So I guess the moral is, don't ask your girlfriend about her own camera? lol. But then again I'm the one trying to troubleshoot the problem for her and be a forum slug. This camera really belongs to my girlfriend I asked her if it had a video mode and she said no. So apparently this camera does have a video mode. I checked the back of my camera and there is that little picture symbol of the back of the camera LCD. Everything is worth a shot at this point. But the lense wouldn't cause this problem would it? idk. The only thing I didn't try would be to use a different lense. But it pretty much would just be a video of everything I just explained. But the one I just took, that made the camera lock-up was not recorded. ![]() It can still read the other card and show me my photos. I have the pull the batt and it does come back on. But whichever mode I switch to (most the time I'm in 'flash off' mode and using manual focus) sports, portrait, landscape, closeup, the minute I take that photo the camera dies. It turns on, and I can check the files/photos on the card. It behaves the same way with the other memory card. I've switched it out with another one I have, to test out. I thought it was the memort card at first as well. I don't think this camera has a video mode. But uhh, does anyone have an ideas as to why this is happening? or how to fix this? I really wanna take pictures and it defintely sucks not being able to. If I left anything out please ask me and I'll be glad to try and fill in any holes. I've tried to include all the relevant information. How weird is that? I don't have very much experience with cameras but this is what has happened to me. So I have to pull the battery and that wakes the camera up. Even flipping the on/off switch to the 'off' position and then back the 'on' position has absolutely no effect. The camera fires, the screen blacks out, the red LED is solid, none of the buttons are responsive. So If I go back and try to take a photo the cycle starts again. All my old photos I took BEFORE this weird circumstance are still saved. If I check to see if that photo I just tried to take was recorded, it never is. ![]() And all the menus and settings are accessible. So I pull the batt and put it back in and the camera comes back on. So I suppose it is 'on' but it's in the dead state I just previously described. If I open the battery lid, the camera beeps I guess to warn me that I'm about to pull the battery while it's on. There is no way I've found to get the camera out of this 'dead-mode' except for doing a battery pull. And the little red LED comes on and is solid. I've tried this in landscape, portrait, no flash, with flash, autofocus on, manual focus on, etc) the same fires, but then instantly locks up. Ok, whenever I take a photo (and seems as if it doesn't matter what mode. I hope maybe somebody had a similar experience, and figured it out. a few days ago something really weird happened. Hey guys! This is my first post so let me start off by saying, greetings! But now to the meat.
