemble the motors and examine the pinions? I am attaching a video link so you can see what noise I mean. Thank you for your time. ///
Jay - I've been trying to find out how to replace the built-in battery that drives the date and clock on the Canon SX60HS. I didn't see that watch battery in your video - so I'm now wondering if the time and date is somehow driven by the flash capacitor?
Pretty nice video, thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea how repair the micro (or nano) USM (min 18:00) because in my camera it was very tight
Thanks very useful, though it did not fix my problem which is a loud clicking sound when zooming, refusal to zoom beyond 500mm and then the lens error message. I was shocked to see that the lens has large cracks in it. Surely this is not normal? I would like to show you a picture of the lens cracks
i had this problem and it went away,probably dirt,also sometimes lens error problems go away if you disconnect the battery for enough time,its like a computer reset.
A canon sx50hs tem algum tipo de fusível para nao deixar queimar a placa? Fui tentar fazer uma gambiarra para ligar minha câmera direto na energia e ela nao funciona mais, sera que queimou de vez?
thank you
Great video!, in my case, my so beloved SX60 HS was floating in its bag for about 20min on the surface of a beautiful mountain lake, until wind pushed it to the shore, it accidentally fell when trying to find a safe spot to sit. It was pouring crystal clear mountain water when picked up, was something more like fishing my camera out of the lake... yeah, it was that bad. At the moment, it is still buried in rice. Since it wasn't salty water, I keep hope. Will try to disassembly it in 5 days or so, clean with alcohol, re-assemble and hope it works. If it works, I have no idea of what to do if the lens is clogged/condensed. Wish me luck., and if anyone has additional tips, please share Thanks for the video
Any idea where the small lens that fell out of the lens assembly goes for a sx40HS camera ? , took it apart because of the lens error and out of focus screen.
God Bless you Jay
Hi Jay - thabks so much for your help. I need to replace the internal "memory" battery. Can you tell me what battery I need to buy to replace it? SX60 HS.
BTW - do you have the service manual for this camera? I haven't been able to find a way to source it.
I'm not sure that there is a removable battery. I think these use a capacitor to keep time/date. The capacitor holds a charge for about three weeks if the main battery is out. The capacitor is re-charged from the main battery. If the capacitor becomes completely depleted, it takes about four hours to re-charge it. If it isn't charging, plug in the USB cable (open the accessory cover on the side) and try to charge it that way.
I have searched but have never found a service manual
Very good video. Thank You!
Hola, excelente video... ya se que el video se sentra en el lente, pero no pude ver si en alguna parte lleva una bateria (tipo CR2032) para manteler la fecha y la hora... alguien sabe si la trae y donde??? cada vez que la dejo unos minutos sin la bateria (mientras la cargo) me pide al encenderla que ponga fecha y hora. antes no pasaba... gracias
HI, the viewfinder of my sx60 dont work anymore. any suggestions?
Excelente vídeo
I want to see the servicing of SX540HS
