Camera will not take picture. It says that it is busy. It will flash but will not take. Took many pictures today and then it started acting up tonight and we can't fix it. Any suggestions?

Get a card reader and use it instead of the camera to download your pics. This one is only $13 at Walmart.

Could it be the camera battery is depleted?

Just got a brand new camera. Played around with it a few nights to learn all the parts and buttons. Went to a concert tonite. While waiting for the show I took many test shots to see how the camera would work under these contiditions. Used a 75 to 300 Cannon lens. I had just got the settings about right when the show started. All of a sudden the display went dark and "busy" flashed in the view finder. But it would not take any more pictures. Taking the battery out and removing the sd card did not help. The auto focus and flash still worked but nothing else.
This camera is going back to the store if I can't get some help. PLEASE............. vj

I took it back to the store and exchanged it I hope this one is better I like this camera and for a $500. camera it should not be acting like that thank you

sir i think this is sutter EV slow or ur AV in lens not operating, u remove ur battery some time.and reset

You've just turned on the "highlights" option in image review. Press the up arrow on the d-pad to get back to the normal setting.

update, possible solution..
I pulled the batteries for 24 hours, attempting to force a reset of the camera. Today it worked, took pictures and zoomed just fine. I shut it off after about 10 pics and turned it back on and back to the start... Took the batteries out for a few minutes and put it back in and back in business. Hope this helps at least get SOME functionality out of it. This won't serve as a long term solution for me, but perhaps will lead towards a full answer.

whats up with blackscreen?

make sure there is no fingerprints on the lens glass

not sure if you have the same problem..but i have the same camera and when i turned it on the screen was all white..it still worked and took pictures but i could only see them on the computer.. i had my friends dad open it up and he found a foam like piece that fell from somewhere and was causing a wire to short out in the LCD screen.
