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.

use the off button as normal. It will not affect the settings. I tried it on mine and it worked

Use the center red button, move it to the right a few times, you will see VGA, HD, HD60, then a picture of a camera. Camera mode will take pictures but this is not a quality picture on the Zi6. Video good but not pictures. I hope this answered your question

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.

I don't believe I've had that happen. Is it connected directly to your TV, or is it connected to a VCR (or other recording/playing device) and THEN to your TV? If there is an intervening device, make sure that it is turned on and working properly. I suppose you've tried unplugging the Zinwell and plugging it back in? Sorry, that's all I've got.

I'm having the same problem with a new SD1300 IXUS105 camera -- no sound for anything (startup, shutter, movie playback), and I've confirmed MUTE is OFF and the volume settings for all the operations have been adjusted to the maximum. Has anyone discovered a solution to the problem other than exchange?

Have you had any problems with dust? I found three or more reviews on the DMC-ZS8 with particles of dirt accumulating. How's your camera faring with this problem? One person actually took the time to take the camera apart to clean it - Amazing! He wrote how he did it and posted it in the July/August 2011 time period. I can't purchase this camera with confidence even though it sounds great. Thanks much.

I really don't think I know, but did you have the switch on? I think the camera is supposed to be turned off while charging.

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!

I had the same problem and then the camera stop working all together. Had it for just one week and stopped working.

I had the same problem for a while. it was some sort of "zoom lock". Finaly came on and displayed the warning "Zoom Lock". Eventually had to replace the camera. Sorry if bad news.

Turn camera off...give it a good smack...problem solved. Found this "solution" on another web post and it worked. Figured i didn't have anything to lose at this point. It worked! Can't believe it, but it is true. I was ready to buy a new camera. Now it works like a charm.

Hi, As far as I know they never set the Zi12 in full production. This listing is legit however, the product exists, so someone probably got hold of the few(?) ones that were actually made. If you buy it (like I did) there will be no support from Kodak or firmware updates etc. The camera in itself is wonderful and works perfectly though!

Yes, turning the camera on/off is not working right. First delivered one was bad and the replaced one is also the same bad condition which is very frustrating. This camera is a junk. I wasted my money for it. I do not use this camera any more. If it is possible for you, I would like to return the camera to you for refund. Hiro Inoue
