Used camera three days ago, worked fine. Turned it on now and most of the screen is dark. Only a narrow (lop-sided) band at the top shows a distorted image with date and settings etc. Changed batteries. No difference. Was able to download the stored photos. Cannot take photos though the flash will go off and no sound of shutter.
SOURCE: no pictures recorded/black screen
it seems that shutter blades are stucked and are not working. when you say shutter is fully open i think you are talking about the lense cover, not the internal shutter assembly. the red light is the indication of OUT OF FOCUS SUBJECT OR FLASH NOT READY. if the shutter blades aare not open the camera would not be able to do the focusing and will flash the red light thus you would not get any image. contact the repairer.
SOURCE: Camera shuts off after hitting the shutter button
Your fix could be as simple as cleaning the camera's battery contacts, or it could be something more serious and expensive. Before you pay for expensive repairs that you may or may not need, check the Kodak Help Center by clicking on the link below. It uses a simple Q&A format to diagnose problems and propose solutions.
