Turns on then off

charge battery if chargeable batteries are in your camera, or put new batteries in camera.

when your device shows the "low battery" signal. That is the best time to recharge the batteries.... Do not over charge them..

The systems control board has detected a problem with the camera lens and shut it down. The lens is run by a tiny motor that extends and retracts for focusing, the motor has seized or the gears have jammed preventing operation. The only option is to take it to a camera technician to see if he can salvage the lens, or replace it.

I have a simular problem with my Sanyo. I know this sounds weird, but I have noticed if you shake the camera a little, the photo viewer comes back and pics can be taken. Also.. there is a spot that says 3x Digital zoom on the top of the camera, I also noticed if I put a little prssure on that spot with my fingers, the viewer comes back. I don't know if something might be loose, but thought maybe this information would help you.

I had a simular problem with my Sanyo. I purchased a new battery on E bay, and charged it up, and it worked again.

I had this same problem with my Sanyo camera... I went on E Bay and bought a new battery for it... about 8 dollars if its coming from China.. and it worked.

You have fried a component with in the camera. the only fix is to send it in to Sanyo.com for a repair.

The lens has a servo fault. This can be either the lens motor, the helicoil in the lens is jamming, or the servo drive electronics has a fault.

You will have to send the camera for service if you want to fix this. I doubt you can fix this yourself unless you have access to the parts, and have the training and tools to do this type of service.
