On my pressing the power button, the cam's lens cover opens, it slides out, slides back, and then the lens cover closes again. I've changed batteries, but nothing seems to help. Any ideas of what's wrong with it?? Thanks! Make sure it is not in demo mode. Some stores allow customers to get a feel for the camera, and there should be a way to take it out of demo mode.. they do that for electronics to show the function, rather than what it can do, like microwaves, etc... You can press the buttons, press start, but it is not really cooking something...
1. Check with the store you got it from, and make sure it is out of demo mode.
2. Check to see if you have a memory card inseted correctly, most newer cameras will not even turn on until there is a memory card inseted.
3. Make sure you do not have any connectors (USB) connected to it, some models do not operate when it thinks it's in file transfer mode.
4. Make sure you are using either the rechargable batteries that came with it, or Li-On batteries... alkaline, or "heavy duty" batteries will not work.
If all else fails, just contact the manufacturer. They may even replace it if they cannot determine what is wrong (it could be a firmware thing)
