Optio S Powerup Problem

I just realized that when I take the battery out of the camera briefly and put it back in (for example, when I put the battery back in after a recharge), the camera does't powerup properly. It shows the green light and it doesn't go off and the camera hangs and nothing is functional. Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Perhaps this is related to the focus problem you posted? Battery drain because the lens system hangs up on power-up? If this new lens system fail to open properly you can have battery and focus problems?

Got my Pentax Optio A10 soaked in the rain today. TOTALLY!

soak and, I mean soak your camera inside and, out in 90% isoprophyl (rubbing) alcohol remove the battery first then after 24 hours dry the camera out using a hair dryer on the warm setting.

My pentax optio 50 lens got stuck half-way and now the camera turns on briefly and then goes off automatically. I've replaced batteries and pushed the lens in manually, but it's still not working. Mary

This is tricky .. if you have no warranty, and have already managed to push the lens in.. I suggest pulling the lens outwards gently AS you simulataneously turn the camera on. You may be able to use a small suction-cup affixed to the lens to do this :)
you could hold the lens-cover open with tape so the cover is less likely to be damaged.. good luck, this problem is common, annoying, and usually not worth repairing (*although with some cameras it can be done again and again!)

E10 and s45 same problem

the batteries needed for the cameras are quite high powered

though the batteries show that they are fuly charged most times they have lost their actual capacity of power storage in them so not being able to supply enough to start the camera best way to test this is to start the camera on preview mode if this works then you will need to buy a new set of rechargable batteries, i would suggest to take batteries in the range of 2000MAh to 2500MAh and

the normal batteries will not be able to sustain long even for normal lens open and retract functions, instead of normal batteries try LR6 varieties (eg: Duracell, Energizer, etc)

Pentex optio camera

Hi, Same problem. Somebody had suggested gentle tapping. With nothing to loose if it doesnt work my wife banged it more than gently onto a desk and it started working. Hurrah! Dont blame us if it breaks.
