- wenn ich meine camera öffene kommt camera stabilisator nicht verfügbar...was kann ich tun???- GuestJan 19, 2009
- Thank you so much for the download idea...i called tech support at a Casio and they said it would not work to download a new version and they refused to connect me to someone who could help walk me through the download process...called repairs and they said they had no knowledge of a download that would fix this problem and that I would have to send it to them at my expense to have an estimate for repairs they would send me a letter telling me what needed to be done at the max. it would cost 119.00...i tried the download reinstal version 103 and it worked just as the others have said..still have the error message for a second or two but then I am able to take pictures as usual. I had already purchased two new cameras which I will now need to decide weather or not to keep me newer one...i really like the Casio but was very disappointed and inconvenienced at this malfunction and no support found from Casio to meet my satisfaction. Thank you for your posts!!!- karenmswJan 01, 2009

- I had th same problem - have followed the instructions to download and update the latest driver to the camera and, as someone else has commented on an earlier post, I still get the error message for a second or so when I open the lens cover, but it disappears and I can take pictures.However I am not too happy if the stabilisation isn't working. One of the reasons we have FIVE Exilim cameras in the house is the image stabilisation. Is there anything else I can do to fix this properly? I have emailed Casio Tech Support to see what they say, but probably won't get an answer for days....
TIA

i recommend downloading and installing the firmware update to version 1.02 from the www.casio.com website. this seems to have solved the problem....I still get the message but I can use the camera now. I wonder if I should get the lense realigned or just let it ride....

Hey guys the upload really works! It just sucks that i haven't tried it earlier! I am ot of country for a while and needed it fixed so i found a localcasio repair shop and they told me that it only takes a second to fix it so I got really happy and then asked for a price and it's 180 euros - no thank you! So i went online and read tons of opinions and tried the upload with my fingers crossed! The message about the stabilizer still appears but just for a sec and then i'm able to take pics! Thanks a lot for the help! And Good Luck!

I know that this means you dropped it and the lens are misaligned now. It should still be under warranty, call the number on the warranty card...but dont tell them you dropped it. It takes 5 weeks to get it back. I had mine back from repair a week and it fell out of my pocket when I sat down and now Im in the same boat as you. I was wondering if anyone has open one of these up and re aligned thier own lens... i dont want to wait 5 weeks again. email me at frankjzamarripa@gmail.com if you find a solution. thanks

I sent my camera back to casio with original reciept and they fixed it and returned it within 14 days. I was really shocked at the turn around time. Just call casio's 800 number and get the information you need.

Downloading the newest firmware on your ex-v7 can simply solve this problem. I have this problem too. By downloading the latest software, it goes back to normal. But the "stabilzer not available" thing still pops out after a sec. it'll just back to its normal mode... Hope this helps

My camera will not permit me to take pictures. Opeining the lens results in error message 'Camera Stabilizer not available', then camera shuts down. Worked fine a few days ago then this. How do I fix this problem as I need to use this camera this weekend to record surgery I'm going to have.

Download the latest firmware V1.03 will fix the problem. The irritating error message still appears but the camera works fine otherwise.
Try it, don't throw the camera oout yet!

I have the exact same problem with my camera, it have been working perfectly until last week and it have been taking perfect pictures. It´s only 8 months old, and I have never droped... And suddenly it just would work at all. I can see my pictures on my SD-Card but nothing else. I really there is a soultion on the problem.
Comment by gl4ever156, posted on Mar 30, 2008
i had the exact same problem.....updated your firmware to the newest version (it was released March 2008) and you may be able to use the camera again. sometime the problem is bad enough that you have to send it off. but its worth going to the CASIO offical site and downloading the newest firmware for free and seeing if that works before going through all the trouble of sending it off.
