My camera won't regognise my
With no card in the camera, go into the menu and find "format"...follow the on-screen instructions to erase the internal memory. Then, your card should work properly.
My camera seems to short out and there are horizontal lines in the pictures.
get new batteries, if recharging your current batteries does not work (to stop it shorting out).
reduce your shutter exposure, by changing to Manual Mode (M), selecting +/-, and then the left button (flash) around the Menu OK button. Mine works fine at 1s shutter speed, but was showing horizontal lines before that ...
My Lens will only close half way.
Hi Natalie:
Lens stuck, is common defective that need new lens unit replacement or just repairable.
Causes
of a Lens Error: There are a number of ways with which a lens error can
be caused. Particulates might have managed to get into the mechanical
bits that allow the lens to retract, a purely physical interference with
the lens mechanism. If the camera was dropped, especially while the
lens was extended, there's a pretty good chance something might have
been knocked loose, such as the guide pins upon which the lens withdraws
and retracts.How to Repair a Lens Error: As scary as a lens
error might seem, there are some easy fixes. Before trying any of them
out, however, first take a good long look at your camera warranty and
maybe have a chat with the company. If the lens error will be covered
under the terms of the warranty, go for it. Even some of the simple
fixes mentioned below might void the camera warranty. Frankly, however,
it's unlikely that a lens error will qualify for the warranty.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate
your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about
this answer.Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.
