Possible broken spring mount in lens. This spring holds the focus lens. I had the same problem on an EX S600 and was able to fix it by taking the lens assembly out and taking it apart and making a spring mount out of a small piece of wire and glueing it in. This is not an easy job as everything is very tiny. It takes time and patience. Seems the camera tries to autofocus but can't because the spring is not connected. It then just shuts off.

I've got fat fingers. Sounds like a bit beyond my comfort level or ability. But, thanks for the advice. I actually sent the camera back to Casio. They just upgraded my camera for about half the price of a new one. So, I'm going with that option.
