Question about Kyocera Finecam S5 Digital Camera
After using the camera last Satuday, I got it out on Thursday and suddenly it would not start up properly. It tried with rapid click, but the lens will not extend and the flash is partial up. Help please. It has not been dropped and lives in my handbag!
Hi there~ I don't know if this is any help any more, but it's probably a mechanical problem. I babied mine too and the same thing happened. If you lay your camera flat and look straight down at it, you'll probably notice the gaps in the zoom thing (sorry, i don't know the techincal term for this) are not the same all the way around. If you *gently* push the lens on the 'fatter width' side and even it out, the camera should be able to open. The other possibility is that there is grime in those gaps, and tapping your camera gently or using one of those canned air dusters should get it out. I really hope this is a little more useful to you!

Have you checked the batteries are fully charged ? Are you using nimh batteries? did a reset? Might be obvious, but since you don't mention it, I should ask.

Yes, I left it charging for 24 hours, and checked the charge light was green.
I have just put the battery back it after leaving it out for 24 hours, and with a little very gentle persuasion, the lens has opened, it will zoom in and out, but when it shuts down the flash does not now go down, and unless I turn it onto review before I switch it off it turns back on again. The lens opens now when I switch it on
My camera is almost two years old. One day it randomly stopped working. The lens does not open and it makes a grinding noise. The screen appears but nothing happens then it goes black and flashes error code 011. I've been trying for months to fix this and nothing works. please help!
My Casio Exilim tries to start (makes beeping sounds) but lens does not move. How do I reset it?
MY KODAK C603 DIGE. CAMERA ,THE ZOOM LENS WILL NOT EXTEND OUT WHEN I TURN IT ON
My daughter tipped the camera over. At first the lense would not go in. My husband followed the advise and gently moved so that the lense would retract. NOW it won't open. It just makes a buzzing noise! HELP!!!!
