Maybe try pressing the reset button under the camera. Its a little dot inside the camera so you might need to use a needle to push it. Hope this helps :-)

My first one had the same problem as yours. Red light on all the time, and froze! I returned it and bought another one hoping it was a defective piece.... My second one start to show signs of defective also! and this one I can't return b/c past return period. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT is my recommendation.

the power button sometimes presses in too far, destroying the entire camera. unfortunately this poor design happens extremely easily, and the camera breaks for many people within the first week or two. mine broke before i ever used it.

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

Try a new battery. Mine has worked fine. Be sure camera is set on remote connection so the remote and camera "see" each other.

I had a similar problem. The sony analyst walked me through power resetting and pulling batter + memory card. None of the checks corrected the problem. I used the 'tap it on a hard surface' technique and it is back up and working. The pulling the camera lens did not work so the tapping technique will be used until we tap it into its grave.

Sometimes if you "rush" the process, you will find that the camera action "freezes up." Try rebooting the camera by taking the battery out or plugging it in to your computer; anything that might trip or signal the mechanism. Don't push or force it, of course. If it locks-up often, then obviously, there are problems with the camera. I bought the insurance offered through Amazon, just for such circumstances.

You could try getting a new battery and make sure you have the right setting on your camera.

Obviously, check all connections. Also, the power might have been cut so you would have to reenter pswd. If you look at face of camera at night you can see if it glows red. If it doesn't the camera(s) not working. Other than that, I would need more info....

Make sure that when you set it up for use that you go into the camera settings and enable the remote for "quick response." I've noticed that when I go to long without using the remote it enters a stand by mode and I have to re-enable it again. If that doesn't work then you might need to change the battery. Happy shooting!

You probably have a bad battery. Same thing happened to me. I ordered two new batteries. Charged them and the Camera works perfect. If you purchased this item refurbished contact the seller and Amazon and have them refund the cost of the new purchased batteries. They refunded the cost for me.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

I never had that problem. You might want to check the battery, or settings on your camera.

I have the same problem. I think the reason is a little switch at the battery compartment. It is meant to prevent power on if you forgot to close the battery door completely. But over time that little switch broke and the camera simply cannot power up again. What a smart idea but poor design. The camera is dead because of such a feeble switch.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

Hi Emily, it could be you need a new battery or to take it to camera store that fixes them.and have them check it for you. Good luck
