Lens water damage
Our take
Water damage can pose a significant challenge for camera lenses, as even a brief exposure can lead to issues. In your case, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens initially functioned after drying out, but recurring errors suggest potential internal damage or moisture retention. Since your other lenses work well with the camera, the problem likely lies within the affected lens itself.
I have a canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II lens that got dipped partially in water a while back on a trip. It brought up an error when I attempted to use it as I didn't realize right away it got water on it. However after wiping it off and letting it dry for a bit it started working again and I was able to use it for a few days. After the trip I let it sit and I hadn't touched it for a while and now when I attempt to use it, it throws the same error (connection between camera and lens is faulty...) where it's not detecting the lens. Is this something that can be fixed? Every other lens works fine so it's not an issue with the camera.
