Power button sticks down. Second camera to do this

Hi,
If the camera will not power up then please check the following:
1. That the batteries are inserted correctly. Two should be facing upwards and two downwards. With the camera facing you (upside down) then the first battery on the left should have the positive terminal up, the second down, third up and last one down. If this does not work then ensure the slider switch to close the battery cover is fully closed - sometimes this sticks - as this closes a microswitch. If the camera still does not work then a fuse will have blown in the camera. This would be a very expensive repair. Hope this helps

I'll try to explains that you format the memory stick - which will delete all pictures stored on the device as part of the process - by doing the following:

Insert the Memory Stick media® to be formatted in the camera.
On the camera, turn the MODE DIAL to the SETUP position.
Turn on the camera.
Using the CONTROL BUTTON, press the DOWN ARROW button to select MEMORY STICK TOOL.
Press the center of the CONTROL BUTTON.
Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW button to select FORMAT.
Press the RIGHT ARROW button.
Press the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW button to select OK.
Press the center of the CONTROL BUTTON.

Hope helps.

may be ur computer is not able to read the stick, try it on another PC, some times the memory stick has some power left in it when removing from the camera and the same has to be discharged, to do this refit the stick to you camera and access the stick, then shut down the camera by power off button of the camera and then remove the stick from the camera and connect it to the PC.

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...

Here's some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

Hello,


try resetting the camera once ... remove the batteries and press the power button for few seconds and put ur batteries back !!

hi use a fuji s5600 which is ok for my need's but also the batteries are very fast down, i checket it to contakt for the battery is not good my tip clean out the battery shelf and try to tighten up the small srews inside, may open it and close again and you can use a power messure if the power goes true or not. sorry my english...

My Canon A75 has the EXACT same problem. I have always handled it with care. When I was taking photos with it, the camera suddenly started shutting down without a low battery warning. It just started shutting down, but it stopped with the lens still sticking half way out. Like yours, the top green light flashes when I try pressing the power button. Any ideas?
