Do more internet searches of your model. Sounds like the sensor chip died. Pretty expensive part. Could have not liked the salty environment or you are just unlucky. Do the search until you give up as there is a lot of info on internet. Cameras are getting pretty cheap now so if it is a little old or cheaper model, you may do better with a forced "upgrade".

Sounds like you have a bad battery. Check your users manual for how to change it.

Your SD card may have a greater capacity than the camera can handle - check the max size in the manual.

There is nothing you can do to fix this, it should not affect daytime photo taking.

turn your card around or there is rice in there

This query should be posted under Office Equipment, not Cameras.

This is more a software issue than an actual camera problem. May I suggest you repost this in a forum dealing with computers, where there may be someone who has solved this issue.

Many people have a Lens Error. Usually a tiny piece of dust or sand gets caught in the lens mechanism. PLEASE search for Lens Error here you will find MANY step by step procedures.

I am confused. If you can FORMAT the SD card when it is in the camera (FORMAT is successful) you SHOULD be able to use it.

In the tool menu (wrench) you should be able to find this. Make sure you really want to do this before you reset the camera... you cannot go back after a reset.

Possible your sensor needs cleaning

You cannot create new folders on an SD card and copy images to them, as the camera will not recognise them, since they were not create in the camera. Copy the entire contents of the card to a folder on your HDD, then format the card in the camera.

Hello Karen, I am getting the same issue. Did you get it fixed?

They are either out of focus or suffering from camera shake - check the camera settings. Another possibility is foreign matter adhering to the lens.

Use a faster SD card. The write speed number is what you look for. The greater the number the better the card.

There is insufficient light indoors, so the camera is selecting a slow shutter speed, which is causing camera shake, hence the 'fuzziness'.

Please make sure you have a good FRESH batteries. The batteries you are using may be old or discharged. Wen a camera behaves like this always assume power or batteries.

Is it set up to write to the card or to the internal memory (if any) ?
