this generally happens if you have dropped it. when the message comes. try tapping the camera. if it works then you are lucky. if not then you have to change the lens array. it costs about 60$

use NiMH batt.

Have you changed batteries?

try using lithium or nimh rechargeable batteries. I had the same problem and switched out the batteries and put in eveready nimh batteries and it works fine now. Guess the old cheap ones weren't doing the job. And they were brand new batteries.

I am having the same problem with my camera. I have to take the batteries out to get it to shut down. I also cannot view my photos on the camera, when I try to turn it to view, it goes to shoot mode.

A family member of mine had that exact same camera and it did the exact same thing (though, he left his in the snow all night).
The way he got around it, was to turn it on, and then hold on to the lens to prevent it from closing back into the camera.
This trick always worked for him, but if you do it, it may mess up more things with the camera. If it's a risk you are willing to take, go for it!
