Steps toRepair a Digital Camera Lens

Move the slide switch on the side of the card.

The non functioning of the camera can be a fault in the shutter, zoom or auto focus sections and may be due to the failure of the Main control system or the drive. A simple was is to reset and we can try by removing the battery and card for some time. Now replace only the battery and while switching power ON, tap the lens hood on the palm of your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. Unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must the camera be opened. If so check the voltage on the motor drive, check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and released. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.
Get estimate before you decide. It will be good to have it checked at the authorised service as you do not have to run around for spares.

After two months without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

Hello

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.

Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.

Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.

Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.

Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).

Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.

Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.

Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.

Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair centre for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.

If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you found this helpful.

The lens error is due to failure of the lens control system. You can remove battery and card replace battery and while switching on tap the lens hood on your hands so as to disengage any dirt or mechanism being struck.
Use some air to blow between the lens to dislodge any sand particles struck inside. Unless you are familiar with handling of small devices must the camera be opened. If so check the voltage on the motor drive, check the auto focus and Zoom drives, it must be free with manual movement. If jammed the motor can be removed and realased. If none of these works then you can think of taking consensus with the service centre.

SD cards only go up to 2GB. According to the camera manual, you may use SDHC cards, with operation guaranteed with cards up to 4GB.

This sounds like a problem with the shutter mechanism. Contact a Samsung authorized service center for repairs.

Please recheck on the work that was done earlier as the mechanism could be jammed and not reponding to shut down. SInce the lens was taken out and reset if the auto focus/zoom mechanism was struck or jammed this can cause the camera to shut down.

Consider NOT connecting your camera to your computer.

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program, such as Picasa ( http://picasa.google.com ).

Welcome to Fixya

You can transfer the pictures inside the camera by unplugging the memory card. Plug in the memory card to a card reader or a computer that has memory card slot reader. Once you plugged in the memory card to the computer, it will act as a harddrive. Access that drive and all you need to do is to copy all the pictures and paste it to your computer.

Shut the camera power off, and remove the memory card.

Observe the label side of the card and find a small plastic tab on the left edge of the card. Slide the tab forward (towards the connector end) into the "Unlocked" position.

*Carefully* reinsert the card into the camera - taking extra care to slide it straight in - so that the tab is not bumped back to the "Locked" position.

Power up and and take pictures.

If it doesn't work - it is possible that the tab got moved during the reinsertion process. Remove the card again, and place a *small* amount of scotch tape over the tab to keep it from moving, and try again.

Good luck!

Please make sure the memory and settings

it may be possible to recover those images by using this free program I have used it on a CF card with over 100 images - that suddenly did not appear - and I recovered 99 of them http://www.z-a-recovery.com/demo-ir.htm
