Check your camera for the following. Remove the SD card and leave the dial on "P". Turn it on, and press "Menu". Go to the camera icon in the top left, and do:
Digital zoom: off
AF- point zoom: off
Servo AF: off
Af-assist beam: off
MF-point zoom: off
Safety MF: off
Enter flash settings, turn all off
Wind filter: off
Review: off
Blink detection: off
Enter IS settings, turn all off.
And then save the settings. In KAP UAV select "MF" in "Focus @ infinity". At least this has worked just fine for my Canon S100.

Am I shooting in "auto" after all that?
Eric Coronel > Jimmy OliverMarch 31, 2015 at 8:46pm
"Auto" in the dial near the shutter?

Just the modes on top right. I'm beginning to think this camera is bunk. (bad lens)

Updated S100 latest firmware now I have the famous "Lens error" - will not retract or function.
You updated with a Canon firmware update? From the official Canon web site? (Don't forget that CHDK is not "firmware" and makes no permanent changes to the Canon firmware installed in your camera).
As far as the famous E18 Lens Errror, this is my favorite "how to" site for dealing with that :

Walter,
I have 3.2, tried your link, but Box wouldn't give me access. I do have a box.com account (free level).
Sorry - don't know what happened there. The permanent link (for whatever is the latest version of the script) is : https://app.box.com/s/a5tbl1xasp8m3a57fclx
The link still works. Or you could start here KAP UAV Exposure Control Script
