The camera will not turn on in picture mode. It will turn on in playback mode. When you press the power button, it beeps 4 times and turns off.
I have the same problem with mine! I have been told to send the camera in to be repaired. Ugh!! I know there is a hidden diagnosic screen, but Pentax is not allowed to reveal how it is done. Does anybody out there know how?

You may need to format the SD memory chip. It's on page 158 in the User Manual. If you don't have a manual you can download it here. http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/manual/Optio%20W10_web.pdf The memory chip maybe full or appear full to the camera and will only show pictures in playback mode.

The sd card is fine that is not the problem.
The beeps mean that there is a printed cicuit error. At least that is what Pentax told me. The only solution is to send it back for repair and hope the repair costs less than a new camera.
