Samsung s1050 lockup problems
sometimes the camera locks up when taking a photo on auto setting. the image freezes on the lcd and nothing works, the camera also wont turn off the only way to rectify is to remove the batteries. Sometimes when taking a photo the red beam stays on and the camera locks up with no lcd.

Ended up exchanging the camera, due to suspected software problem within the camera, problem solved! exesive battery use solved by investing in 2790mh battery charger!

It jammed somehow...and maybe tape broke. I need to get all the valuable memories from the tape onto DVD. In order to do that, first I need the tape cassette repaired. Can I mail it somewhere to have it repaired? Do you know the address? Thank you so much! You can reach me on my cell phone at (336) 830-3675.

Bought the camera.. inserted my brand new £7 Energizer Lithium batteries (Up to 650 photos).. it said that they were dead. Inserted the ones that came with the camera.. took 2 pictures, and the lense stopped moving. Couldn't turn the camera off with the power button. Removed batteries, inserted them.. camera dead. Sent off for a replacement.. Energizer Lithium dead, ones that came with the camera took 6 pictures.. dead.
Getting a completely different camera... on Samsung's own reccomendations.

just got the Samsung s1050- having all the same lock up problems as described by others-freezing, batteries reading low and shutting off (with brand new batteries) etc.
C'mon Samsung- you are going to lose your reputation.

Samsung S1050 will lockup when taking a low light picture without flash in AUTO. Only way to reset is to remove batteries. Called Samsung support, "Diane" said I should use rechargable batteries and the problem should go away. I told her the problem occured even with fresh batteries. I suspect they have a software problem and either do not know about it or they are instructing their support personel to lie.

My problem is when i put in brand new batteries it says low battery and turns off. Its been doing that for a week now and never turns on. Guess i will have to return it to samsung.

When power button is pressed the green power light comes on and the lens extends but no picture shows on the screen. The camera is frozen and no function can be made. When you take the batteries out the lights go off but the lens does not retract. When the batteries are replaced the green light comes on but again the camera is frozen. At present I can't get the lens to retract and the camera is inoperable.

from the outset the batteries supplied ran out after 20 minutes or so. Thenafter purchasing re chargables, even when left out of the camera when not in use, it would say low battery then turn off. Up side, i've taken 5 very nice pictures!!
