Re: Canon SX30 IS rapid fire problem!

Google turned up this interesting iFixit site, with a lens error technique for massaging a lens back into position - indicates there should be an onscreen error message so not sure if it applies to your unit.

https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Canon_Powershot_SX30_IS_Troubleshooting

"If the lens has been knocked out of its original position, your camera will display the lens error message. There are little grooves on the inside of the casing that the lens sits in, however if the camera sustains impact, the lens could get hit out of place. If your lens appears to be slightly out of place, first remove the battery and SD card. Lay the camera on a hard surface with the lens facing towards the ceiling. Very gently press the lens down with your thumbs until you hear a click. This means that you have gotten the lens back into its grooves. Insert the battery and SD card and try again. If this does not solve the lens error message, the lens must be replaced."

Good luck.
