Purple and yellow colors on camera screen

SOURCE: I can turn on my camera, but the screen goes black and won't turn off.

did you push in the battery all the way so it clicks? I forgot to do that at first. =\

SOURCE: camera batteries drain quickly

Open the battery door and check the contact between the camera and the batteries. Most often then not there is just a bad contact and it's ruinning your baterry life.
Make sure that the contact are well placed and that there is no rust or dirt build up around there.

I'm having the exact same problem. I was in the middle of zooming on a shot and it froze, so I turned the camera off and on, and now I get the 5-chimes+Zoom Error screen. This is nuts, I've only had the thing for six months, and it was $250 (got the Stylus 730). I *think* I got a replacement plan so that's good. But still... I hope circuit city lets me get a different brand b/c I'm not happy with this now. The only problem I had before was the HORRID shutter delay. I want a model that doesn't have that problem .

Have you double checked the battery polarities are the right way round?

Sorry if this is a bit basic but its easier to check the simple things first.

Go back to duracell or energizer batteries... regular is not enough to poer this type of electric device
