(08/28/07) A couple days ago when I turned on my camera an error message came on that said "error, shut down." I shut it off and then tried to turn it back on. The lens protruded forward and has remained in that position since then. When i press the on/off button a light flashes by the Capture/View switch, but nothing happens. I thought that maybe my battery was old (I bought this camera on 08/2006)so i bought a new one and fully charged it and then placed it in the camera and still it will not turn on, and the lens will not retract. Please help, I really love my camera and I hope I can fix it. Thanks 4 ur help.
My camera before shuting down said error lens, can i repair it my self
Either gear box problem ( sand/ dirt )or lens is impacted. First problem not expensive to cure but the second requres lens unit to be replaced : probably uneconomical to repair; get a quote from camera repair outfit in your area.

I do not think it it sand or dirt in it, as it is always kept inside the house in its case. I will visit a repair shop and find out whats wrong with it.
Thanks for trying.
Hi
I've got the same problem as mismac. Keep getting the 'Error--Shut down' message on a red screen when i try to turn on my Easyshare one. I was thinking about getting a new battery as well but I guess I know that won't fix the problem now.
I'd really love some help on this as I've had my camera for less than a year now.
Cheers
Bmoney
