I have had this camera for 2 yrs. now and went to sight to ck out pictures taken. The camera was off and would not come back on. Took it home and checked batters and they were ok. The camera will not come on. Any ideas what could be wrong?

The only surprise here is that the camera ever worked at all. Mine was D.O.A. out of the package. You might try leaving the batteries out for ten minutes, and then try again. If there is a default / reset button, try that too.

WOW!!! Thank you for that! I missed taking pictures at a concert and my work Christmas party this weekend!! So pissed about this that I could have just turned the battery around! All I can say is wow....Now I'm wondering if I should keep the camera or not. Hopefully this is all that is wrong with it. It's such a pain to return..exchange..whatever. Thanks for your help!

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 :-)

I'm not selling the new camera. The old camera that was the same model no longer worked because I left it outside in the rain all night. The old camera was working perfectly until that point.

The first suggestion is to check the wiring. I had similar problems and took the camera down and connected it to DVD and everything worked. I then replaced the entire lenght of wire and the camera is still working.

Thankyou! I haven't used my camera in several months because of this same problem. I followed your suggestions. It took a few tries, but it is now working!! Just in time for Christmas!

I had this problem. Bought a new battery on ebay and charged and the blinking went away. I thought the problem was solved but after shooting 10 minutes of video the camera is dead. Neither battery works so I think the camera is defective.

I, too, am having shutter problems. I have had my D50 camera since 2005 and have close to 18K shutter releases. Now, it completely sticks, gives me an "ERR" message and then I have to click again to release it, but it will not take a picture. I have loved my camera since the moment I got it. Now I need to ship it to Nikon and wait for the estimate. $300 to repair it??? is it worth it?

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

I am having problems with my S6500 also, but my problem is the camera somehow is depleting the battery when it is not even on. I purchased the Square Trade repair replacement policy for it through Amazon and they have had it twice within the past month and it still is not working right. I will give them one more try to repair and if it still does not work properly, I will requests a replacement or refund per the contract. I ended up having to purchase another camera to take on a vacation just to make sure I had one.

yes i have the same problem, one time i just replaced new batteries and took 2-3 pics and then set it for a flash pic and the camera went down saying "change the bateteries"Not sure if this piece has a problem or if there is some issue with all S2s

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

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

my camera still works. You may want to check and see if there is a firmware update that might solve your problem.

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

No i have been having problems with my battery also. In the manual it says that there is a small light that lights up when it is charging..i plugged it in accoarding to what the manual says and the light has never turned on. I charged the camera over night and it will only turn on it it is plugged into the charger....anyone have any advice on this?

Ours stopped working as well. We tried contacting Kodak to fix it but navigating their customer service process requires the patience of a saint. No wonder Kodak is going bankrupt! We bought a more expensive brand thinking it would be higher quality, but I guess we were wrong.
