Consider NOT connecting your camera to your laptop.The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program such as Picasa.

ALTERNATE WAY TO TRANSFER PHOTOS TO COMPUTERIf your photos are stored on the memory card, then removethe memory card from the camera and insert it into an USB memory card reader.Connect this USB memory card reader and memory card into the USB port of yourworking computer.

Hmmmm.....this sounds to me like the sensor is damaged (and is likely more expensive to fix than to buy a new camera at this point that would have features that far exceed your M20). One question though: did you try to do a "hard reset" of the firmware? This fixed another issue on battery drain for me. It's like rebooting your computer. Put in fresh batteries, then hold down the power and menu button at the same time until the camera resets (at least that's how it works on my M30). It may reset the problem with the sensor (only guessing). If that doesn't work, I think it's time for a new camera. Good luck!

Normal people can't fix electronic cameras, you need to be an electronics engineer and an optical engineer. Take to a Camera Service Centre for evaluation and repair.

Hi, please ensure that you've not used the camera for more than the advised amount of time by the manufacturer. Also, you can attempt to use the same brand/type of batteries as was including with your camera when you got it. Some manufacturers put internal fimware/software restrictions on their devices. For printers, this would be done for cartridges and in the case of your camera, it would be for batteries. Lastly, I would check that your sd card isn't full before calling Pentax to refer you to a repair shop. Thank you.

Hi for anyone reading this! My 60s was just flashing with this but I fixed it. Took the batteries out, swapped them and that didn't work. Tried to put the old ones back in a few minutes later and then it was fine! Just fiddle around with it. Hope this helps.

Could be failure of the charging circuit

(the E30 records Standard def video so it should be OK) Do you get any error messages at all? Does it allow you to record video and then fail, or can you not activate recording in the first place?

First of all, I assume you are using an SD card (Max 2GB) as that appears to be the maximum the camera can use. That being so, all you need to do is either transfer the contents of the internal memory to the SD card, or to your computer, thus freeing the internal memory. Then set the camera up so that it writes straight to the SD card.

Try Google, or contact Ricoh for your country.
