HomeThe camera seems to be frozen. You can view images but none of the modes work no photos can be taken The camera DMC-FX8GC was working fine. I downloaded the photos via USB cord to my laptop no problem. Now when I turn the camera on the lens comes out as if ready to go but none of the various photo modes wok. I press the shutter button and nothing. The viewfinder still works but the zoom does not. If I hook up to the laptop I can view the jpegs. If anyone has a similar experience please email me. I am an Aussie living in Manila, if you want any tips on The Philippines I can help, not exactly relevant I know but if it means I can get it working happy to help. Thanks

Thanks for the reply I have taken the battery out but it did not help. The last time the camera was used was on a hot day her in the philippines and maybe coming in caused some condensataion inside the case. Do you think I should try and open the case to see, or leave it to a service technician here in Manilla, if I can find one. The point being that if there is condensation in the case it has been a week so the damage is probably already done. Is there anything that could go wrong if I do open the case as in any springs that might pop out making the whole thing a nightmare Thanks again for your help on this John It would appear as though part of the cameras logic circuit has locked up for some reason or another, although stating a possibly obvious point that applies to ALL equipment controlled by logic circuits, but have you tried removing the battery for a few minutes to allow the circuit to reset? If this doesnt help, then is there any possibility that condensation moisture can be present within the casing? |
