Problem for Samsung Digimax A400 Digital Camera
Camera shuts off by itself
By Quack - usenet poster on Sep 12, 2005
I just got a samsung a400 camera ,I only used it a few times i went to turn it on and it shuts off by itself.I changed the batteries in it and it is still doing it.I am wondering if any one else has had this problem.This is my first digital camera and wondering if it was a wise choice to buy a samsung.

Are you certain the batteries are good and fully charged. They do wear out eventually.
Hopefully it's not a jammed lens causing the problem. Does the display come up with an error number or maybe even "lens error" before switching off? If it does it will mean a trip to the camera doctor.
How far are you actually getting with the switch on? Try switching to view picture instead of the shoot mode. This consumes less power and if you can see the last picture you took on the LCD or even a flash of it before closedown I'd put my money on bad batteries.
Make sure the battery ends are clean and the camera battery contacts aren't corroded or dirty. It's sometimes amazing how trouble a little dirt can cause.

- If none of the above works the camera should still be under warranty. Take it back for a fix or replacement.May 31, 2006
- Rat's one more thing. What type batteries are you using? If you are using cheap alkalines it's possible they don't have enough power to fire the camera up. Spoil yourself and buy a set or two of Nimh rechargeable batteries the higher the MAH the better. I use 2600mah batteries and they last for hours none stop. That also means you'll need a good charger but it'll save you a fortune in the long run.BMW
