I charged the battery and when I put it back in to use the camera, I turned the power on and the lens came out but a blue screen comes up with the following message: D: 5f08 8233 8234 The lens will not go back in when it gets shut off. The battery shows full. I can plug in the usb cable and the option to transfer pictures comes up but I can't view my pictures on the camera, take pictures or do anything else with it. Do you have any suggestions?? I am lost without this camera. This is the first problem I have had with it in 3.5 years and I have loved it so far! Thanks for your help!

Hi there please follow the steps and let me know the result.
1. Ensure batteries are fully charged & clean the battery connector point in side the battery compartment.
2. Look carefully between the lens and the camera body for any sand, dirt or any damaged etc.
3. Try turning the camera with the lens facing down and shake to dislodge anything stuck
4. Try removing batteries and memory card, wait 5 minutes and refit the battery only.
5. Now turn on camera( with out card ) and see ,if working then fix the memory card & again turn on the camera. If working then fine . Otherwise format the memory card and fix back in camera again & try. Make sure before format the memory card take a back up all photos in your computer then format. If no luck then reset or restore the camera setting by pressing Menu key for 2 sec .. in not done the press both Menu & self time key for 2 - 4 sec.
