My pentax optio s10 keeps freezing up mid-use. Sometimes it will turn off while the lens is still zoomed out, but the power light stays on. It wont turn off unless I take the battery out. Its a new camera and it is doing this more and more. In the past week i havent been able to use it at all. Any suggestions?? Thanks

remove the batteries first'
pull the memory stick put it back in
put good (proper milliAmpere hours) new batteries in the camera
If that does not work \turn off the camera
remove the memory stick
Repeat power up
HI there check the battery first. Red light blinking in working mode when the battery not having enough power for flashing. So i suggest you charged the battery fully or if its old then replaced it. Thnaks.
i got it!!! on my cam i hold down the menu button at the same time power on, it will showup a " ver 1.00" and lens move a little maybe u have to do it 2 times but second time it should work
ok have same problem press the power button and and the play> button at the same time. your screen will come on but not lens. then hold the play button down untill lens come out. this will work for you , you may have to do it a couple of times but it will work
Hi drdaved It seems to be a battery cotact problem. The battery contact pins might have some rust. Try to clean them with a rubber and alcohol (after the rubber)
You certainly need to use high capacity Ni-Mah or lithium batteries.
Using alkaline would have caused overheating and may therefore have damaged the board.
You are right to ask is a repair worth it?
Almost certainly the answer is no even if possible.
There are usually no spare parts available.
Go back to tech support and this time simply report the bare facts -'It wont stay on'.
Say nothing about the battery situation.
Depending on the age of the device you may be offered a reasonable swap out price.
