The symptoms you described are normally power related. First make sure that your batteries are fully charged - batteries that are more than a year old will frequently not accept or hold the charge needed to operate the camera. Second, check the contacts on the batteries and inside the camera. Rub them with a soft, dry cloth to remove any corrosion that may have formed on them, then recharge the batteries for several hours. NOTE: heavy corrosion buildups may require cleaning with a fine wire brush, steel wool, sandpaper, etc.
A second cause for your problem, especially if the camera has recently been dropped, is lens damage. If the battery/power steps don't cure the problem, your camera may need professional repair. If that's the case, I recommend that you take it to an authorized dealer/repair point (NOT the camera department in a chain store), and also contact Pentax customer service on line to arrange repairs. Make sure that you get a firm price, not just an estimate, before you commit to anything. The cost of a repair can approach the price of a new camera, and repairs typically only carry a 30-day warranty.
Hi, I found this on the Pentax website. It looks like you cannot print the date directly from the camera but you can do it using other options. . How can I print the date on my
pictures?
You can print the date on your picture using a
DPOF compatible
printer or at a printing service or by using the provided software
ACDSee for
PENTAX.
try this :
This works on most mini electronic devices like cellular phones and degital cameras etc .
it sounds crazy .
Remove the back (or Cover ) of the phone( or Camera ), battery, and SIM if your phone ( or Device ) uses one , DIRECTLY
.
Then, with a q-tip (or something similar), dab the connection points (shiny, goldish) on the battery, SIM, and phone. This should aid in drying.
Finally, place all contents in a bag of uncooked rice (separately, do not put back together just yet). it sounds crazy , but it draws the moisture out.
It normally is working after just 7-8 hours, but I would wait 12 hours or even 24 hours before attempting to use (just to be sure).
beware the water damage, despite being dry now, will void any warranties. Also, the phone's hardware is now weakened and if you drop it, the green mother board and circuitry could shatter - so be more careful.
This does work on electronic devices aside from phones as well. Simply tailor it to your device. If you do not have a SIM (Verizon phones, cameras, all others), remove only the battery. If you have an iPhone/iPod or GPS and cannot remove the battery, simply make sure it is all the way off, then put it in the rice bag. All electronic devices react the same to the rice trick.

First try to reformat the SD card in your camera using the camera settings. Are your batterys ok??? Next try using the card in another device to see if it works. If it does you may have the wrong card for the camera. Check the manual for the correct card. After that, if your computer has a card reader (or a friend has one) try to reformat the card in that, then put back in you camera and see if it works. None of the above work??, could be a bad card.
If you have droped it. There is something in the lense works that is jamed or broken. Sometimes a gentle prying will work it free if not take it to the shop or go shopping.
Your problem may be due to weak/worn out batteries or corrosion on the battery contacts inside the camera
which can prevent the full power of the batteries from flowing into the
camera. Try this free fix before you do anything else: remove the batteries and wipe the camera contacts firmly with
a dry cloth (heavy corrosion may require cleaning with a wire brush,
steel wool, or sandpaper). Remove any residue that may have fallen
into the battery compartment during cleaning, then wipe both ends of
the batteries and place them back in the camera. This cleaning clears
the problem about 90% of the time. If it doesn't work for you, your batteries may need to be replaced, or the camera may have
a problem that requires professional repair.

Canon's web site says: Service Notice: CCD Image Sensor Advisory (Updated 10/31/2006)
This Service Notice will update Canon U.S.A., Inc.'s previous CCD Image Sensor Advisory, dated October 6, 2005.
It has come to our attention that the vendor-supplied CCD image
sensor used in certain Canon digital cameras and digital video
camcorders may cause the following malfunction: When the product is
used in recording or playback mode, the LCD screen and/or electronic
viewfinder may exhibit either a distorted image or no image at all.
While reports of this malfunction have been rare in the United States,
we have determined that it may occur if the product is exposed to hot
and humid environments.
Notice of Additional Affected Products:
As a result of our continuing investigation of this malfunction, we
have determined that the 11 models listed below, in addition to the 16
models listed in our Service Notice concerning this malfunction, dated
October 6, 2005, may be affected.
Affected products:
- Camcorders: ZR60, ZR65 MC, ZR70 MC, ZR80, ZR85, ZR90, ELURA 40 MC, ELURA 50
- Digital Cameras A60, A70, A75, A300, A310, S230, SD100, SD110,
A40(*), A80(*), A85(*), A95(*), S1 IS(*), S60(*), S200(*), S330(*),
S400(*), S410(*), S500(*)
*Models added as of Oct.31, 2006
Malfunction:
It has been confirmed that the connecting parts of the internal wiring
of the CCD used in affected products may become disconnected,
especially if the affected products are stored or used in
high-temperature and high-humidity environments. If this occurs, the
signal is not output from the CCD normally in Shooting Mode, which may
cause a distorted image or the absence of an image. This malfunction
can be confirmed on the LCD monitor screen during shooting. The same
malfunction also appears on the recorded image.
Canon's Response:
Effective immediately, and regardless of warranty status, Canon will
repair, free of charge, the products listed above exhibiting the
above-mentioned malfunction if Canon determines that the malfunction is
caused by the CCD image sensor. Canon will also cover the cost of
shipping and handling in connection with this repair.

Support Center for further assistance at 1-800-828-4040. Support hours
