I cannot on my camera

Please can you give more information concerning the make and model of camera to which your query refers ? Many thanks.

I wish you to wish to visit the following blog which gives a step by step information on various troubleshooting methods for issues like you face with digital camera. http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html. Acknowledge if any of the fix works.

It needs to be sent in for repair. Error 99 is a generic error code informing you that there is something wrong. Since when it actually takes photos and they become blurry or overexposed, I assume its you shutter that has gone bad. The shutter must be staying open longer then it should be. The closest Canon repair plant is in Irvine,Ca. Heres the address and number 15955 Alton Parkway, Irvine - (949) 753-4000 . Sorry about you camera, but its most likely cheaper to buy another used one then to repair it. The repair cost will be between $150-250, but you will get a new shutter that should last a while longer.

This is usually caused by a defective CCD image sensor and can be repaired fairly inexpensively. However, it's not a user serviceable problem and will need to be repaired qualified service technician.

Since you neglected to give us any information about the camera, we can't give you any advice.

Windows updates has changed the registry and now your camera is no longer recognized. No problem....just get a card reader and use it instead of your camera for downloads.

The lens may have malfunctioned. It could be jammed, one of the plastic moving parts is broken, or the motor has malfunctioned.

You can try to open the r742 camera and swap out the lens with working set from another non-functioning r742 camera.

I have a Easy Share M863 and have had it less than a year. It was working great and then last week I tried turning it on and it would not open. I thought it might be the battery needed charging so I did that. It still will not open. I contacted Kodak and they told me they would give me 15% on a new digital camera. That is not what I wanted. My camera is not even a year old. It should have lasted longer I think.

your lens has a grain of grit in it. Try assisting the lens gently side to side and see if that frees the debris.

Technika currently does not have an open database where we can download the manual. Please let us know specifically what you want to find out about the camera and we will try to find more information about it.
