Recharged battery, turn on, stays on about 2 seconds then off
I took some pictures then reviewed them. I tried to review again and the camera shut off. I recharged the battery, got a green light, reinstalled battery and camera shuts off. I took the memory card out and turned the camera on, then it went off. It shows on the charger to be fully charged. What is happening?

Usually when somebody that is trying to help you, BTW, it's not only one person, and asked you for more information, is really asking for you to give them just about everything relating to the issue. As an example: What type of batteries does your camera use, some camera use two type of batteries, a regular one like AA or AAA, and a flat battery, usually 1023 or something like that, this is to keep the camera info, and not loosing the time, and set up overtime you turn on the camera . Does it have a memory card? Does it shut off only when reviewing the photos? If you were to put all this info, plus the camera model, we could look into it for you. This is the kind of more information the other person was trying to get. As for the issue, all I can advice is, if it have a memory card take it out and insert it in a computer, so you can see the pictures. Best of luck.
Remove the battery and memory card, switch the power switch on for a few seconds and then switch it off. Make sure the battery is fully charged, re-insert the battery and try to switch on again without the memory card in.
Try to check if the memory is already full, delete some files before taking pictures again.
or Try to check the battery if fully charged
also, review the manual, you might have to review the settings of your camera
Remove the memory cards if any and then switch it on. it must switch on . after that give the reset option from the menu and format the memory and insert it .
There is one more instance in which you will face this problem is if the firmware is damaged. if so you must contact the technician or you can make use of the warranty if you have ..
If you go to display and click down to "review" you should be able to set the review time to what you would like. The default may be 102 seonds. This should work and check the manual
OMG!!! If you still have the camera, try this. I read in one of these forums to spray a burst of brake cleaner in there and blow dry for a few seconds and believe it or not, it worked! That's after me taking it apart to make sure the connectors weren't loose, using the pencil eraser and banging it. I am not making this up. It was my last resort and it worked. Good luck!
It sounds like your camera has the review time setting set to a short value like 1 second. Look in your user manual for Review Time and then follow the steps to change the review time setting on your camera. If this doesn't solve your problem, it would help to know:
1) Do you have your user manual? 2) What do you have the Review Time set for? 3) If you go to playback mode can you see the picture for a longer time?
Problem seems in Loading Motor of Lens Mechanism. Its quite complicated Lens Mechanism. If you dont know about Camera Lens repair, please contact nearest Sony Service Center for proper repair.
I used mine for 1 month & took 300+ pictures, loaded them to my PC. Took 10 pictures over a weeks time & while reviewing them, the camera powered off. I replaced the batteries, tried the "charged" recharchable set & the thing wont power up.WTF!!! .....the **** part is, we're broke & have a baby due any day.....we won't get pictures of our newborn.......signed - upset with Kodak....
Well, I have the same problem. Looks like the mighty SONY has created a turd and now I need to spend another 300 plus dollars for another one. Thanks Sony!
