A camera can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars to its owner. Once it is out of order, most people suffer and have no choice but send it back to manufacturer to repair.

Episode Release: MST3K DAP-DVD Experiment 623 (The Amazing Transparent Man)
Look at you, you are a skinny young man! Here, have another one of my rock-hard, flavorless butter cookies.
But before you do, make sure you learn the proper safety procedures from "The Days of Our Years."
but possible. Try a master restart or take out the battery then place it back.
Pictures are wrong-colored or blurry when taken indoors. Wrong-colored pictures can be caused by your custom color effect setting that your forgot to turn back or wrong scene match. For instance, you shoot at beach using the scene mode for landscape. Blurry indoor photo, this is a very common mistake and nine out of ten times it's the same scenario: people taking shots indoors without the flash. Just because the camera is it doesn't mean that the laws of physics don't apply. If the shutter speed you're using is slower than 1/30 or 1/60 of a second, odds are that the shot will be blurry! A lot of people migrating from film cameras say "well my photos were always sharp with my film camera in these situations", and a likely explanation for that is the use of ISO 400 film. So what's the solution? Here are a few suggestions:use the flash; add more light to the room, if possible; use a tripod; turn up the ISO sensitivity a notch or two. Note that doing this will increase the amount of noise in your image; if you haven't bought a camera yet, consider one with image stabilization
Pictures cannot be downloaded to computer. Other than the malfunction of the software or camera defect, there is a easy way to fix this. buy a card reader. Then, when you insert the memory card, it will mount to your desktop just like another disc, and you can copy the photos directly to your hard disk. You can then use your favorite photo editing software to retouch your photos.
Save your precious money and the boring waiting from factory returns. Check carefully and think twice before you send your camera in.
