Is there a problem with "screen failure" as with other Coolpix?

when I take a picture in some settings the camera takes longer to process the information the screen turns black for 10 sec to be able to take the next picture.

Well, all I can say is that I owned another Coolpix before this new one and my old one nor this new one have ever had screen failure.

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

I've had that issue from time to time and I am able to get it to work by disconnecting the USB and re-connecting it again. Try that and then start again, once the program starts to work I leave it running until I am finished, even if it's for a few days. Also, don't worry about the picture quality on the screen viewer window...the final JPEG you save is good quality.

I have had two lumix zs8 cameras and both had the same issue within less than 5 months! Lovw everything else about the camera...

Yeah, I found leaving the battery out for 30 minutes helped as the problem didn't comeback until I unplugged it from recharging it. Sucks, I really like the camera.

No I have not. Everything is fine. Try different inputs and cables etc. also you can run the image retention bar ( thru menu).

No, mine works fine. They seem to have a great resolution team. Contact them and see what they can do.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

My camera's LCD screen is fine, even though I frequently carry it in a too-small pocket, so I'd say that's encouraging, but on the other hand I have no idea why the screen would flake off in the first place, so I have no idea what Panasonic may have done to remedy such an issue. If your camera is less than a year old I would definitely contact Panasonic about that as a warranty issue. I can't see how they could claim such an issue is NOT manufacturing defect in either materials of workmanship.

I havent had any problems with mine. A. Check the backup battery (you may even try cleaning the battery with a regular pink pencil eraser - learned this trick when I worked at a camera store)B. Check your power supply - perhaps it is bad. C. Contact Nautilus and see if they will replace the electronics for you. I hope this has been of some help

I wouldn't count on it. Look for a t17 screen? You could always just but it, try it out, and if it doesn't work go ahead and return or exchange it.

I am having the same issue, as buying a new kit and keeping the old monitor as a backup or only buying a extra camera (for old model 02644)... did you get any ansers?

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

I've never had this problem before. Take the grip off, reset the camera to see if the screen will be normal. When you get the camera screen back to normal, turn off the camera, set the grip back on, turn on the camera to see if it works.

I've had mine so long, (Summer 2013) I need to order a new one. As for issues - NONE. It has no effect on the screen.

I had the same issue with a Canon Powershot SD780 IS Digital Elph. Just wanted to say this helped me a lot reading these comments. It just refused to power on one day out of the blue. A month later and 2 years out of warranty and with no options other than to cough up a bunch of money for a repair or new camera I decided to get risky and see what I could do myself. In the battery compartment, just to the left side of the battery a small plastic tab from the battery door fits into a slot when you close the door. The tab wasn't broken so I took an x-acto knife and poked at the piece in the camera body I assume the plastic tab was supposed to be hitting. Maybe the part was gunked up or sticking or something. I have no idea. But the camera was able to turn on after that and seems perfectly fine now.
