Camera stuck on standby

How full is your memory?
If the internal RAM and / or SD card is too full it may be that the camera app cannot allocate storage space.
If not a storage problem, then something is corrupt or faulty, in which case a tech will need to check.
Does this help?

hi there!

the camera really goes on standby when you turn on the camera but you wont use it for a couple of minutes. but it should come alive once you press the camera button or any keys. if thats not happening, it may have been stuck there (if there are many programs open at the same time, its going to hang) so just powercycling the phone (turn off, remove battery, simcard, memory card) leave it like that for 2mins, put everything back in. if after turning it on, the camera still on standby, you may need to take to out for repair since there's no safe software out there i will recommend to reset the phone, better safe than sorry right =)

A stuck shutter is another common failure mode for digital cameras, especially for the SD1000. The symptoms of a stuck or "sticky" shutter are very similar to CCD image sensor failure. The camera may take black pictures (for shutter stuck closed), or the pictures may be very bright and overexposed, sometimes with lines, especially when taken outdoors (for shutter stuck open). To confirm a stuck shutter, put the camera in any mode other than "Auto", and turn the flash OFF (you don't want to blind yourself for the next step). Next look down the lens and take a picture. You should see a tiny flicker in the center of the lens as the shutter opens and closes. If no movement is seen, then you likely have a stuck shutter. If so, please see this link for further info and a simple fix that may help. This time if you fix it, remember to take many pictures afterwards to lubricate the shutter to prevent this from happening again.

This happens when the CCD sensor in the camera gets stuck off centre. It apparently happens sometimes if the camera body is dropped or knocked - it's a fault with the 'slider' on which the sensor sits. When you turn the camera on the software will shake the sensor to remove the dust. The sensor should then be centred by the camera's software. If this doesn't happen then the picture is clear but off centre as in your case. Usually this means a trip to a repair shop.

Its not a problem with the mobile its common in all mobiles when we keep the phone in camera mode for more than 30 to 40 secs.we should take the picture within that time or will go to standby to save charge.just click on continue it will come back to camera mode but if you have this problem without any withstand time(30 to 40)then contact your mobile vendor.

It sounds like the Function (FUNC) button is stuck. Actually, that's what is supposed to happen if you press the FUNC and then turn the wheel... but it's not supposed to stay that way after the FUNC button is released. Try tapping the FUNC button to see if it releases.

There's a menu in Options to continue/resume using the camera when it's on standby.
Go into the menu and reset the phone to original settings, (You might loose all your data). Or try switching the phone off and taking the battery out then leaving the phone alone for 1 hour.

The sliding button above the LCD display has three settings. You need to slide the button to the right, A camera icon for taking pictures, a movie camera in the middle and the green arrow on the left to view pictures and movies taken

hi there, i had the same problem with my phone, you can easily sort it out, all you need to do is go to menu and open gallery and you need to delete some pictures/tones, videos from memory card. The reason why your camera goes on standby each time you take a picture is because there is not enough memory to store your pictures. hope it helps hamida

Yeah,

Press all the buttons at the same time, threaten to through it in the toilet, then give it a couple of agressive taps.

It works.

Really.
