Question about Pentax Optio M30 Digital Camera
My pentax Optio M30 keeps going off when i try to put it on, i noticed that when it's put on its zooms out and then in, that when it turns off. i've tryed other solutions like making sure the battery is charged and properly inserted. pls do give me a proper solution for this.
There is no fix for this you can do yourself. These cameras are designed to shut themselves off if there is any kind of an internal problem. So automatically shutting off is a symptom, rather than the problem itself. Return the camera to a Pentax repair centre. They'll give you an estimate, and I guess you'll know what to do if the cost of the repair turns out to be more than the camera is worth to you. And don't waste your money on advice from a "fixya.com" expert, cuz' they'll tell you the same thing, after asking if your battery is charged and if your SD card is in and if your internal memory is full, yada, yada, yada, which is ****, cuz' under those various circumstances, the camera would stay on, at least for a couple of minutes.

Pentax Tech Support will have the remedy- this is where to answer lays- there is no user remedy.

Have you checked how much charge the battery is holding,
might need a new battery. Also check that battery is making full contact. Just an idea!

Mine does the exact same thing...and when I tried pressing a couple buttons on it, it started to make an ungodly beeping noise too.
Have exactly the same problem. Turns on seems to struggle to focus, with accompanying grinding noise, then turns off.

same prob here
havent found answers yet
I have the same problem, the camera turns on and makes humming sound as the lens tries to focus, then shuts off after the lens retracts. I had a similar problem while it was still under warranty and the factory fixed it and updated the firmware. It worked for about 10 months and now the problem is back but the camera is out of warranty.
same here, i am waiting for the pentax tech departments comment
