Question about Samsung Digimax S700 Digital Camera
Camera is frozen with lens open - new batteries - turns on, then off
can you help?
The beeping sound means that the camera has low battery capacity. the lens is stuck out because there is incorrect battery connection. there is an option on the camera setting for the battery type. try this one:
-turn the camera on
-click on Menu button
-select options using left/right, up/down button
-select Set up 2
-Select Battery type
-Select Alkaline for non-rechargable
or Ni-MH for rechargable
-click OK button
this setting should be done when using camera for the first time and whenever you are switching battery types, from rechargable to non-rechargable and vice versa.

I had this same problem, and all i did was pop out the SD card, and tried turning it on without it in there. It powered up just fine. I then replaced the SD card and all was well. Possibly a problem with teh SD card.

Same problem...camera turns on then off, lens is stuck in open position.
my samsung s700 lens will not open all the way when camera turned on. seems to be skipping a gear or partially broken gear drive. need to know how to take the lens apart for possible easy fix. maybe exploded view of camera. or maintenance manual. need to take it apart for fix.
I have the same problem, The lens is frozen with full new batteries; I push the power butten, there is a green light but the lense refuses to react, after a few trial, the green light is off as well. Completely frozen.
my camera's lense is frozen and doesnt turn on not even with full batteries
same issue. camera is frozen in the off position with the lens open, regardless of battery type or power. the light blinks while the power or play button is held, but then it makes a light click sound and switches off.
same problem, but it only started doing this a few months ago, now the lens is completely frozen all the time. I also think it may be a gear problem inside the lens mechanism, but dont know why this would happen after a year or two usage, and how to fix it
I have the s700 and loved it, but it had the same problem, I sent it away to be fixed and $100 later it is still not fixed!I am done with Samsung!!!1
samsung camera not turning on! I have this problem with my stupid camera too!!
The lens is stuck out and I can't do anything with it. I try turn it on but the light justs flashes and the camera makes a clicking noise.
Any way of fixing this? I can't do what mark sox says because I can't even turn it on.
